Overall it’s a very solid program. I ran it during a very busy semester at university and it certainly was the best fitness decision I could have made. Not only did it not make me overly exhausted, like higher volume programs would, but I also made a lot of progress in regards to muscle and strength gain, especially the latter. I’m an intermediate lifter, so I can’t say for sure how beneficial this program would be for novices, since for it to be effective I believe it’s important to have some level of understanding of what training intensity is. But you gotta start somewhere, don’t you? Anyway, I recommend this program especially if like me you’re also short on time, or just prefer lower volume training. P.S.: I did very few modifications to its original structure, mainly just swapped a few exercises to suit my preferences and skill level.

I've used classic lifting programs like Stronglifts 5x5 and some others and always struggle with building strength. This is the first program I've tried that I don't find boring and where I'm increasing my strength instead of stalling prematurely like happened with the previous programs. I love it and can see myself repeating the cycle. I've got weak legs so I added a few additional exercises on leg day (while I'm able) as I'm slowly increasing weight on the mandated exercises. Added back extensions as a finisher on other days as I feel it benefits my body.

Solid, well rounded program: efficient and effective selection of exercises. Also has all compound movements covered. Make sure you rest adequately and consume enough calories between each workout and you’ll see awesome results!

Brilliant program, surprised it’s not as popular as some others. Ideal level of intensity and volume for training three days per week. Includes pretty much all conventional compound lifts, enough to leave you needing 48 hours to recover from. some adjustments on some accessory lifts only e.g. barbell skull crushers for tricep work instead of cable pull downs every other week or so. massive increase in DL + bench lifts. third cycle and aim tk continue until gains stagnate.
