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 ??
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
I'm deciding if I should and if I would benefit from this program, with lock down and work and hours being different, my gym isn't open long hours anymore, I used to do a ton of Lite weight high volume, its been 3 months since I've lifted, and his program is much less than im used to doing, I wonder if running this program fully in both blocks would benefit me and if I'd see results.
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
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.
I’m on week two for this.. really happy with the change and the progress I’m seeing. Jeff is great at this, your reviews and channel are also wonderful. Keep it up.. this will take off soon.. buckle up
@@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.
@@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.
How are you doing so far, i'm also looking to train 5 days a week, and i have both programs you mentioned, did you modify anything such as volume, sets, intensity to combine upper/lower with push pull legs ?

@@neversate thx, in my country The gyms are still open :), i just finished The upper lower for 3 time, so when I read that you trained 5 day x week with this push pull legs I wondered how did you do it. I am 16 y/old been lifting for 2 year but now I am stuck, may be this programa might help me. :)
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.
Love the review and the fact u can auto regulate the program to price more volume of need me… especially if the lifter is intermediate or advance level…
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!
@@ddot1036 I would stick with the fundamentals program for now then, you're still pretty much in the beginner phase, need a bit more consistency before you jump up to intermediate.
@@ddot1036 usually its after a year or two of consistent lifting that one can go from beginner into intermediate( according to the lifting community) then at year 3 or 4 a person can move into becoming an advanced lifter.

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.
Can I just say great review you have a new subscriber but the muscle underneath the bicep is not the brachioradialis it's the brachialis.
I wanted to ask when should we try our max in this program? 😐

Hey man...
Can you please review baby groot by John meadows...
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
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
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.
Did he say if this program was better than the Jeff Nippard Full body program? I am not sure what one to run
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.
@@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

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
What are you looking to add?
Can i switch it up to push pull legs not legs push pull?
Yeah, shouldn't be a problem, as long as you're consistent with that.
Can you review Aworkoutroutine
so after the second block do you re-run the program? or can you? or should I get a new program?
Yes, you can rerun the program. You can do that multiple times and should. Just readjust the weights used as they should gone up slightly.
