Looking for advice, feedback, maybe a new program.

Has anyone here ran anything from Hybrid Performance Method?

I haven’t, but I heard great things about what stefi does... John Haack runs their programming, if that matters. They have a lot of really great athletes.

John Haack is an absolute unit. So is Stefi as well though. Him and Jessie Norris were absolute savages at 181 and 198 weight class. It is amazing to see someone total that much weight under 200 lbs.

The reason why I was interested in it was because of how they supposedly merge powerlifting and body sculpting together in a more power building style but I refer back to Dr. Israetel where he says to pick one or the other because you won’t get optimal results.

I do have to say though when you see some of the athletes at hybrid performance their ascetics are on point.

I didn’t know Haack had anything to do with Hybrid. He trains out of So Cal powerlifting

By the way, Ben Pollack has just released a sample program based on that "hybridization" of the two training schools, high intensity doggcrapp like and high volume meadowsy like. "Mountains of doggcrapp" lol

Yeah he does. But he’s also sponsored by them, it’s only been like 3 months tho...I believe he mentioned it in an IG story a few months back.

-Just looked tho. He only uses their nutritional programming. I thought he used all of their programming.

The volume of the juggernaut powerbuilding program is insane. I am a big fan of juggernaut but that's one thing I don't think I could really recommend. Some of the training sessions probably aren't even that feasible unless you have a decent sized gym because everything is a superset. You have to test 0rir on every lift you do... Which, scientifically is a cool idea because you'll be working within ideal hypertrophy ranges but, I can't help but feel it's an over complication. If you don't truly enjoy tracking every single aspect of every single lift, you'll get burnt out fast. Not to mention, the training sessions can easily take +2hrs... And that's even with opting for 5 or 6 day a week programming. I've seen some people taking 3hrs but I feel like they might not be moving fast enough... I honestly have to question the algorithm they're using because the intensity of training is a very common complaint.

I think the powerlifting program they have is better, and you can just tailor it to more of a powerbuilding focus if you want. The hypertrophy blocks are good, and basic. The strength blocks compliment the hypertrophy blocks by encouraging your body to hold onto that new muscle you built.

In either program, you're not going to find a better "coaching" investment... It's like $30 a month, whereas you're looking at a few hundred for most coaches.

Marisa Inda from JTS used to run the powerbuilding club before the juggernaut AI programming was born. I think she still does her own coaching that's just a weekly programming spreadsheet... I was in the PB club and I honestly loved it. It was everything I was looking for in a program and I made some of my best progress on that programming. It also taught me a lot about program design and how to periodize training to get stronger. Might want to check that out. Ben Pollock's template programs are somewhat similar, but I would need to tailor them a bit personally.

I just bought the juggernaut powerbuilding AI program yesterday, waiting on the program itself. Sounds like I should have gone with the powerlifting one lol. Dang it.

Give it a try with an open mind, maybe you'll like it! I'm only one review, I'm sure there are others that like it. By the time you finish your first block you should be able to transition to the app, which should be a different, and potentially improved, setup...
