The Candito 8 Week Program - My Best Intermediate Powerlifting Program

[@CanditoTrainingHQ]

I'll be running the 8 week on the channel this year as well, like the old days with the 6 week program. Forgot to add that in.

Will there be skits of you in your underwear?

Will the V2 of the 6 week program be free? 😢

I got to know what shirt are you wearing?

[@Dizeliun]

"this year"

[@erichbachman7363]

I been using the 6 week program one and off since I first saw it back in 2015? Or possible before? I will def look into the new stuff! I usually do a shorter version though, as I mix cardio(running, mountainbiking) and lifting 50/50.

[@EduardO-gm7hx]

Why would one need the 8 week if there's the 6 week?

[@nickdreezy2457]

6 week is outdated, and he recognizes it’s bad for bench

Just make a sheet man. This is silly. Hard to navigate at the gym, hard to see what you have ahead at a glance, hard to have my lifting partners doing the same thing as me. Driving me to find it elsewhere when I have no issues paying for it.

I’ve been lifting for 12 years and I honestly understood so little of what you’re talking about. Like I trust your expertise but I wish I could follow as to the reason the program is set up the way it is. Why 8 weeks then 5 weeks?

[@Soccasteve]

Yeah, Jonnie is a fricken programming wizard. It’s totally normal to feel that way when he starts deep diving into programming talk.

[@Mersak168]

I'll run your 6w + Adv. Bench first, let you figure out the remaining weeks of this program. The price point is good, but i can't afford rn (i'm from Brazil), but i hope that i'll be able to do so in the future. Specially because of the homegym equipment that you've cited there, which is why i LOVED the 6w Program. The fact that i could run the program with equipment that i had in my garage was simply amazing.

[@MrJbedo]

The 6 wk is a staple I would wait off on buying until you run the 6 wk program for a couple of cycles. Along with waiting for reviews.

[@mendoza2489]

Just finished candito 8 week V2 program today. Today was test day. I only had time to test bench but I started the program with a 1RM 225lb bench and finished today with a 1RM 250lb. I’m 250lb 6ft and prob sit around 25-30% body fat. Ive also been on a slight calorie deficit to get that body fat down for prob about 10 weeks. I would give this program a 10/10. Thanks Johnny. It’s been awesome to see the strength gains and I will say the wife thinks so too. 😉

This seems like a really good value with the options and it feels like a candito eras tour where we can pick a style of training from different parts of Jonnie's IPF career. I'm honesltly really impressed and hyped to see channels running and reviewing these. When my injury heals imma give you 20 sir.

[@mikethaison432]

Hey i bought your program and I'm really excited to try it out. The only issue I'm having is that a few of the terms are confusing to me. Some of which were listed in the frequently asked questions but some were not. Is there a community of people on the program I could speak to? Like a discord or something?

[@JaredHettler]

This program is freaking awesome. My lifts are up the highest that they've been in several years.

[@happyjunki3]

is there somewhere we can talk to other members of the app? like a private discord?

[@SKVMTR4SH]

Currently running the intro phase and on w4, and so far I've been enjoying it. The only thing I couldn't adhere to were the scheduled training days due to my work schedule. I'm excited to see where it goes since Candito's 6 week program was one of the first I've truly adhered to back when I started powerlifting years ago. I will say I'm not quite sure what is meant in the video about a 4 hr q&a since all I've noticed this far is a general "how are you feeling/ feedback" portion.

Is your program also for lifters who want to get strong on other exercised than the big 3? I prefer to focus on RDL's instead of deadlifts. Also want to improve pull up strength, ohp,..

[@alexbryer7892]

Ran my first 6 week program 10 years ago, and ended up cycling it many times after that pushing my maxes considerably each time. Volume in the first couple of weeks is challenging but it's a great program; that and the linear program is the best concert of routines possible imo. Even bought a t-shirt that I quickly outgrew... you're running quite the business model. Life took over the last several years but I'm really eager to get my numbers back up. You've always been one of the good ones Jonnie

[@stupotjones99]

Do you have access to the full programs after signing up? i.e. is it easy to seem their full content start to finish from day one?

[@shaohungko2540]

Ive joined the 8 weeks program, but i hope there could be a set number to do rather than RPE, its quite difficult to decide which weights to go in each workout since mentally ill be simply inclined towards essier weight...

I've been running the 6 week now for about a year and constantly see progress with it, I do add a set to the bench though. If you need help developing a mobile app for IOS and Android let me know.

[@harrisonshaw513]

Monthly subscription training program. Not sure there is much apitate for that. Most people will want to pay once for the program.

[@clap5]

So this is a subscription? I can't just buy the program?

[@JackehTube]

Will you add a 4x, or 5x week bench version in the coming future? As of right now it just goes from 3 to 6 in bench frequency which is kind of a big jump.

[@Ema-th4uj]

Looks like it's a bad time for me to be injured, I'd totally try this program, but I'm just not the yet when it comes to recovery. I probably need the squat hypertrophy program more right now because 65-75% of my previous 1RM is the most I can confortably do right now.

[@Timpah1]

Is the programs only RPE based or is there also percentage based approach?

[@TheTrueBanana1]

will there be versions of the program or programming advice built within that takes into account the differences in volume and intensity when in a calorie surplus vs deficit? a lot of people do mini cuts for meets and those weeks need slightly different progrmming
