"The coaches are all great and give timely feedback to videos. Since lifting is so intricate, it’s easy to get caught up in the 17473 things we need to fix, but I think the coaches are great on honing in on working on select pieces at a time. I can’t wait to continue to learn and grow with this team!"

"The 3-day program gives me enough flexibility throughout the week to balance my weightlifting sessions with work and life. I have seen amazing progress in strength and technique with this program. I’m glad to have found an excellent program with such flexibility and communication with the coach."

"Before P&G, I was aware of "tonnage," but there is so much more, and it's pretty cool to know that there is a scientific and systematic way that my programming is created. In other words, none of the programming is random. Even the accessories are carefully selected."

verified-athlete-avatar Stewart Ragan

Verified Athlete

"As someone who works a very unpredictable schedule, the flexibility yet tenacity of the 3-Day program was perfect for me. I’ve improved remarkably over the last 2 years - adding 10+ kilos to all my lifts. If you’re schedule conscious, but still want to make some good gains, you can’t go wrong here."
