[@MRBarton369]

@@FreeJidion6969 if I had a channel with videos I could elaborate better. I started out realistic and haven’t ego lifted in years. I went to rpe 8 or 9 every lift every set every time. From week 1 till week 8 I gained at minimum 10% on everything. After this program I went to high rep sets, 20 reps min. and I was doing those sets easily with the weight I started in JN program. For example incline press I started at 40lbs each dumbbell for first week and first set with JN, during high rep program I started the same and did 22’s. Progress was amazing…if you’re not going to be disciplined don’t waste your time or money…eating and sleep are honestly the things I had to change the most…lifting is easy.. it’s fun…but the program works..100% worth it. You get a crazy amount of physiological knowledge from him also.

[@oosik411]

@@MRBarton369 I just started block 2, seems less volume then block 1. Ever feel like you needed to add a set here and there in certain exercises? I was thinking adding some theory from RP when I’m not ‘feeling’ the muscle activate enough.

[@BodegaCivic]

Amazing content perfectly explained, most definitely gained a new sub. I started the gym for the first this week, would this particular program work for me to maximize newbie gains ??

[@LiftingExplained]

Thanks, welcome! I would not recommend it for a beginner, his fundamentals of hypertrophy program would be a better fit. If you're a complete beginner where you've never lifted weights at all, then Barbell Medicine's beginner template would be a good one to start with.

Another video idea: how to create the perfect exercise program... as in for influencers trying to put one together

[@schaef193]

This one right here☝️

[@LiftingExplained]

Currently working on a side project that should help with this, will be launching fairly soon!

[@giuliolafauci6982]

Read books and work to understand the working principles of program design. Most “influencers” aren’t actually putting out practically sound programs. They’re throwing a bunch of exercises at a wall and seeing what sticks basing their recommendations off of what looks cool or flashy on Instagram. More often than not effective programming is way more simple than you want it to be. Appreciate this and you’ll be on your way to better programming

[@jasperm.8093]

@@giuliolafauci6982 Couldn't have worded it better!

[@jasperm.8093]

For powerlifting you could check out Juggernauts Programming Manual. But tbh I've been obsessed with programming for 4 years and I've coached 6 people for years, worked with hundreds of people through personal training, have been coached by great coaches (Pete Rubish and Mikey Dee from Flexx Training Systems). Only this year do I truly feel confident in my programming. It takes a lot of time to understand how to merge all variables together in a package that works for someone, let alone making a cookie cutter plan that needs to work for everyone.

[@oosik411]

Finished first half of the program, it’s good wish had a better list of alternative exercises and also seems to have random little typos that confuse you over sets/reps.

[@Kangroe]

Just found your channel and it's awesome! Would love to hear what you think about Juji's book The Builder some day!

[@LiftingExplained]

[@drvenhrd46]

[@markmendozamusic]

Would love to see you review Mike Thurston’s hypertrophy programme

[@fargnbastage]

I was consistent in the gym for 12 years, but once my first child was born...it took a backseat. While I've maintained a "presence" it's not been consistent for the past 4 years. I've also put on a good bit of fat...probably 25lbs. I'm 6ft, 225 and 22%bf. Would this program be good for cutting? I feel like I'm suffering from information overload since trying to get back into this lifestyle and I'm feeling a bit lost.

[@marcusflint3168]

Only way to cut is to stay in a calorie Deficit my friend. Don't need to be dropping your calories drastically as you'll sacrifice muscle.

[@Smart_DJ_Bro]

Can I follow this program, I am presently at 20% bodyfat and 2 years of gym experience.

[@zeninfamous4865]

Would this be good for sports as I’m trying to find a good program for gaining strength and a little bit of Hypertrophy if possible. The sport I am looking to focus on is football. I am not as educated as you are and do not want to pick something that won’t help me advance and get held back, because I didn’t know any better. If not what programs would you recommend to try out.

[@julioalvarez6294]

The audacity to try and change the amount of volume on this guy's program also if it wasn't challenging enough then use heavier weight

[@spacebar5670]

Would you recommend this for an early intermediate? I’ve been milking linear progression for a while and have started looking at some intermediate programs to switch to in the next few months

[@LiftingExplained]

I think I would stick with what you're doing now for a bit more, until you know that you are at that intermediate level.

[@mohammedarafatlone]

I wanted to ask when should we try our max in this program? 😐

[@adamqjsmith]

Did he say if this program was better than the Jeff Nippard Full body program? I am not sure what one to run

[@LiftingExplained]

Neither is better than the other, it just depends on what your goals are and which split you would respond to better. If you know which split you respond to better, go with that one.

[@adamqjsmith]

@@LiftingExplained thanks man appreciate it! I like the full body because i feel llike its a lot easier to skip a day if i have to work late

[@troublemaker948]

Great content for reviewing fitness programs ! Since i'm a beginner, (less than 3 months of practical experience) but i watch a lot of bodybuilding/fitness videos, read books like (Jeff Nippard Ultimate Guide To Body Recomp) about nutrition and especially trying to find the best fitness program that suits me, because i have a lot of free time so i can work up to 5x/week therefore i'm looking to achieve a body recomposition (i'm a bit overweight), as i'm looking to work 5 times a week (not 3 or 4) so no fullbody and upper/lower splits, thus i'm wondering which program would suit me the best for a 5 day routine split ? Actually i've looked into 3 programs (2 of them are destined for beginners): Greg Doucette (Harder Than Last Time) but it features a circuit/rotation which i dont like and i'd rather prefer straight sets, i dont know if its possible to turn it to straight sets. Jeff Nippard: Fundamentals Hypertrophy but the 5 day routine is a bodypart split so it doesnt work all muscle groups twice per week John Meadows (Baby Groot): It only features a 3 day fullbody routine As such, what would you recommend, do you know any other good programs that feature a 5 day split routine for beginners such as PPL/Upper,Lower or should i just use on these intermediate programs like the one in this video from Jeff or use a 4 day routine split like Upper/Lower ? As i said, im really looking to progress as fast possible and im willing to be working 5 times per week at the gym since i have a lot of free time. What are your thoughts ? Thanks

[@leonidasbasatis4443]

Its a late comment but, do you prefer this or his upper lower program for a hypertrophy focused intermediate?

[@LiftingExplained]

Both are great and can be beneficial. It depends on the individual and which type they respond to best.

Hey i know it’s way past this upload but i really hope you respond, i am an advanced lifter, who is looking to get stronger and I’ve been in a plateau, do you recommend this program or a different one of his, I’m scare I’ll get weaker in block 1

[@danielrussell7438]

I did all 3 of his powerbuilding programs 4x a week choice and gained a bunch of strength went from 170 to about 190 relatively lean over the course of 2021-2023. dialed in the nutrition and took the programs seriously. Would go from powerbuilding 1 straight into 2 and then into 3 it was awesome I think my maxes at the end went from squat:335 to 405 Deadlift 375 - 425 And bench 235 - 295 Near the end I stopped deadlifting though just because I was putting a lot of stress on my body then I slowly started getting into running again but the results were there. doing all 3 of those all the way through with dialed nutrition was probably the best I’ve ever felt strength and size wise.

[@schaef193]

I have a question, for block 2 after some of the push days i want to do more, do u think that more is better or should I just stick with the program

Hey, I've just stumbled across your channel and I can definitely say it's top tier and I've subscribed! I am torn between this program and his fundamentals hypertrophy program (I have also watched your vid on that). I have prior lifting experience but have been taking it more seriously in the last 7 months. My goal is to gain muscle and lose fat. I have been seeing improvements, but I want to take it to the next level. I would love your opinion on this. Keep up the good work!

Why are so close-minded like this? I'm aware I don't look jacked, but I do lift regularly, and have for a long time. Your perception of the fitness industry is very short-sighted. My formal education and background, as well as the countless athletes and people in the general population that I have trained, gives me the experience to review these programs and know whether they're designed well or not. I also know countless strength and conditioning coaches, including ones in the NFL and NHL, that I've discussed training and program design with countless times. Oh, and many of them are around my size too.
