Will Tennyson program

[SteveMcs]

I found Will Tennyson on YouTube who has an interesting looking program.

It's a 4 day split consisting of two days of legs/shoulders/tris and two days of chest/back/bi's.

He has a video on it and it's as folows:

Day 1:
Bench
Neutral grip pull up
Incline db press
Pendlays
DB preacher Curls (optional accessory depending on energy)

Day 2:
Squat
Mil press
RDL
Lat raises
Face pulls

Day 3:
Incline bench
Lat pull down
Floor press
T bar row
Wide grip cable row
Hammer Curls (optional accessory)

Day 4:
Mil press
Hex bar dead lift
One arm db shoulder press
Walking lunges
Leaning Lat raises
Overhead tricep extension

Progression/rep ranges is:
Week 1: 4x10
Week 2: 4x8 (5kg increase)
Week 3: 5x5 (5kg increase)
Week 4: repeat week 1 with 2.5 to 5kg increase compared to week 1

I like the look of it, each muscle group hit twice a week, good progression, mixture of high rep and low rep etc. It is clearly working for will!

I reckon I'll run it for a couple weeks and see how I get on..

What do you guys think?

pretty unbalanced program, good luck with shoulder health pressing 4 times a week.

I dont think anyone here has ever heard of Will Tennyson.

I get that, he's new to social media, I just stumbled a cross his channel and liked the look of the program.

Got to remember, there was a time when no one knew who Arnie was and his program obviously worked.

(edit: before I get flamed. I am in no way suggesting this guy is going to be the next Arnie. I'm just saying that not knowing his name doesn't make him useless)

If you had Arnold's genetics you most likley will succeed with any program, even a bad one like above.

Trainers who prescribe heavy pressing 4 days a week for beginners are irresponsible, as you will find out if you actually do that program.

I've been doing this routine, seeing some gains and the key is, as with all weight training, going at the right pace with overload that's best for you. That helps avoid injury too.

It's a lot less crap than I was expecting.

It has some periodidation, it's not obscene junk volume. It's already ahead of 90% of rate my split threads. If a litte light on leggys, but it's not a leg skipper setup so, yeah.

I don't buy the concerns about 4days of pressing causing injuries, that just isn't supported by medical data, rehab specialists or experience..bad Acute/chronic workload management is the real issue and this isn't excessive in any real way.

My only comment on the pressing is I'd switch one of the ohps for a variation. Standing, seated, dB, machine ect. As it will improve motor learning, strengthen different grooves and not over use the motor pattern.

Im just not sold on everything being the same rep ranges, 5x5 rear delt flies is just bad. I'd do the single joint stuff in higher ranges. Maybe 15-12-10..

Run it. See how it goes and RECORD YOU TRAINING to look back at and assess how well it worked.

Don't know about his programming pedigree, but his YouTube channel is a hoot.

I just imagined he is another young gymshark clone boy.

Edit.
I looked. I was right.

I literally made an account just to say what a terrible reply this is. You clearly took 1 look at his content and made some dumb judgement. Will’s content (while still staying in the fitness category), is about as far as you could get from the regular boring Gymshark boys. Not to say that’s too hard since you really just need a personality to be better than any of the young, generic “bodybuilders” Gymshark has. But yeah, stupid reply

I wish I could matter in people's lives as much as you do to have the honor of someone making an account just to reply to me.

It’s probably the Will guy getting all pissy you don’t like him.

Even more embarrassing if that's the case given his sub count 😂

[air2fakie]

ITT there are 2 other posters who are the same as OP. Must all be Odifududix alts or something.

[Animal2692]

Oh God. I don't know if I can talk about this here but I looked up Will Tennyson and saw he also lifts with Tristyn Lee. We all know Tristyn is friends with Bradley Martyn and Isaiah Miranda (who just got his test level back at 21ng/dl at 21 yrs. old). I wouldn't trust anything that crew says.
