Is anyone running any of his programs?

My wife and I are running elbow meat. Couldn’t do Squatober due to having a knee scope and delayed recovery due to the hurricane. We had finished The Prequel the day before the hurricane. She preferred that one bc it’s a bit shorter time wise.

I'm curious - how long is each session in Grasshopper intended to take? I'm finding including a 15 minute treadmill warmup before starting its taking around 90 minutes. Does that sound about right, or is that indicative of me taking too long between sets?

I am doing week 1 day 4 for pool season 1 today. This is my first time doing a PPS workout plan. It calls for 200 dumbbell shrugs for “cardio”. Is that one set of 200 or 200 total?

I use Strong. It does everything I need.

Just finished Grasshopper today. Really enjoyed it, and definitely feel like I got stronger and leaner. The inbody scan at my gym is busted so I can’t share much results other than I probably lost 5 solid pounds. If I were to rerun Grasshopper, should I start over from beginning and up the weight (ie go back to 3 days a week) or just do the second half again with upped weight. Or would I be better served doing another one of his programs. I’d like to keep workouts to 4 per week at most at this time. Also an hour long for the workout from start to finish (with 10 minute warmup) is about all I have time for on a given day.
Any suggestions?

So far I have completed Pool Season 2, Dr. Jacked, and Elbow Meat since July 1st. I am currently on day 3 of pump city.. I have dropped from 210 to 199 at 6’ over 3 months (no dieting just a few less pizzas and not much fast food) while increasing on my lift max by 5-10 lbs per month for each lift (ex: bench every day max from 260 to 280 over 3 months). I did not have a serious workout plan for about a couple of years though. Prior to this I would do hypertrophy 5 day splits a few weeks on and off. I say the printed and set plan helps me stay motivated and on schedule. I cannot recommend these plans more.
What I did like so far about these workout is they tend to have a shrug, rear felt raise, face pull or some other trap/rear felt exercise in every workout. This is something I feel is lacking in most workout plans.
Elbow meat - The first week my wrists joints were sore from the 90 degree twists, but by the end of the program my forearms are definitely stronger and “meatier”.

I ran Grasshopper followed by arm farm, and saw great results. Definitely increased strength and packed on a few pounds of muscle and lost some fat (at least per an inbody scan). I decided to rerun grasshopper and managed to pull my lower back slightly doing a deadlift. It’s not bad but definitely nagging. I’m not wanting to make it worse so it looks like I’m going to have to put the programs on pause at least for a bit. Does anyone have any recommendations on what to do in the meantime to not lose the progress I’ve made so far?

Just got sports strength for my son. Do you think conditioning after the lifting? That's my assumption

Welp, W1D1 of stacked, jacked, and turning heads just took right at 2 hours. I don’t think I’m gonna be able to stick to the rest times as strictly this program lol

Question about PPSAs Strongville:
When doing the sets with stairs, is it up and down or just up the staircase?

Just starter Strong and Fast AF Yesterday. This is probably the 6-7 program of PPSA I’ve run. One question, the guide says that the sprint warm up should take 20-25 minutes but I ran through Day One’s warm and sprints in like 10 minutes. Is the guide just off or am I missing something?

Welp went back to doing a regular bro split for 2-3 weeks after doing PPSA for 6 months straight and lost all motivation. Needed it back in my life. 2 days into pool season 1. Seems like it’s going to be a fun one

Went back to a normal split after finishing arm farm 6 or so weeks ago. Jumping back in today with Turnt Up which is a 3 day program with alot of volume. Plan is to do the program M/W/F and do abs/cardio/HIT on T/T/S and rest on Sundays. Trying for a more cut/aesthetic build for summer
Just got off a 3 week turnaround at the plant in which I ate like shite the whole time so gotta get back right starting this week
One of the reasons I went back to a normal split was to do full legs days again. However, my knee tendinitis kicked back in because of this. I think full leg days may just be over for me. With PPSA I just leg press in place of squats and my knees do fine since it’s not over working them. I’ll just have to be content with maintaining them this way which is fine, just going to miss having those Jean hugging quads from intense leg days
