  • DGH94's transformation
    - DGH94

    This is the most effective program on Bodybuilding.com! I did it last summer and broke the 1000-pound club. I did it again this summer and brought my total to 1,125 pounds. This program is a lot of work, but the results are definitely worth it!

  • Fuentesnj's transformation
    - Fuentesnj

    Just finished this program and all I can say is wow! I am now the strongest I have ever been in my life. My squat went from 345 to 455 pounds, my bench went from 265 to 335 pounds, and my deadlift went from 260 to 355 pounds. The calculators and systematic approach is very effective. Thanks Layne!

  • KiNGDuBBz's transformation
