I usually finish Pool Season lifts in 45-50 mins. Big Pump Friday will take longer depending on your rest times but thats just 1x per week
Agreed. All my friends who were on Whoop have switched to Garmin and never regretted it. One time purchase not a monthly subscription and get all the same data

re: Stubborn groin strain

I tweaked my groin playing football in college. I swear one of the best things for this to me was lay on your back and put your feet flat on a wall with your legs at 90 degress. Place a small medicine ball in between your knees and hold that light squeeze ISO for a 2-3 mins. Did a few rounds of this a day on top of other light PT and the blood flow and activation really helped

Yall inspired me to start DB Strength 2. I've never ran any of his DB programs been too married to the barbell but man, Day 1 is the most i've sweated during a lift in a long time. I've been sleeping on these programs for sure

Look at Will Ratelle Hoss Programs on Train Heroic or his website. He does mainly upper/lower splits lot of compound lifts and also plyos/olympic lifts. You can skip that explosive work if you don't want to train like an athlete anymore

Same man! I also love the Thursdays. Tons of upper back/trap work mixed in with lots of back squats. Always get a great full body pump

I do not think a single PPSA program has any calve work tbh
Earth Fed Muscle is expensive but insanely good. We put it in oatmeal, yogurt, shakes, etc. mixes great and very clean ingredients

Pulled an audible and decided to run Pool Season 2 for the month of May. Man these OG programs are tough to beat

Hard to pass the OG Arm farm lol but this new Summer Stacked looks great I just looked through the whole plan. Good strength progressions lots of exercise variety and less "junk" volume compared to some of the other PPL programs IMO!
Looks like Summer Stacked II just dropped this weekend. Went ahead and purchased. Not going to lie I am not a big fan of PPL bodybuilding type splits but they are super popular obviously. Going to run this the next 4-6 weeks to switch it up

I've never had that long off, but when I took 2 full weeks off from the gym after a newborn I honestly felt just as strong on my old maxes your body probably appreciated the rest. With that said being a full month off I'd maybe work off an 85% TM for a week and see how that feels and go up if its moving quick.
You may enjoy Hoss Concurrent by Will Ratelle. Former CFB/NFL guy. Heavy focus on commpound lifts similar to PPSA but he adds plylos and sprints. Also has option with Olympic lifts if you want something more athletic.

Really hoping we get a Sports Strenght Pt 2 at some point, this time of year I always want to start a more athletic type of program with some sprints/jumps. The first one was really solid.

Arm fam and pump city I usually finish pretty quickly. I remember the OG brickhouse being a little shorter most days but its supposed to be a 5 day full body split so thats the tradeoff

Curious why you haven't been buying the new programs? Have enough of PPSA in the stash already?

Will Ratelle Hoss Programs

Posted by biggles1883 on 3/16/26 at 12:42 pm
Anyone ever ran Will Ratelle's Hoss programs? He's a great follow on IG. Looks like mainly focused on intense compound lifts and very little accessory work but he has insane physique. Interested in purchasing but wanted to see if anyone has experience with them first?

Has anyone ran the New Stacked & Jacked Program yet?

Thoughts on STAGM? I bought this plan last year but still haven't ran it
