hi can you review the free calgary barbell programs? i have ran through it 3 times and debating whether i should try jamals programs (now on v5) or just stick to getting the most out of calgary’s free program
@@machokeospower not serious about powerlifting just want to get stronger… How much days per week and how many hours per session? Also how intense is it? Are you always sore etc?
Wish you could review Chris "Beastmode" Jones beginners program. Also, his other programs and Jonni Sherve Push, Pull, Legs program. Thanks in advance.
i'm on week 11 of the v4.. it's bench 4x a week.. S 3x.. DL 2x plus accessories and ab work.. to me it's a lot of volume lol.. since i started it, bench and dl had not felt good.. also started the program doing low bar squats but switched back to high bar week 8 b/c low bar just feels so uncomfortable on my back + the elbow pain it gave me affected my bench.. testing 1rm next Saturday.. currently not confident my numbers will go up much but we'll see..
@@MrJbedo +20 pounds on squat/dl.. just +5 pounds on bench which was smooth.. added 10 more and failed, dropped 5 but failed again lol.. 1st day today running it back 1 more time after a deload last week.. switching some things around this time.. also going to follow rpe better and stick with low bar squats all the way thru..
hey I'm also running v4 and im on my 2nd week. I was wondering if you made any adjustments to the programmed weights for each lift. i used estimated 1rm's for my starting so percentages may be off, but did you adjust the programmed weight percentages at all during your program? I feel like it's a little too easy rn, even with the rpe being pretty low to beging.
He doesn't show it, but there are three sections that ask you to rate your technique, ability to recover from high intensity, and ability to recover from volume on a scale of 1-3 with respect to squat, bench press, and deadlift.
Confused abit not on the exercises. But it starts on week 1 fhen when you finsh it goes to week 4. I am assuming that I have stay on week 1 for 2 more weeks. Then i go to the 4 Fourth week and after it goes on to week 7. So I do 2 more weeks on week 4 then week 7?. Im assuming cause it jumps from week 1 to week 4 to week 7 then to week 10.
@@songsforpantstowearl Let me go on record and say that the program in the video has a decent taper. But, if you want something that's purpose made to be a taper, then candito's 6 week peak is good. The modified version makes the bench mirror squats so it will actually have improvement.
Insane volume tbh. It's weird to me that powerlifting programs seem to be a race to blasting volume, when most lifters with coaches train with fairly moderate volume. You dont really see anyone doing 4x bench with 4 x 9 on one day, 4 x 6 on the other, 4 x 10 DB work on another day, etc. Every single bench day is a volume day. Just seems kinda crazy to me.
This is week 1 of the program, usually the beginning of a program is meant to accumulate volume as a foundation. I’m guessing that it eventually tapers as the weeks go on.
@@skeybell I've bought the whole program and its equal volume for nearly the entire thing. Even deload weeks are just intensity deloads with still high set counts. It's an interesting approach, but way way too much imo.
A lot of bench volume is usually ok because bench is one of those lifts that tend to work better with a lot of volume for most people, however the lack of high intensity top sets for bench in this program is kind of bad, I am one of those people that if I don't hit heavy top sets frequently I lose confidence when the weight gets too heavy. I have made the most amount of progress with bench by following a DUP style programming, with one heavy strength day, one volume day and one variation day. I do think that frequency is way too high in this program with 3x squats and 2x deadlifts per week, a better balance would be 3x squat/3x bench/1x deadlift or 2x squat/3x bench/2x deadlift.
I'm sure the lifting core is the same for the most part. As in the idea and methodology is the same. But the layout, spreadsheet, and information is just better.
I talk too much lol!

Hello, thanks for great content. Could you review the volume 5 ? thanks
Nice. His program took me from a 400 squat, 315 bench and 550 dl to a 540 squat, 355 bench and 615 DL in six months. It really works well
Are you serious? How much weight did you gain and how long have u been lifting prior
@@Mike-hr4qs I gained about 10 lbs and maybe two-three years on and off
@@machokeospower that’s really impressive progress. I might have to try it out 😂
@@Mike-hr4qs I’d recommend it if you’re serious about powerlifting. It takes a ton of time out of my week.
@@machokeospower not serious about powerlifting just want to get stronger…

Bro has made some gains since the last time i watched a vid
This was a good review keep up the awesome work dawg 💪🏾😎
👍

Preciate the review. Will probably be running this now.
Glad to see you posting!

i know your list of programs review must be very long but if you have time maybe review Alpha destiny novice program, Thanks for great videos !
I most likely will be soon.
Could you possibly do a video on how to start and grow a personal training or strength and conditioning coach career please? Thanks!
I can look into doing that, thanks for the suggestion!
Hey! Do you mind doing a program review of any of the new SSTT programs - especially the Total Specialist by Rondel Hunte?
What is the difference between vol1,2,3,4,5?
I would love to see your review on hybrid performance method powerlifting program
Can you please do more athlean x program reviews? It would mean a lot if you could do Ax1, All American Muscle.
Hello, thanks for great content. Could you review the volume 5 ? thanks
Wish you could review Michael Matthews book as well. Bigger Leaner Stronger :)

Plz make videos on best books on fitness,periodisation, nutrition for beginners...
Could you review jujimufu the builder program. I can’t find any opinions on it so I think it would be a nice video. Thanks.
Could you review The Greyskull LP program, by John Sheaffer please?
Hi, could you review Maps Anabolic Program please? Thanks 🙂
Review vol 5 nxt 🙌
Hey how do you feel about the youtuber Natural Hypertrophy?
and could you look at his gentleman split, its a body part split that he made but its not your stereotypical bro split
And he just lifted 500kg!
Is this program good for hypertrophy ?
Can help a little, but primarily goal is strength.
your opinion on Jeff Nippard's new "The Essentials Program" ? is it any good? can you review it? thank you!
It's in the works!
@@LiftingExplained nice, Looking forward to it!
Dang, bro said numbers are really starting to tank, made one more video and quit 😂. Keep going man
It wasn't that, it was some personal things. I plan to relaunch fairly soon.
What does bench press (varied grip) means? Wider closer?
Yes, how wide or close together your hands are on the bar.
The program specifies one finger width wider or narrower than your usually grip
Is the volume adjusted based on age and the other values?
He doesn't show it, but there are three sections that ask you to rate your technique, ability to recover from high intensity, and ability to recover from volume on a scale of 1-3 with respect to squat, bench press, and deadlift.

Fourth week and after it goes on to week 7. So I do 2 more weeks on week 4 then week 7?.
Im assuming cause it jumps from week 1 to week 4 to week 7 then to week 10.
No, scroll to the right and you’ll see it the rest of the days and weeks
Do Layne Norton's ph3 program
Do you think this program is a good program to peak for a powerlifting meet?
Not for a meet, but its last week has a SBD test day.
@@Jokar97 Ah gotcha. So that leads me to ask you what you think are some of the best powerlifting peaking programs for meet prep?
@@songsforpantstowearl Let me go on record and say that the program in the video has a decent taper. But, if you want something that's purpose made to be a taper, then candito's 6 week peak is good. The modified version makes the bench mirror squats so it will actually have improvement.
Can you review mindpump programs
Do you lose it once the 12 weeks are up?
No, it's yours to keep
review calgary barbel free 16 week?
He deadlifted 500kg recently
What if i miss one day of the week? Should i skip it and move on to the next day or do the skipped day my next workout?
You're probably okay skipping it altogether. Just don't make it a habit.
I just do it the next day tbh
so if im doing rpe i fill my numbers out week by week right?
Yes, the rpe calculator will show you the numbers to use
@@LiftingExplained and what does it mean when it says put in the weights that i do hit do i jus put that in the weight category?
I'm a beginner which workout program do you think I should follow
What are your goals?
@@LiftingExplained a good combination of strength and hypertrophy.
@@rajvirsingh935Just start with a simple 5x5 for the first 6 months or so.
Those biceps though
Better than v3 ?
Honestly can't say, did not look at v3
You look bigger btw

@@DrWNoLs On vol 5 I reduce the rating of handling volume to 1 in both squats and deadlifts. I will die otherwise :)
It's submaximal volume meaning high volume with low RPE which reduces fatigue. With less fatigue you can handle more volume
A lot of bench volume is usually ok because bench is one of those lifts that tend to work better with a lot of volume for most people, however the lack of high intensity top sets for bench in this program is kind of bad, I am one of those people that if I don't hit heavy top sets frequently I lose confidence when the weight gets too heavy.
