Different exercises with different weight amounts. I would recommend this to my friends. Start out with the exercise program that a person picks & the amount of weight stated & increase it if they think they can lift more.

A handful of the videos were YouTube which I’d rather have them all be those animations. Also some of the YouTube videos were taken down so it just would show that the video doesn’t exist, and for the ones that did the screen is too small to see all the details on the YouTube videos, I liked the simplicity of the black and white drawing animations, made it much easier and uniformed to the app.

I'm genuinely impressed with how the program has helped me to progress in both strength and size gains. I have added some upper body exercises to aid consistency and I'm in a bulking phase for context. Many thanks to the creator of this great plan. Highly recommended 👍

Absolutely loved this program. This balanced well with my work life since I could be in and out of the gym within an hour (or less) with this program. I did do this program 4 days a week to avoid overtraining. Overall, found a huge difference with this workout in my body recomp journey. Shoulders got wider, waist narrower, and my lifts felt stronger with how many reps were in each set. I’ll run this again to see how my lifts progress a 2nd time
