I think so improve showing the bench position… to have a clear idea of

Have the workout listed in the workout section after "start now". I have to keep clicking back and forth in order to see the tempo and it resets my timer.

Owen

It was to rough. The last 2 workouts I had to cut short.

Caleb

Eddie

Very good! The sound is not working under the videos.

Zoltan

Workout felt great but there were no rest times on some of them. It would help to have a 360 view of how you set up your equipment too.

It was great bro… hope to get some 1 on 1 once work slows down

Another challenging day!! But we made it!!

Brandon

Brutal! The burnout at the end completely did me in!

Niclas

Break Time between the Two last exercices is missing.

Jean-Charles Marier

Great workout! Unclear if there are any breaks for the superset or burnout circuit. I tried to do it without breaks but I was exhausted and concerned for injuring myself. Circuit is difficult at a busy gym needing two stations.

One of the best chest days I’ve had in a while

Thomas

W1/D4 Chest + Tri’s

Fix the discrepancy between the written program and the log book. Greek Physique Week 1, Day 1 Smith machine split squats is on the program but the log book has Dumbbell Split squats at a different set and rep scheme.

Hard but enjoyable 1st day back after 8 months out. 🦵 😭 😅

W1/D1 Legs 1

Great workout I’m curios for the rest of the program

Shoulders are burning and the 10x10 absolutely crushed my core

J Garcia

W1/D2 Shoulders + Core

The timer for the Barbell Curls needs to have a countdown timer then starts the timer for the 60 second set

Rich

W1/D3 Back + Bi’s

The app is inconsistent with what the outline says the routine is and what it actually turns out to be.

The entire “leg day 2” was brutal side note: hacksquat facing in is not available at every gym so I tempo leg pressed to supplement the second hacksquat (face in)

W1/D5 Legs 2

The outline of the work out does not match what the work out guides you through. The outline says Smith Machine Split Squats while the log book has Dumbbell Split Squats with Eric doing Dumbbell Split Squats. Also, since there is an embedded error, the user cannot flip the Dumbbell Split Squats over to Smith Machine Split Squats. It would be nice to have some better manipulation to flip out similar exercises in cases like this OR or or exercise is too difficult or a problem for someone who may have a disability.

120+ reps on the leg press is sometimes a little difficult to get done at a commercial gym. But I like this workout just have to move around a bunch

Michael

It’s extremely frustrating how inconsistent the videos/check lists are vs what the overview is. Some exercises (smith split squats vs. dumbell split squats) are so different I really don’t know what to go by

Cory

W2/D1 Legs 1

Igor

Workouts are killer, really enjoying the program

W2/D2 Shoulders + Core

The rest times in the outline do NOT match the rest times within the timed program

Awesome! Wish there was more explanation of positioning and place of feet/hands or if it’s an incline bench, what angle it should be at etc in the notes for each exercise. The videos are great and cover most things well visually but more info for greater precision would be greatly appreciated!

Ryan

W2/D3 Back + Bi’s

The banded work is harder the set up than it appears. Also, need to consider that there are some people (like myself) who have had injuries and/or operations that limit our movement. A few things that the US Army messed up were my wrists, lower back and feet which make me have to slightly modify the movements or use some sort of aides as protection.

W2/D4 Chest + Tri’s

Still need to fix the program for prone leg curls… The app wants to do 10 second sets instead of a set of 10 reps
