I wanna thank u guys tremendously for doing this trainer. being a trainer and fitness class instructor I have a lot of knowledge in this fitness life but am not too ignorant to know… u never stop learning and growing. i had lost a lot of strength by training and instructing so much and ur trainer kept me on tract to regain A LOT of it. I didn't miss one day, put most of them on IG, and even in active rest day, well I didn't 😊. I love the gym so much and have new goals to compete in 2017 in PHYSIQUE. this trainer helped surface that goal. in the last two weeks of the program, I would do 6 to 8 sets of whatever was listed…. anyway…I thank u for launching a new fire in me…and truly enjoyed watching u two every morning.. always made me laugh. oh, it also helped my gf and I connect better. we did many days together and now I meal prep for us every week. even started a "Sundays w Shel" meal prep segment on my FB and going up on YouTube this week. thanks a ton guys!

Thank you for the trainer that you have done. Even though I ended up really sick half way through and was not able to complete the trainer. But I am going to start from day one and do it all over again so that I can really see the true results.
I can't wait for the next trainer! Just a suggestion, can you put in recommendations for different ways of doing a movement for people who may not have the same equipment but would like to work those muscles. For example my gym does not have the ropes or the laying down leg curl machine. Just a thought.

The best part of this month long trainer was all of the new exercises that you guys brought to the table. I, and a lot of other people, definitely enjoyed the learning aspect of the trainer, and would love to see more of that.

This will probably be more like a journal entry than a comment lol.
I had taken about ten months off of training, and just did a couple full body works outs before the start of this trainer (two weeks or so.) So I made some strength gains, as of Sunday I put 40 lbs 5×5 on my bench and about 60 lbs for 5×5 squat. I have some "eating disorder" or some such shit so towards the end, I just wasn't eating as much, which negatively affected my recovery. I ended up doing "2 a days" (2 days workouts in one and then continuing on the next day so I could finish the trainer on time)
I train at home and had to make some adjustments when I didn't have equipment, also just did a Squat, Bench, Row 5×5 workout on Sunday instead of maxing out because I don't see the point in maxing every 4 weeks but that's just because I am personally more invested in gaining strength than testing it at this current point in time.
I am going to re-run the trainer, starting literally today, and will be making some changes. Personally, over all, I think there needs to be more squatting!!!
I'll make the adjustments and comment on this one once I do the second run through.
Also, thanks for making that "Try Harder" line. Feels like you made it for me!

Loved the workout! A suggestion for the next trainer instead of testing bench, dead lift, and squat, how about testing cleans, jerk, and snatch?

I was just wondering why you didn't make an "arm day" video trainer? Having said that, I loved this 28 day trainer. You are both the shit.

Since you asked for feedback… first, THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH I loved this past month!! This is the first time I've ever used someone else's programming & I picked yours because I rarely find anyone else who trains at my usual level of volume & frequency, as well as incorporating strength & performance in addition to hypertrophy. And I learned that I love having different stuff all the time while still hitting muscles in the same ways. My own programming never deviated. I rotated exercises but it was a rigid, set rotation that kept repeating & I was really getting in a funk with it. I appreciate your emphasis on compound exercises & also found that I like placing MORE focus on FEWER muscles in a session as opposed to a similar volume but more muscles at a time more often. For whatever reason it feels less daunting to go into a session of 12 shoulder sets as opposed to 12 sets of various shoulder, tricep, & chest.

Now for what I'd suggest changing? [IN HIGH HOPES THAT YOU DO THIS AGAIN!!] I do miss some of my old isolation staples. Well I mean I DON'T miss them but I miss the focused work to those muscles. Especially lower back work like hypers, trap work, & ab work. I think the pattern I'm noticing is, at least for me, while YES those muscles get taxed during compound movements, if it's just static stabilizing contraction like those three (as opposed to clear active movement assistance like biceps & triceps in compounds), it doesn't seem to be enough for me. I have an extremely strong core that's rock-hard when flexed but I don't genetically have any actual shape or size to my abs so I have to hit them directly as hard as other muscles to get them to look like something, & I feel like I've lost some spinal erector thickness without the isolation there.

Also maybe some slightly lower-rep strength sets alternated in like 2-3 reppers? & a couple basic Oly lifting moves like cleans on suitable days like back day? I loved that you included push presses & clean/shoulder db presses, that was my first time with those!

I'm gonna run this one more time after a short deload & maybe add a couple of my old isolations back! & now that I know what my maxes actually are (that was my first time going heavier than doubles) & that they're alot higher than I thought, the 5-rep sets will be more effective with correct percentages, huehuehue

This was great! I've taken a lot from this Trainer and it's helped a lot with training for baseball and with just getting stronger. Amazing work!

watched all 28 days video in one day and wrote down all the workouts. im excited to do the trainer and i just completed day 1. shit burns when doing all these workouts and im pretty sure im going to be sore as fuck.
my only concern that i would love more detail is set/rep count for each exercise. i know you mention on most of the exercises but some are left out on set/rep information. i dont like assuming because assuming makes you an asshole. should i use the standard 4set/10rep for the exercises with no set/rep count?
thank you Dana and Rob for this trainer. half of the exercises are new to me and i love switching up the routine so i dont get bored/same ol' same ol'. also this keeps me from being like "what do i want to workout today?"

Thank y'all very much for the trainer! Just got done with my third cycle doing it and my PR's have gone up every time! A major thing I personally like is how pretty much every week the work outs for a specific muscle group are changed up so it keeps us on our toes (metaphorically speaking). One thing I believe could possibly be improved is take out maybe a double leg/ back workout one or two weeks to where we hit that specific muscle group once a week, and sub it with a double chest/shoulder workout. One reason for that is I was always expecting it every other day to be either back or legs. And although very important (being it's 1/4, and 1/2 your body respectively) it was kind of a de-motivater since it was expected already. Other than that, nearly everything was amazing! Again, thank y'all and looking forward to another one soon!
