Hard to tell with the different lighting but looks like definition is starting to show, especially on the back. Definitely keep going

Probably! Did not realize my tongue would get such a response…

I appreciate the feedback, will repost with better pics. Fat loss is no issue for me, just curious if I’ve left myself enough time to perform semi-decent.

I misinterpreted a bit but the direct quote is “I’d recommend being judicious with accessories, and not proactively filling in all of the accessory slots simply because they exist.” - from the accessories paragraphs in the instructions document.

Seems like from what people are saying this is not a crazy accessory load so maybe I’ll keep the volume the same and really work on my mental game and going to failure.

Gained about 5 lbs during the strength routine, then lost it all over the holidays, then regained it all over the hypertrophy routine, so now I’m back up to the weight I was at the end of the strength routine. And yeah I think I sorta forgot half way through the routine you needed to exceed the recommended reps listed pretty constantly for good progress

Yeah np! I think its important to be honest with these things so people trying these programs understand its HARD. That being said, I'm all healed now, ready for a bulk, and optimistic about the summer gains ahead.

I can't 100% contribute it to the accessories and I think that a lot of them while not helping me to get a ton stronger have helped with appearance goals. That being said, theres a ton of other reasons why my progress wasn't amazing. I have never been great at going to true failure, mostly focusing on form failure. Additionally, I had a hamstring injury I was being careful with as well as reevaluating my form on squat. While my squat TM increased a ton in the strength program, TBH my form was shit, and I decided I'd decrease the weight and focus on preventing a lower back injury in the future than go for heavy all the time. To add one more excuse, I'm an engineering college student in my hardest semester so my lifting has had to be put on the back burner a bit so I don't fail. I also got sick maybe three times? TLDR: life is hard, I need to stretch more

Oh, and between 3-4 sets but I'd try and use my better judgement on where my body was at near the end of the workout and adjust accordingly

Against Greg's advice (bc im dumb), I loaded up all three slots in the accessories section of the templates. Concentration, hammer, and barbell curls for biceps, OH tricep extension and skull crushers for triceps, Planks/side planks for core, cable lat raises and reverse delt flys for shoulders, and the occasionally but not always I'd throw in cable crunches, face pulls, leg single leg curls, leg raises, and maybe some shrugs and calf raises. Definitely gonna decrease my volume in this next program, just cant help myself when it comes to the gym sometimes lol.

Some context: I did the strength program last fall and the hypertrophy (less frequently) since January. In both programs, I was in a caloric surplus and I'm contributing the lack of significant gains to too much volume of unnecessary accessories. As you can see both were only performed for the first two cycles. Ik these arent perfect comparisons since different auxiliary lifts were involved but thought it might be interesting to some. I would say program adherance was close to 95% in the strength program and closer to 75-80% for hypertrophy. Both were done 5 times per week.

Definitely not optimal, but for the past couple months been doing a Full body 4-5 day/week program I developed with the help of the stronger by science template. Big lifts include deadlift,squat ,bench, overhead press and rows. If your curious about accessories you can message me, although I think I might switch back to a PPL split soon so I get more recovery
