This program is great for beginners to intermediate lifters looking to fully take advantage of their “newbie gains” phase. The program revolves around what most new lifters really need to focus on: tracking and progressing big “Meat and Potatoes” exercises. The high frequency of body parts trained will allow you to arguably progress much faster than you could with the typical “bro split”. This program can also have merit for advancement lifters low on time. Personally, if I could only train 2-3 times a week, I would likely utilize a full body program.

This is an intermediate to advanced program with a back focus. Do you want a wide back? Or a thick back? Whatever you said: Wrong answer. You want both. This program is also one of my favorite styles of programs, as I would consider it a push, pull, lower hybrid. Keeping the focus on big “meat and potatoes”, “logbooked” movements…while progressing to some brutally dense bodybuilding style volume towards the end of the program. You want lats so wide you can’t fit down aisles at the grocery store? And erectors so thick you lose car keys in them? This is YOUR program.
