Program Description

This is a version of Johnny Candito’s Linear Program for Strength/Control I put on here to use myself after Bullmastiff. Check out Candito training at www.canditotrainnghq.com for his actual version. Let me know of any issues. Thanks Mr Candito! Keep going until progress stalls then use another intermediate program. Add warm up sets as necessary.
