Program Overview

Why This Program Works

Philosophy

Push & Pull, Legs, Upper Body, and two differently-composed second Push/Pull and Legs sessions.

Physique Goal

Lean and durable, built entirely through bodyweight effort.

Performance Goal

Real high-volume pulling strength (Garou's real signature) and genuine leg power.

How Progression Works

Rep progression within each phase, then a harder variant the next phase (assisted pull-up to chin-up to pull-up). Target RIR drops from 3 to 2 to 1 across the three phases.

Training Philosophy

How Garou Trains

Garou is entirely self-taught — real strength built through relentless, unconventional bodyweight training rather than a formal system. This program keeps that identity: high-volume pulling work, real leg strength, and a genuinely progressive three-phase build.
