Just bought the program due to your review, very honest and to me it sounds like Jeff Nippard is very reliable in terms of programs etc. So thx man, keep it up!
Great review! I'm using this program right now and I've got all 3 of them lined up. You're right about the exercise substitution section. I'd love to see injury specific substitutions. Only because I know Jeff is capable of it. For years, I would just drop the exercises that perpetuated my injuries but now I am thankful to be knowledgable enough to make appropriate substitutions.
Hey Joe! Sending a ton of support from Mexico. If you had to pick 3 programs, one for beginners, intermediates and advanced, which would they be? Would you say this is the best so far for in/ad? Thanks, keep it up 💪🏼
Thanks for the support, I appreciate it! This program is definitely a good one for those that are advanced. It depends though on the type of program you're interested in (hypertrophy vs strength, or a mix). If you're mainly interested in a mix, then this is a good program to try. For beginners, Jeff has his Fundamentals of Hypertrophy program which I liked. I honestly can't really pick 3 specific ones though since there are quite a few that I've found to be equally good. Jeff's programs are a good place to try. There's also Renaissance Periodization, and Joe Bennet (The Hypertrophy Coach). Joe Bennet has a subscription service for $10 a month and he teaches literally everything there is to know about hypertrophy. He's a really smart guy, so that's another good place to go. Hope this helps.
Welcome to the channel! Yeah, you can definitely run this multiple times. The best progress comes from following what works for a long period of time. After the deload week (week 11) you can start it again with your new max or take a week off and then start again.
I have personally ran through this program twice and my squat and deadlift have blown up each time. Not so much on bench though, added only about 5 pounds to my PR every time I've run through it. Could just be a single case with me, or I just have too high expectations of how much my bench PR should've gone up
I ran the program twice, made great gains. Added some extra isolatie work for the calves, triceps, rear delts, forearm abs. But the program gives the time room for that but it is still not to long.
Don't know about pullup pro but FitnessFAQs body by rings is top notch. Put 2cm onto my biceps in 12 weeks, gives you good information for regression and progression for each exercise. It's a 4 day a week program, 2 push, 2 pull, split into 3 phases, each phase is 5 weeks + 1 week deload, then some exercises are added and the volume goes up for the next phase. Bear in mind pullup pro is a specialist program to learn the one armed pullup, not sure how it'll be spread out or organised but I imagine it's good.
tbh the workout substitution is going a little far that means he would have research every possible injury of every possible body part and find a alternative for it
What do you mean? He doesn't give any medical advice in the program, and also has a disclaimer at the beginning about consulting your doctor before exercising.
@@LiftingExplained I was just referring to the part where you talk about his exercise substitution section. You said that he needs to add more details, for example- if i have a shoulder injury what exercise should I replace, and what should I replace it with? These are questions for your doctor that can't be put into the pdf for his program. He does have a coaching team, and he invites you to email them with any questions you might have, so I suppose you could ask them. But even then, your doctor would be a better option.
@@OtsuDC I see what you're saying, and in a way I do agree. I think it depends on exactly what the injury is and the severity of that injury. For example, if you just pulled a muscle, then Jeff would be able to recommend a substitution for that, but if you slip a disc in your back, then yeah that will certainly require a doctor.
@@LiftingExplained yeah. I just don't think it is realistic to expect Jeff to make a comprehensive book on every injury there is and a way to work around said injuries. Thats what I am getting at.
@@OtsuDC I agree, and not what I meant. He just needs to state a bit more about making substitutions, since most don't know, and if it's due to injury, then stare about consulting a doctor.
Hey man I really need your help !! So I’ve been working out for 6 months and I wanna know what’s the best exercise routine to follow so I can get the maximum amount of muscle ( hypertrophy )💙... and gain the highest amount of power ( powerlifting )❤️ but I don’t know what to follow there’s aloooot of videos, programs and I can’t get should I buy this program or should I follow ppl ... I mean I don’t want to waste my years training while I can get the same effect in less period of time .... so what do you prefer for 4 days a weeek and what do you prefer for 5 - 6 days a week ? 💚 My age : 18 / 6 months of training with good nutrition plan PR : B - 80 kg | sq - 150 kg | deadlift - 160 kg
I have a question regarding the dead lift. Why do you believe that it is better for the general population to trap bar dead lift rather than do a regular dead lift? Is it because of injury risk? Do you still hold this belief when training high level athletes? The hip hinge in the regular dead lift is much more prominent than in the trap bar dead lift, which is more like a squat. To my knowledge, this greatly benefits hamstring and glute development and that can help to prevent knee injuries in athletes. Would you recommend extra hamstring work? I am asking because my sister plays collegiate soccer, and she is also a strong and skilled lifter. They have her doing cleans, front squats, and trap bar dead lifts, and there is not an emphasis on the hip hinge. Despite this, there is not much direct hamstring work to make up for that problem. This blows my mind because girls are much more likely to suffer ACL injuries, and hamstring strength can reduce that risk. At least to my understanding. Thanks.
Yes, it is mainly due to injury risk, especially since it's rather difficult to get the technique right. Yes, I absolutely do apply this to athletes. I personally know and have assisted strength coaches at both the collegiate and pro level, including the NHL and NFL. They don't use the deadlift, they use the trap bar, because it's overall safer and much easier to coach. Is there more hip hinge in the deadlift? Maybe. But that can be easily trained through RDLs, Glute Ham Raises, High Pulls, and many other movements that are again much easier to coach and get the technique right. There should be an emphasis on the hip hinge, so yeah, it wouldn't hurt for your sister to do a little extra hamstring work. The exercises I mentioned are good ones to start with. I'm honestly not a fan of cleans either, since that's even harder to get right and coach than the deadlift.
@@LiftingExplained I feel the same way about cleans in general, but she has been doing them for over 6 years now and is very good at them. She has only ever done front squats, so I recommended that she try something like a low bar squat instead, which I believe will bring up weak points that were potentially created by her style of training. Also she has some patellar tendinitis, and I think the decreased amount of torque on the knee in the low bar squat would be better for that. I will definitely recommend that she does some of the exercises you mentioned.
@@OtsuDC the low bar squat might help, but it would be best for her to see a sports doctor and a physical therapist to pinpoint the exact issues and exercise recommendations.
I’m an intermediate lifter but have never practiced sumo or conventional deadlifts, is it good for me to start this program or should I start practicing deadlifts and then hop on this power building program. (Any other recommendation on powerbuilding programs for my case?) Btw, Love your content! Greetings from Mexico
oh yeah you should definitely try to master the deadlift but you can still run the program. deadlifts are great for strength and size so you should definitely learn sumo or conventional
Is this program good for someone who is on a time crunch? I don’t mean days per week but I’m curious how long the workouts are like could I get it done in 45 minutes
N/A means that you don't need to use RPE for determining weight for that particular exercise. Choose a weight that you feel can get a stimulus with the reps prescribed, and progress from there. The % means the percentage of weight of your 1 rep max for that particular lift. So if your 1 rep max for your squat was 200 lbs, and the program says "75%" for that exercise, then you would use 150lbs for the sets.
I've never done a preset program created by someone else. I've always made my own with pretty good results. But I'm thinking try this out to see how it differs from what I've always done
Both are oriented to achieve gains in both muscle and strength. The main difference is the structure of the programs, but they will pretty much lead to similar outcomes. The powerbuilding program my help in specifically increasing your numbers in your squat, bench, and deadlift. Either one should suit your goals fine if you're looking for a mix and are an advanced lifter.
Gyms are opening tomorrow for me and im starting tomorrow! :D. Should i try to max so i can use it for the program or just wing it? Don’t wanna get injured
When was the last time you actually lifted? If it's been a while, don't max. Instead I would just start slow, and work in a higher rep range to begin with.
Jw why you think a trap bar is better than the conventional dl? Is there a difference in muscle hypertrophy? I do the my dl with a sumo stance - is there anything wrong with that?
There isn't a big difference in muscular development between the two, but I prefer the trap bar because it puts the weight in-line with your center of mass. This makes the lift more ideal biomechanically, and allows for easier and safer technique. Like I mentioned, there's nothing wrong with the conventional deadlift, I'm just not a huge fan. The sumo stance is fine, I think it's a safer form over conventional.
@@LiftingExplained I think so too I'm still trying to recover from quarantine I lost 40 lbs and my maxes are still suffering my bench dropped to 205 and my squat is still only 275 when i weighted 225 i benched 225 and squatted 325 so I'm almost back to my old maxes
@@LiftingExplained yeah I know it happened to all of us but I forgot to resistance train when iij did my cut so my maxes went down more than they should've
Yep, absolutely. Progress comes from long steady work, where things aren't really changed much. I would recommend a week or two in-between starting the program again where you deload or take the time completely off.
hey man ive been working out for about a year now and i think i want to do this program. Do you think it is ok for me to run it? I have done push pull legs for the past 6 months, gained 4kg. And im 16, weigh 64kg. Thanks if you reply it would mean the world!
You should be ok, but nothing wrong with continuing with what you've been doing for a bit longer. Don't need to rush into anything, lifting is a marathon, not a sprint.
I’ve purchased the 4 day pw version and I’ve noticed that the sets per week volune is less than 10 for most weeks... 7-8 most weeks. I’m concered that I’m going to be dropping a shit ton of volume (currently progressing on 14-15 sets per week)
You can, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it. Cutting is kind of a delicate sort of thing, and you're not really going to gain a ton of muscle or strength during it (maybe some, but not a whole lot). During your cutting phase, get down to where you want to be, and then you can follow this program. However, keep in mind, the purpose of this program is pretty much the opposite of cutting, so you're trying to add on both size and strength. This means that if you cut, and then did this program, you would probably add back on at least some of what you just cut, if that makes sense. If you are interested in running this program, then your best option would probably be to run it (maybe even a few times), and then do your cutting phase.
@@LiftingExplained Would love to know your thoughts on this. Since it is made with an legendary MMA fighter and the modules are freely available on TH-cam!
I will get to it, there a few others that I'll be reviewing first though due to previous requests. I did look at the programs he has, is there a specific one you want me to cover?
I don't have a phobia for it, I just stated that I think the trap bar is a better movement for the general population. If you want to do the deadlift, then do the deadlift.
I wouldn't do it if you're a beginner, you need to build a base to handle it first. Barbell Medicine's Beginner Template is a good place to start. I did a review for it you can see here: th-cam.com/video/i1PAzLyn9Kc/w-d-xo.html
I just finished the program and honestly had some eh results. My physique definitely improved but my squat only went up 10 lbs, my bench 5 lbs, and deadlift 30 lbs
@@MatthewMcNabb91 I said that's actually good progress for someone who already has been lifting for that long. You're not a beginner, so progress in strength will be slower. Gaining 10lbs on your squat in just a couple months is actually a good amount. For advanced lifters, 10lbs can take a couple years!
@@LiftingExplained well the reason I'm disappointed is that it's not equivalent to my old PRs that I had before quarantine I figured muscle memory would come into play and I could hit closer to my old PRs
Hey! I found in your channel something that I never saw in other place. Thanks for your time. I have a request for you. Can you analyze Beginner template of Barbell Medicine?. If you already review this program, can you tell me in resume what do yo think about this program?. Keep up with the good work!
Ive started running this program and I'm on week 3, Do you think you should increase your estimated 1RM if I'm hitting the percentage numbers easily. For example I was meant to do 75-80% on bench for 8 reps at RPE 8.5 I did 80% for 10 at RPE 8, which suggests my estimated 1RM is a bit low.
You max out at the end of the program. So you can pr then. From 100-105%. Even if the numbers go are too easy then. At least you have chances of going up again and improving your technique... BTW it gets harder every week, so it could catch up to you eventually
I am 2/3 done with power building one and am very much enjoying the program. I agree it is well thought out and structured well. I do also agree that there should be more information on frequency and how to choose the best one for you. I originally chose the 5-6x a week one, but believe 4x may be better suited for me. I think more information on the differences between the two programs, besides the frequency obviously, would help. I will most likely go with the 4x a week for powerbuilding 2.0 😊 great video!
I agree with everything you said with the exception of knowing how to choose your frequency. He's said this program is designed for for the Intermediate/ advanced lifter. Most people at that level of experience already know how their body responds to recovery and should be able to know which frequency would work best for them. But your review was great thanks for the video
Appreciate the input. Yes, at this point, you should have a pretty good idea on what frequency works best for you, but at the same time, life can get in the way, and you have to base your frequency around that, which some people even at this level may not realize.
Jeff did a good job with his new program!
To be honest when does any of his programs not do a good job.

I feel like the reason Jeff includes the regular deadlift is because he used to be a powerlifter, where I dont think you can do trap bar deadlift
That certainly could be the case.
Just started this. Excited to see where it takes me. Does this seem like a program that could be ran multiple times if you adjust you 1rm following?

Doing this now because I got bored in the gym. It seems very good and very fun.
During these reviews, I appreciate them. But do u run the program yourself? I'd love to see what gains u got on lifts or body comp, etc...

@@LiftingExplained well the reason I'm disappointed is that it's not equivalent to my old PRs that I had before quarantine I figured muscle memory would come into play and I could hit closer to my old PRs
You’re lucky to even get that. I did the program made 0 gains to any of my lifts.
Would you be able to review Nick Bare?
Yep, it will probably take a bit of time to get to that one though since the list for requests is fairly long now.
You don’t think people should deadlift?! That’s my favorite exercise lol
side lateral more fatiguing then weighted dips? lol
am i supposed to do 1.0, then 2.0, then 3.0, then start again at 1.0?
or keep repeating 3.0?
or should i do a few repeats of 1.0 before moving to 2.0?
You can do either way. They build off each other, but you can repeat 1 if you feel it's needed.
thankyou!!@@LiftingExplained

Hey! I found in your channel something that I never saw in other place. Thanks for your time. I have a request for you. Can you analyze Beginner template of Barbell Medicine?. If you already review this program, can you tell me in resume what do yo think about this program?. Keep up with the good work!
Ive started running this program and I'm on week 3, Do you think you should increase your estimated 1RM if I'm hitting the percentage numbers easily. For example I was meant to do 75-80% on bench for 8 reps at RPE 8.5 I did 80% for 10 at RPE 8, which suggests my estimated 1RM is a bit low.
You max out at the end of the program. So you can pr then. From 100-105%. Even if the numbers go are too easy then. At least you have chances of going up again and improving your technique... BTW it gets harder every week, so it could catch up to you eventually
I am 2/3 done with power building one and am very much enjoying the program. I agree it is well thought out and structured well. I do also agree that there should be more information on frequency and how to choose the best one for you. I originally chose the 5-6x a week one, but believe 4x may be better suited for me. I think more information on the differences between the two programs, besides the frequency obviously, would help. I will most likely go with the 4x a week for powerbuilding 2.0 😊 great video!
Any thoughts on Jeff Nippard’s Push Pull Legs program?
I agree with everything you said with the exception of knowing how to choose your frequency. He's said this program is designed for for the Intermediate/ advanced lifter. Most people at that level of experience already know how their body responds to recovery and should be able to know which frequency would work best for them. But your review was great thanks for the video
Appreciate the input. Yes, at this point, you should have a pretty good idea on what frequency works best for you, but at the same time, life can get in the way, and you have to base your frequency around that, which some people even at this level may not realize.
Great Book; Great Review.
More strength to you.
Thanks!
can a intermediate lifter use this?
Yeah, shouldn't be a problem.
