W1/D5 - Shoulders

It was amazing! Had to Skip the hex bar deadlift unfortunately my gym doesn’t have one

Kaleb

My legs are smoked 
Loved the videos 
Loved the explained rest times 
Ready for the next 9 weeks!

It was a good set to get me back in the saddle. It left me with a good burn. Unfortunately, I lacked the equipment for the leg press and the superset.  That's what I get for being spontaneous.

Ivan

Jaime

I hit failure so many times today I laughed. I'm smoked

W1/D2 - Chest Day

I've hit total failure everday during the supersets. Huge pump today!

Will

Great workout!  Just challenging enough without being too much.

W1/D3 - Back & Biceps

I was going to try to put this as my cardio before my lifting session to be an alpha chad but I just couldn’t do it, kudos if you can try this

Feels like I want pushing hard enough but the 400’s got me

Gabe

Thank God for my Garmin. I wish I had a track I could hop on to do these work outs but running around my local park hills and all will just help. Good cold wet run in the rain today

W1/D4 - Sprints Pyramid

Reached muscle failure and a sick pump 😎

Sean

W1/D6 - Arms

W1/D7 - REST, REST, REST!!

I feel my lower back now.  Good workout!  I definitely challenged myself on that one, especially with the squat and deadlift.

I pushed it harder here in week 2. This program has totally changed my repscheme and weights. Felt good to push hard, may not be able to run hard later but I think a good recovery run will do me well or I may not be able to walk tomorrow!

W2/D1 - Leg Day

It's was a good burn.  I could barely do any of the last superset by the end.

I recommend changing the close grip chest press to another exercise. Perhaps cable pulls for chest

W2/D2 - Chest Day

Ive hit total failure on this work out every week. I end up having to go to my knees for the decline pushups after the dip at the end

W3/D2 - Chest Day

Arms are shaking as I type this. Great feeling!

W3/D3 - Back & Biceps

Great programme. Happy to get phase 1 done!

W3/D6 - Arms (**END PHASE 1)

W3/D7 - REST, REST, REST!!

New super set was hard but I made it through my 4th round of dips before hitting failure on them!

W4/D1 - Chest (**BEGIN PHASE 2)

My legs were cooked afterwards, great workout 🔥

Carlos

King of the Yard baby. That left me feeling King of the Yard

W4/D2 - Lower Body

The cable raises roasted me right off the bat, felt the burn all the way through

W4/D3 - Shoulders

Solid trusted super value!
Like the shorter session format!

W4/D4 - Back & Biceps

Starting to feel a big difference. 🔥💯

Tried to hold race pace for the intervals and just jogged the rest periods

W4/D6 - 400m, 800m, 100m Sprints

The first super set makes me contemplate life choices, hard. But I love it
