FAQs
Can I do this program in a commercial gym?
Yes! This program was designed for a commercial gym, however it can be done at Crossfit gym's as well with some small substitutions for equipment!
Are all 5 days necessary?
Nope! The 5th day is a second squat day, which is optional for those who do not need it!
What if I don't have the equipment required?
Well, you ABSOLUTELY need the barbell and weights, but the rest is completely modifiable! You'll get info on how to make modify, as well as have access to me to ask any further questions!
Will this program peak for a meet?
This program DOES have a 1RM test, however it is still a bodybuilding program as well. I would not suggest using this to peak for a meet, but you wont have bad results if you do.
