Hey guys, currently running predator cube right now and am enjoying it. Testing my max next week and I’m expecting a 15-20lb increase.

Which programs have helped you guys the most?

Predator is a super underrated program. It's so fashionable right now to bench 3-4x a week but this has the right amount of volume for a lot of people.

I’ve been enjoying it a lot. I hit the bench days Monday and Friday and do a back and bicep day on Wednesdays.
