You're about to be blessed by the youtube algorithm! Great review.

[@LiftingExplained]

Hope so!

[@josesanchezhernandez5256]

Thanks for the review! Previously ran the first Powerbuilding program and saw great results. Rerunning the Powerbuilding 1.0 starting this week and then hopping into Powerbuilding 2.0 after!

[@dreitill]

Would have been clever to put up a text on the screen after explaining the difference between 4-5 and 6 days split. But a great review regardless! Jeff Nippard knows his stuff, just finishing his LPP this week and by far its the best program I have ever followed.

[@dowhatyouwill]

Do tell! I've been thinking about buying the LPP program for a while now!

@@zaynrahman600 Nippard's program? I loved it, one of my favorite programs I've tried

[@sammyb304]

Disagree with your pull up analysis to be honest. Sure, people struggle with them but there is no reason not to get good at them and just because it says weighted, doesn’t mean you need to add tons of weight, you can simply add weight in small increments until you can achieve the upper end of the recommended rep range while maintaining proper form. Anyone strong enough to do this program should be able to do 4-6 reps strict pull ups.

[@srinathamaravadi220]

This really is a comprehensive review. I liked this one more than that of powerbuilding 1.0. Waiting for your review of powerbuilding 3.0.

[@LiftingExplained]

Thanks, appreciate it! 3.0 review coming soon!

[@robo9466]

Hey man, love your videos. You go into great detail about the programs and as someone who doesn't really know anything about this stuff, I'm grateful this kind of content exists. One question I have about the program is if it is a good idea to repeat the program after the 10 week period is over. What I want is a program that I can stick to for a long period of time, and if this program can only be cycled once or twice, then it is not worth it. What are your thoughts?

[@LiftingExplained]

Yes, you should be repeating it. Most programs are only effective after repeating multiple times. If you respond well to it, then you can keep doing it in long term. Just would need to take a deload after week 10.

[@robo9466]

[@oscarricher]

Thanks for the reviews. Just finishing Jeff's first pb 1.0 program. What program would you recommend next, 2.0? However would like to try another person's/group program even thou I do like Jeff's stuff. Thanks

[@LiftingExplained]

2.0 would be the next program, as it builds off of what you did 1.0. Each is like a phase essentially. You can go onto another program though if you wanted, depending on what your goal is. Just remember that you don't want to program hop, as it could stall progress.

[@aidangregg]

You said to use a hex bar but this is for “power building” and most people are running it to get better at the big 3 with some bodybuilding too.

[@lautaroe.8958]

Here to help with the algorithm ⚡💯 Also great review!

[@jasonlu6771]

I've already run PB Phase 1.0 then moved onto a hypertrophy focused program. Would you recommend re-running phase 1.0 before commencing phase 2.0?

[@ViJei]

No, you can jump to 2.0. Unless you have issue with stamina... Been doing that and feeling great already...

[@landonmatthew]

Would you reccomend weighted pullups for those who can perform up to 15+ pullups with good form?

[@guilhermesoares7857]

Your comment at 15:15 about weighted pull ups didnt make much sense to me. If you are not able to perform weighted pull ups use BW or bands to help you. The stimulus will be there anyway and this way you don't need to change the exercise to lat pulldowns. Pull up is the king of pulling exercises!! It is worth to mention that this program is intended to intermediate to advance lifters so is safe to assume that weighted pull ups should be a achievable exercise.

[@king5club]

Love your reviews man. I had a question for you can I jump into PB 2.0 without having done PB 1.0

[@aidansayadet5170]

Hey man Nippard went over this and he recommends you run PB 1.0 first before you jump into PB 2.0. The reason for this is so that you can recover more efficiently since PB 2.0 is a lot more volume than PB 1.0. But at the end of the day it’s up to you man.

[@Cynical_B]

You don’t NEED to run PB 1 before PB 2, but the Nip man recommends you run PB 1 before PB 2 so you build a solid foundation before hopping onto PB 2. Although the decision is yours.

[@LiftingExplained]

Like Aiden and Brandon said, you can jump to PB 2, but PB1is what helps to build a foundation and prepare you for the increase in intensity and volume.

[@Cristian-kb6ck]

Reviews going ham 👍👍👍 Would you think of reviewing Jonni Shreve’s training book in the future?

[@LiftingExplained]

It's certainly possible!

[@Repienk]

[@breakingeagles6876]

Just started following this programme. Wanting to do PPL after. Could I continue using this PPL and ignore the strength weeks or should I use his original PPL? Thanks, great review!

[@LiftingExplained]

You're better off going to the original PPL, but you don't want to program hop too much. Progress comes from consistency, so find what works best for you, and then stick with it in the long term.

[@breakingeagles6876]

@@LiftingExplained thank you. Yeah I have been doing the original PPL for a while but want to build up some strength and go back to ppl. This one is based on his new PPL (smartest PPL 2021). I will try this and then decide which PPL to follow.

[@muhammedminhaj9418]

@@breakingeagles6876 can you share the program?

[@rocketamac7959]

I’ve just finished his phase one and starting this one now , the volume already killing me . Did you find that at the start ? And then your body adapts the new stimulus ? Or should I rerun 1.0 which I had no problems with recovery atall

[@LiftingExplained]

This is going to be dependent on the individual. Some can handle higher volumes vs others. You can make a modification to lower the overall volume and build up to what is written when you feel you're making progress and recovering well. You can also repeat phase 1, no problem in doing that. You can also modify the first phase to add a bit more volume in that to help your body to adapt to that.

[@Berryss]

Awesome reviews as always Cant wait for you to review Joe Fazer's new program

[@kevinjobe2078]

Is the 4 day option in 2.0 any different than the 1.0 program? I have the 1.0 and am curious if there’s any reason to upgrade.

[@LiftingExplained]

They're two different programs. 1.0 helps you build a base and put on some size, while 2.0 mainly concentrates on hypertrophy. They build off each other.

[@kevinjobe2078]

Thanks for the reply! I see the new 3.0 out now and it looks to slant more to the powerlifting side to build off of 2.0. I think I’ll run the 2.0 based on your assessment. You’ve got yourself a new subscriber. 👍

[@Wraith.Genesis24]

I've just finished this program but where is the maxes? it says that phase 3 starts with maxes but I don't see it?

[@MultiGeetesh]

Please review Jonni Shreeve's Push Pull Legs program

[@AHeroAlmost]

So do 1.0 first then move onto 2.0? Or is there a disadvantage in skipping to 2.0?

[@LiftingExplained]

Yes, you would do 1.0 then 2.0. They're designed to build onto each other, but you can each as a standalone program if you really wanted to.

[@maninboy3973]

@@LiftingExplained So, right now I’m just doing his LPP split that he posted on KZbin. I just bought the power building 2.0. So after the program is over can I continue the LPP/Full body split he was does in the program. Basically what I’m asking is what should you do after the program is over?

[@auraofhim]

He mentions you can Re-run the program with your new Max again or use another program depending on your goals.

[@LiftingExplained]

It generally is best to repeat a program as it can be a but tough to see progress after doing it once. You also don't want to program hop much, sticking with what works for you in the long run is what's best. If you feel this program really worked for you then stick with it. If not, and your goals are different or change, then going to a different program is probably best at that point.

Could you please rate the 90 days wonder body by Frank Zane ? that would really appreciated

[@jackcunningham3401]

Powerbuilding is the future!!!

[@ProdigyMahadev]

Not really it was thing for long time and it is good for people who want something new.You must pick or powerlifting(strength )or hypertrophy(muscle )program depending want to you want if you want to have best results.Simple overload and progress and consistency matter in end.I trained powerlifting and i train now hypertrophy because i m older and risk reward is better also if if you train hypertrophy in is harder then powerlifting because you need more nutrition and mentally focus to be in that.People love to lift for ego but if you want to do it all your life you must pick smart choices and know how to rest and how to not get injured.You are young but sooner you learn it will better for you and watch Renesanse Periodization videos trust me they know what they talk.Also i think Jeff have great programs but for people who are new in that because when you know your body you pick your program and it is simple to learn.

[@slavichwalker9856]

Dear sir, I like the idea of ppl, but as a beginner it may be too much for my first ever split. I found a hybrid split that still has some elements of ppl which works out to be 4 days per week which is nice. Its name on yt is "ARNOLD SPLIT x PUSH PULL HYBRID dr swole" he says its upper body focused, but all 4 days start with legs? My other main concern is that some of the compound movements such as bench press & chin ups are seen in the middle of the workout. If you could take a quick peek at it and lend me your first impressions it would be very appreciated and a great help! :)

[@danteguerra2037]

Do you know why his Phase 2.0 system (5-6 day/week) has even weeks with 6 workout days, and 2 mandatory rest days. This means 8 days in a 7 day week… How does this work? Or am I missing something?

[@norrisgeafar5925]

You’re mistaken, the weeks where you do train 6 days have 1 rest day, how it works is odd weeks are full body days 5x a week with 2 rest days, and even weeks are PPL days 6x a week, with 1 rest day

[@ImSiloh]

Thank you!

Feel like the reason he included heavy pullups instead of pulldowns is because its a powerbuilding program and pullups is probably more powerlifting style.
