Overall Thoughts
I was extremely happy with the outcomes of this program. I upped my squat by about 50 pounds over 3 months. That is an insane progression. I also added about 20 pounds on my bench, which is excellent. Unfortunately, my deadlift did not increase on this training program. I felt that there was not sufficient deadlift volume in the program to really force adaptation. I strongly recommend this program for anyone wanting to prep for their first powerlifting meet, or someone transitioning from beginner to intermediate lifting.
Whats Next
I am now transitioning to a customized RPE program designed by my powerlifting coach. Its based on a few different programs, but has me lifting to failure with safe weights on a regular basis, with a heavy emphasis on deadlift and related accessories.
