It’s a good routine in general. Whether it is good for you depends on whether it gives you the results you want

Been running it since 6 months now. Had previously a couple of months of calisthenics training but diet was shit back then. Here are my 5RM, at current weight ~70kg: Bench: 85kg, OHP: 57.5kg, DL: stopped because of back injury, High Bar Squat: 90 kg (I know it's trash but I couldn't squat for months because of that back injury)

My physique has changed quite a bit in 6 months, and I'm very satisfied. This is likely beginner gains coupled with a good diet, but a lot of people seem to recommand SL or SS if you're a complete begineer, which might be good at first so you can get used to going to gym regularly. But I know a couple of guys from my gym who look like they don't lift at all after more than a year on those programs. Maybe their diet sucks so who knows.

I made a couple of personal changes from the Reddit PPL but overall you will get stronger on it as you train each main compound 2 times per week. However unlike SL or SS, you also have plenty of volume with it.

Only issue is that sessions can last 90 minutes or more sometimes if your rest times are not short.

So If you can go to the gym everyday, I'll definitely choose that over the"classic"recommendations.

YMMV
