I have been getting great results from these programs

Really enjoy how everything ir really well explained, organized and backed up by science. Jeff does a great job explaining information by highlighting the main points of the workout, is not just a pdf full of words.

One of my greatest Goals in life is to operate based off logic and not pleasure. Everything about this fitness program seems to cater to that ideology. It was very clear early on to me that the Logic Jeff puts into his craft is very hard to counter. Especially listening to allot of both pro and anti science lifting. Most of the time all I hear from who are anti science lifting is saying that it’s BS or that it’s dumb but they don’t have any source and that’s the beauty of science. Is that the only way you can defeat science is with more science which isn’t actually a defeat at all. I’m sure if someone took one of Jeff’s stances and disproved it with more science i don’t see Jeff being mad at all he would happily add that extra source to his data base simply another variable to the equation. All in all I am really enjoying this program even though it is recommended for intermediate to advanced id recommend it to beginners too. So long as they have an extra rep or 2 away from failure as they work there way into it. As well as taking into account what there actual Job is too if it’s manual labor like mine. All i really had to do to adjust this workout for me was train a little further away from failure but also really focus on form so i am not training to failure with bad form so i wouldn’t have any injuries. I also learned a ton of stuff which is really fun. My favorite workout from this program is the Abs cable crunch which gave my abs a huge pump because it was the first time i have ever added weight to an abdominal Exercise. The videos of the individual exercises are what sold me the most on this program

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for reaching out! I’ve been following The Pure Bodybuilding Program for 30 days now using the PDF version, and I’m really enjoying it. The full-body structure is solid—it balances volume, intensity, and frequency in a way that keeps me progressing without burning out. I’ve already noticed improvements in both muscle definition and overall strength.

One thing I really value is how clear and easy the programming is to follow with just the PDF—no app needed. The RPE guidance is especially helpful for managing intensity.

As for feedback, I personally still enjoy doing the big three lifts—bench press (barbell), back squat, and deadlift—and I usually work them in on my arms and weak point days. I find they help activate a wide range of muscle groups and keep me strong in the fundamentals. That said, the program can feel a bit machine-heavy at times, though I understand the focus on isolating muscles for hypertrophy.

Overall, it’s a well-designed and effective program. I’m looking forward to seeing what the next phase brings!

Best,
Joel

This program is fantastic! I wasn’t able to start it immediately because I recently had my gallbladder removed, but since I have started, which was A little less than two months ago, I am down 21 pounds and I'm looking A lot better!

The pure bodybuilding program is a solid routine with excellent, tips and tools to keep the committed athlete on track for success. I read the handbook before getting started, which was very helpful in comprehending Jeff's philosophy on training and provided insights on how to train for the best hypertrophic results. I've been an avid lifter and athlete for nearly 30 years and have worked with many trainers and still learned a significant amount from that one little handbook and Jeff's high quality YouTube channel, specifically the concept of RPE and the importance of focusing on the long length section of the exercise as well as the benefit of machines for hypertrophy. I also really appreciate the short YouTube videos demonstrating proper form, which are imbedded in the Pure bodybuilding workout documentation spreadsheet. The only ding I would give the program is the documentation spreadsheet. Although comprehensive, and good for what it is, I had to convert it from Excel to google sheets in order to use it on my phone during workouts and the amount of information is overwhelming on an iPhone screen. An app, which incorporates all Jeff's programs, reading materials, documentation sheets, YouTube Videos and Marco Factor (which I'm also using) would bring this review to a 5+ star rating.

The program suits me really well, so easily desciribed, user friendly. Challenges me to a new height in my bodybuilding career. Very well designed to suits basically every athletes. Amazing work Jeff 🙌🏽👏🏽

this was so good i gained 2 lb of muscle and got a 225 lb bench
thank u worth the 50 bucks but i wanted a 800 lb bench.

It’s is very good in every aspect, I wish I started this way before!

It’s the perfect PPL.

Already seen progress with myself and I’m always looking forward to my workouts!!!

This program is great, and I've felt it needed an in-depth review;

Some information about where I started: I started with this program as an intermediate lifter. 38 years old, trained for 6 years, most often to failure but recreationally, not on a proper schedule, 3 times a week, with my only principles being doing a controlled eccentric and aiming for a +/- 12 rep set and push to failure. 1.78/71kg, 18% body fat, 105 kg PR on the bench press. Excercise selection was suboptimal, as was my training split and my technique used to be bad in the beginning until I started to focus on the eccentric. Also used to do excessive cardio (6-8 hours of 750+kcal/hr rowing and elliptical a week).

The focus of Jeff's program is on training all the main muscles evenly + adding in optional weak spot emphasis once every split, and aimed at maximum hypertrophy. Which it does... the demonstration videos make it easy to do every excercise with correct technique and every excercise has 2 alternatives for those who lack all the equipment at their gym. It's all focussed on that deep stretch, stability, and setting them up so the target muscle(-group) is isolated as much as possible.

This has one massive advantage apart from being good for maximising muscle growth according to the latest and ever-changing insights in sports physiology;
It makes you get to know how your musculature and skeletal and joint structure is built and how your muscles respond to a decent load in training for a good number of sets per week.

If you do it for a couple of cycles you'll figure out where you recover fast and where your weak points are (not regarding optics but performance and recovery ability and possibly joint and tendon soreness).

If you don't feel sore but cannot get much more weight done for 12 reps without losing technical control or getting tendon or joint soreness? Do 4-5 rather than 3 sets and perhaps lower the weight. If you feel discomfort doing an excercise even if your technique is spot on, pick another option or perhaps alter your posture (kneeling overhead cable curl -> seated overhead cable curl for instance). Also make sure to add more sets or reps rather than weight with any joint discomfort like I did with the skull crusher excercise.

I switched to a better gym where I could do all excercises' preferred option 10 days into the program, and noticed that I could induce soreness in places I couldn't before. Never felt biceps burn as much as with the Bayesian cable curls, or a quad burn as heavy as from hack squats. (it's a shame many gyms don't even have a hack squat or cable stations with horizontal adjustment but that's a different topic)

There are some caveats but they're present in each pre-made training schedule: you might need to tweak the number of reps or even number of sets to suit your body composition. For instance: I had to add volume for arms, and figured out I can handle fatigue well so I just cut the cycle short by a day by doing legs early and arms later on the 3rd day without sacrificing a rest day, but I'm physically built for endurance sports and need more volume to build muscle and feel sore the day after but not much longer, since I quickly recover.

I am now starting my 33rd training session, and train 8-9 times a week rather than 5 or 6, and I feel incredible. Still see improvements in reps per set on a similar basis to when I trained less often, and up the weight around every 2-3 sessions while still keeping as good a technique as possible. My eccentric ranges from 1-3 seconds but is always fully controlled and learned to appreciate that bottom stretch and actually take pride in pushing myself to the point where it starts to ache and I cannot do a full ROM rep anymore.

Regarding range of motion: Jeff's excercises include a variation on range of motion in some of them but they're all designed to be stretch-heavy, load your muscles as well as possible in the max stretched position, and in the case of cable excercises fiddling about with the positioning of the pulleys allows you to take a posture that is comfortable and stable.

Even from my lifelong human biology/physiology interest I find this training program interesting and after checking 500+ hours of videos from sports physiology PhD's like Mike Israetel, Milo Wolf, Menno Henselmans and Eric Helms, this training schedule seems to almost seamlessly adhere to the findings of the major sports physiologists who are also advanced lifters themselves.

This program is science-based, feels good to perform, and allows the necessary amount of personal adjustments because it's so good at training muscle groups in isolation and finding out what works for you on a detailed basis.

10/10, would recommend it to any aspiring bodybuilder and health enthousiast.

Insane value for the price! Well thought out program. Highly recommend!!

Starting the program, I saw an immediate change to my workouts that just felt right. The past couple weeks have given me some really great results, not all of them being very visual just yet, but a huge improvement in how my workouts feel. The pumps have been consistent, and the movements are simple enough to max out the intensity while also challenging myself to make strides in new PR weights and higher rep counts.
Can’t wait to see the final result at the end of the program.

Great workout program.

If you are looking for intermediate-advanced bodybuilding program well keep looking! The information and program it self seems like something thrown together. There is no individualization.

I like this program a lot. I’m 30 days into it and feel so pumped up. The only thing I’m lacking a bit is legs. I would like this program to emphasis legs more but it’s just a matter of preferences. I would say, it worth trying, and I personally found it very useful.

The workout plan is great. I was looking for a 3–4 day split because, at my age, a PPL routine is just too much and harder to recover from. This 4-day plan lets me train each muscle group effectively while still giving me enough time to recover. I really love it.

This program gives you everything you need to succeed! If I weren’t in my own way I’d probably be jacked lol BUT that being said even being 80% consistent I have seen improvements in my physique and overall strength. Worth it
