“Thoughts on the program:

“This is the first program I have ever completed from start to finish in the few years that I have been lifting. I always got burned out or got training A.D.D. and did something else. Not with yours.

“This program was incredible. Not only did it feel great to do a specifically designed program, but it felt great to see my progress as I was doing the program. The gym I worked out in didn’t have a power rack-only a squat rack- so I had to do some McGuyver rigging for rack pulls and pin presses. I wasn’t able to do the Anderson Front squats and had to go light on the floor presses, but all in all, I was able to stick with the program 100%.

“I missed about a week total of workouts due to a couple serious, family emergencies, but I didn’t use that as an excuse to fall off the wagon. I pushed through and loved my results.

“Thanks for such a great program, and I look forward to the sequel.

“David”

5o pounds added to a bench press in 16 weeks?  Not too shabby!

   How many workouts are required per week? What is the approximate workout time per session? I appreciate any information.
