Personally it takes me more than an hour to complete most of the workouts, but that's more because of my equipment limitations and I spend a lot of time changing plates and such since I workout at home. You also hit back just once a week, and I really like my weighted pull-ups. I personally substituted the leg press for 3 more sets of squats. Squatting once a week kinda sucks, that's one of the drawbacks here. I distinctly remember not being able to complete the 6th set of incline bench (sometimes, even the 5th set) during the first few weeks, but I eventually adapted and now I'm steadily making progress. 9 sets for each body part will burn like hell at first, especially for chest. I changed this to lighter weights and went to the 6-8 rep range with plans to go back to the original 4-6 rep range later.Īt first, it's going to be brutal. The slightest increase in weight makes the movement extra difficult.

I still can't figure out how to do it without massively cheating. Lateral and rear delt raises in the 4-6 rep range is fucking difficult. Slow progress, mind you (I aim to increase by 1-2 reps per exercise per week), but progress nevertheless. I eventually found it difficult to progress using the 8-10 or even 6-8 rep range, but I'm consistently making gains on the 4-6 rep range despite being on a cut. The 4-6 rep range for the most part is really, really good. I'd stay on that until progress starts to stall. It also eases you in the whole lifting thing, and I feel that 3x/week is just right to not burn a beginner out.
I wouldn't recommend it for complete beginners - personally, I benefited from doing compound lifts at least twice a week (for example, the AWR beginner program), as it gives you more opportunities to progress and lift more weight.
It's basically a variation of 5/3/1 - Mike himself calls it a powerbuilding program. I was hesitant to go on it at first because of the bro-split and thinking that I needed to hit each body part 2x per week, but I found myself recovering better and making steady progress following Mike's principles even while I'm on a cut. This is the program I've been using since October and I'm really loving it.
