Well, its a good transition from beginner to intermetiate and all the way to advance lifters. And its a good power and hypertrophy hybrid training style.

Its all about whether you can stick to the program and track your progression, And ofcourse, your diet in check.

Squat and deadlift on the same day is the only thing I don't like about it.

this more or less like candito linear progress strength/hyperthrophy program BUT d major different is this 1 r more towards hyperthrophy.... look at d volume...

m more concern on how would d progression like.

OR you can try Power Hypertrophy Adaptive Training (PHAT) by Dr. Layne Norton. 5 times a week training, separate Power day and Hypertrophy Day.

You can read more HERE.

I did PHAT. PHUL & PHAT are quite similar in a way.

Please stick to PHUL for at least 6 months to see gainz. Not just 3 months or lesser

To progress on the lifts, if you are able to bench 100kg x 5 on power days with ease, then increase weight.

During next session if you only manage 105kg x 3, then continue to work it till you can do 105kg x 5. If you succeed, increase weight again.

I did PHAT for about a year and now switched to PPL. I started with ASBR. The progress was fking slow. The fixed progression sucks.

It's just a template. You can always mix it up.What I did was replaced it with barbell bench press for power days. Then on hypertrophy days, I would switch around barbell/dumbbells.

Personally, if I were to do 3 sets instead of 4, I would lift heavier or more reps

I always do 5x5 for my compound movements (power days).

I'm doing almost similar routine, focusing on the 4 major lifts so 4 workouts per week/upper lower body split..5/3/1 Wendler, boring but big sets variant

I'm on the 3rd Cycle now, each cycle got 3 training weeks + 1 week deload.

I'm trying to understand deeper how it works and in the midst of reading Jim Wendler's first book and later plan to read Beyond 531 Wendler..

I SWEAR by it..my numbers are improving across the major lifts..

3 sets of warm-up, 3 sets of work sets and and finished by boring but bit sets 5 sets of 10 reps at 50% of your 1RM..so total includingwarmups are like 11 sets..and complement with other accessories BB lifts.

your work sets are like 80-90% of your 1RM...and the last work set/3rd set you give all out..see how far you can go...

On the other thread, I bitched about how I could BP only 80kgx2, now I can do 80kgx9, 85kgx6...strict military press from 40kg..now I can do reps at 4RM = 65kg with ease..squat 6RM 100kg

tested real 1RM before 531 Wendler, BP95kg, MP70KG, DL140kg, SQ110kg and now my calculated/theoretically 1RM is BP104kg, MP74KG, DL158kg, SQ120kg

target 12cycles/1year is BP157kg, MP128KG, DL198kg, SQ169kg but no way I could achieve the targeted BP and MP numbers lol - can always take a step back and regenerate routine if stalling

I think the BBBS really stimulated by muscle growth..using Five3One Pro Sarasoft app..

You mean the overall program or my progress?
