Very repetitive and long even for novice, one session can take 2 hours easily

I am at week 6 of this program currently and it is is a great program. I have already added 6kg to my bench 2RM, which as I am yet to hit 100 is quite a large percentage of my max. The intensity is very high and towards the end of the program I can really feel the fatigue setting in, the way the backdown sets are programmed puts them at a very high RPE towards the tail end of the program and it is hard to complete them after pushing yourself on the top set. I have failed a couple reps because of this. My tip would be to autoregulate and drop a couple of the backdown sets if you feel fatigued, I tend to ignore the heavier backdowns and complete the volume to the best of my ability. Overall good program but very intense and high volume!

Looks brutal at first because you’ll be doing like 8-9 sets of a single exercise in one workout (one of the days is literally 9 sets of bench plus 8 sets of close grip bench), however it is actually very doable due to the calculated weights for each set, so most sets will feel very light. I am making new records almost every session.
