Just finished my first week of 1000% awesome after 12 weeks of GZCL Jacked and Tanned 2.0. Saw massive increases in deadlift and bench last cycle, squat still lagging and OHP stagnated a bit.

Current RMs (kg)

DL: 190x2

Squat: 162.5x1

OHP: 60x2

Bench: 117.5x1

Those that run a 5/3/1 (or any other program) how is it going?

Cheers!

I've run BBB and Building the Monolith in the past. I'd say both are great with getting volume in on bigger movements but I'm running Jacked and Tanned 2.0 right now and have to say I'd choose this over any of volume based 5/3/1 programs

I definitely agree on J&t 2 superiority, I only switched back to 5/3/1 as I'm shorter on time now being a father. Other programs definitely outshine 5/3/1 but the simplicity will always be an attractive factor for me.
