    If it's a big change up from the normal routine, it would be good for shocking the muscles. It's at least intermediate level though (supersetting triples on bench and row) so despite the basic nature, not really a basic or beginner routine.

    Most of the success would come from the shock value, just doing 3 squat days (at the same weight and only 5 total sets) wouldn't be enough to produce dramatic gains in squat numbers. To be fair, I was just reading about the Smolov cycle so I may be biased =P

    What are your goals? And/or the alleged goals of this program?

    my boss laid it out for me to bring up size strength and density to my upper body, my legs are good for strength but my upper body is really lacking, bench 240 at 195lbs 6'1 and deadlift 400 or so but squat at least 400, 230 for a set of 20 roughly

    I definitely like the exercise choices and the overall volume for the week. What I'm wondering is A) Why Chest and Back are on the same day? and B) Why the instructions for the squat are so precise?

    On the other hand, I see no reason why it wouldn't help you meet those goals. Good exercises, hit them intensely and you'll grow. If you are liking the routine then that's half of what you need to know about it, the positive attitude and the motivation to lift hard and consistent is what will really get results.

    Also, I wouldn't call a 240 bench lacking, unless you're a powerlifter.

    I would expect different results based on the point i'd be at relative to my strength.If you like the results, keep doing it until you don't like the results anymore. 2 months is a short time to try a program, might as well try it since you are in the experimentation phase.
