Rip And Tear is a 12 week program focused around high frequency, high weight, low rep Squat, Bench and Deadlift. It aims to put a fine edge on your technique in these movements at low rep ranges. It is a good choice for a lifter who has spent time focusing on other areas who wants to take their strength and size gains and turn them into personal records in Squat, Bench and Deadlift.

3xweek squat in the past has always been too much in the past, but this program manages the volume really well. I'll very likely hit a squat PR. I had to significantly reduce my deadlift TM because I pulled my back early on (not the program's fault). So hard to judge progress there. Bench gains have simply maintained on this program. 3xweek works well for me, but I think I need more volume at slightly lower intensities.

Love the high frequency SBD, although i overshoot constantly, i’ve still seen significant strength gains. Overall feeling amazing.

I’m a strength and conditioning coach myself, so I can stay with some authority that this is a solid program. I like that he writes down only the bare minimum strength lifts that are prescribed, so that the more experienced lifter can create their hypertrophy program around it (that’s what the notes suggest and that that’s what I did) For full on strength, I added chin ups twice per week on the Tuesday and the Friday . For hypotrophy, I was focusing on what I need for my sport, and I expect people who follow this program to know what they want to focus on. It’s not for beginners though; you want to know what you are doing with the weight. And do you want to have an idea of what you need to do in addition

Excellent programme so far. Big strength gains and the workouts can be completed relatively quickly if you don’t add accessories. Would recommend doing some core, back and of course calves!

Still not done but building back strength from about two years ago even though I am in a calorie deficit. Less than halfway but seeing progress.

Good program for strength but my god is it demanding on your posterior chain. Did fell a bit “go heavier every session” without the accessory work. I’d recommend this to a beginner or someone bulking looking to gain strength as they’d be gaining the size they want anyway

There’s lots of room for adding your own supplemental movements/exercise.
