You will hate yourself on diddy days, but it's a good hypertrophy program
Colton Gray
Im doing it atm, progress for the last 7 weeks:
BP 125kg -> 130kg
OHP 63kg -> 72.5kg
SQ 140kg -> 165kg
DL 190kg -> 215kg
Jaxson Walker
Im too autistic to do those numbers
>cant stand odd number sets
But the idea of decreasing reps as weight increases does work. Put 20 lbs on my max bench in like 2 weeks lol
Logan Miller
Good and simple program to gain mass. Although it's hard to prioritize any body part in case something is lagging.
Zachary Ward
would you recommend bbb over phul?
Mason Martin
I'm having a weird experience with it 4 months in. I've definitely gotten bigger, but I've lost strength. Weight I used to have an easy time doing 2-3 reps with I now have to go all out for a single. I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong. If not for the fact that I've been gaining mass and weight I'd attribute it to not eating enough, and I get at least 7½ hours of sleep every night, usually 8+.
That said, I really like doing the program.
Andrew Thompson
It's shit
Awful advice I'm sure you're small and weak as fuck
Jayden Morgan
switched from BBB to FSL after 4 cycles of BBB. Any pros/cons of both programs?
Christopher Young
Wyatt Peterson
I actually love push/pull split cause it is focused bit more on upper body. PHUL and BBB are both good, it's kinda personal reference. I would integrate 531 progression on main lifts at PHUL over BBB cause my lats are small.

just pull 3-4 times a week after your bench and shit, with your deadlift day more back focused

I think fsl with 50 sets is a good combo. I tried doing bbb and the weight for the volume sets was just to easy. Even after heavy jokers it wasn’t challenging enough.
Josiah Sanchez
Simple. You're a vagina
Carter Edwards
FSL master race here. I do 100 push reps and 100 pull reps after FSL. 50 of each are for bicep and triceps isolations though.
Evan Hall
This, I kinda thought 5/3/1 even with bbb didn’t have enough pulling. I though bench/ohp/dead days should include 5x8-12 sets of whatever pull exercises you want to incorporate.
Something like:
Bench:
Working sets
Jokers
Fsl 50 reps totals
5xamrap weighted pull-ups
Ohp:
Working sets
Jokers
Fsl 50 sets total
5x8-12 of barbell rows
Deads
Working sets
Jokers
5x8-12 of lat pulldowns
I don’t think the volume for deads is necessary especially if you are doing lowbar squats but that’s just my opinion.
Hudson Price
Do you do those 100 sets after every workout or just on bench/ohp days?
Camden Clark
On bench days I will do 5x10 of some kind of row, then 5x10 for a bicep and a tricep exercise. On OHP day I’ll do 5x10 of pull ups and then the 5x10 of biceps and triceps.
Mason Ortiz
Ahhhhh ok ok I understand now. Thanks for the reply. Enjoy your gainz.
Carter Foster
No problem friend. Good luck out there
