im not a body builder, im a 50 yr old dedicated recreational lifter and have been my entire adult life. i just finished NROL and i work out hard. so im very confused about the make up of this program. a day at the gym for 50 dips and chin ups? and what is the deal with all the seated calf raises? i thought this was about compound movements and standing instead of sitting?
i may be pre-maturely judgemental but can i please get some feedback from people whi have completed abbh? did you supplement your workouts with additional stuff? coming home tonight felt like a day off. and yes im following the 1RM volumes as scripted.
thank you.

OK. First of all its 10x3 for bench and row, not 8x3. Same for deadlift day. then the next workout its 10x4, than 10x5.
The weight you use should be challenging. If the weights felt light, bump them up a bit foir the next workout. I had to do that.
Re the chinup/dip day, it will kick your ass.Trust me.
I'm almost done with ABBH, I have one workout left which I'm doing tomorrow. I pushed myself the whole time, and ate a good amount. I got great results, I got stronger and bigger.
Good luck, feel free to ask more questions.
EDIT: Almost everybody else who does ABBH gets great results. Plenty of people here have done it.
