who's on Layne Norton's PHAT routine?

[5431]

the hype surrounding this is no joke. my strength gains are better than anything ive experienced before, aesthetics are going up. fuarking amazing. try this routine, you won't regret it.

a question to the people who are saying this routine is really hard for them, that you get really sore, etc.: what were you doing before? I haven't noticed any difference in soreness and I kill it in every workout. I hardly ever get sore nowdays lulz.

[Aesthetical]

Im coming off this routine to change up my workouts. Made incredible gains since march, moving to a body part a day split. Will come back to it when its time to bulk over the winter.

[cds2011]

I agree, I love the volume and having only 1 day off per week. All my lifts are steadily increasing.*

[Trepkos01]

Alot less volume than I use to.

[TreyTrey]

awesome program but after about the 2 month mark i stopped seeing such massive gains, going to change it up for a while and prolly go back on it within a year

[HippoMan]

Link to program pls

[mc-girk]

Just started about 1 month ago, loving it so far

[Octium]

for all you who made noticeable gains were you only working out 1 muscle group per week?

[strongbrah]

Do you guys do the exact exercises that are listed or did you make it your own?

[phoenixr2]

saw best results ever while doing this. suffered (unrelated) injury and fell off. getting back on it ASAP . Great routine and laynes a damn beast.

wtf you talking about? you work all muscle groups like twice a week doing PHAT

Do you guys do the exact exercises that are listed or did you make it your own?

start with the ones that are listed and then if something doesn't feel right change it up to something that you can feel the mind muscle better with

Yeah what he said, everything is done twice


I cut out a few exercises for the first two weeks, as it was quite a bit more volume than I was use to, once my body got adapted to it I added them back

EDIT FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU^^^^ beat me to it

[CptnAwesome]

It's been awesome for me. I've gained 13 pounds in about 7 weeks, and my squats and deadlifts have gone up 40 pounds each.

[Preparation]

3rd week into the program and I'm literally loving every single workout.

[eightpac3]

Do you have to do rack chins? is there an alternative for it?

[Jaycee41]

i do lat pulldowns/seated rows

[GING3R]

Been on it for about 2 months now and LOVE IT!
Typically I'm a hardgainer but I've put on about 6 lbs of lean mass in 8 weeks which I couldn't do to save my life before. Might go to a different routine in a month or so to switch it up again but I will definitely be coming back to this routine.

To add you don't have to follow his set by set...you should switch it up to what fits you best. Most important thing is to keep it simple on heavy days with compound exercises and lower reps.

[CptnAwesome]

I did them for 3-4 weeks and didn't find them to be great for me. I just do wide-grip pullups instead.

[BOYMuscles]

its good for the short term but then youll stall and youll have to deload. eventually the grind will get to you and youll go to other programs to change it up.*

[OpticNerve33]

I've seriously considering doing this program. Has anyone added regular deadlifts to this? I love them, and would like to continue improving on that lift. I know he says to put them on your lower power day as the power movement instead of squats (or alternating between the two)- has this worked for you?*

[Octium]

i mean before you switched to PHAT...........

[Kevintensity]

i want to start this, but all the supersetting would be difficult for me, as the gym is pretty busy and would be hard to have 2 machines occupied at a time

[Twon91]

F'ing love PHAT.
Been on it since May

i do regular deadlifts every month or so because usually i'm too exhausted to do regular deadlifts after heavy squats. i smashed my old rep max by 20 pounds after not deadlifting for 2 months so i would say that you don't necessarily have to deadlift every week to see strength gains

[insatiablebulk]

On week three now and have broken through my previous plateaus. Was doing one body part a week before doing PHAT. Loving it right now. This past week I added deads on my hypertrophy leg day. Wouldn't have enough energy if I do deads on any of the strength days, but find it fits well with hypertrophy leg day for me. I made a few tweaks to the routine like doing bench and adding incline db on strength upper body, and doing weighted pull-ups for my main strength and speed exercise for back. Seems like the speed work is helping for the big three: deads, squats, and bench; they all seem much easier now.

[TastesLikeRoids]

norton is a genius*

[E90LCI]

I tried it and I didn't get sore or feel anything. And I always get sore when I do my own thing.

I am a god among men, PHAT crew bitch
