Strong and jacked.
Strong and jacked, no contradiction. The bridge between barbell strength and physique work.
The shop’s center of gravity. Two flagship programs in this section, plus two more that surface here secondarily. If you’re already running barbell programs and want to add real size without giving up the lifts, start here.
Power-Building.
The KSC Method for Power Building
Perhaps my favorite program. While it’s biased towards hypertrophy training, this program is fantastic for strength gains as well. If you are looking for how to follow my “8-5-2” protocol, it’s in this program. Stocked full of practical information on how to train for size & strength.
The Baker Barbell 4-Day Power-Building Program
Four-day power-building split built around the bench, squat, overhead press, and deadlift. Uses your 8-5-2 method on the main lifts, with a full bodybuilding-accessory template on top.
Also here.
Both written for an over-40 audience first but read cleanly as power-building programs.
Strength & Mass After 40
This was the first actual template I released. I did so after getting some fantastic results with several private clients who were 40+ and looking to continue to get stronger while “getting jacked.” It’s still one of my most popular programs. This program follows a “5-3-1” approach to the main lifts. However, many clients wind up switching that up to an “8-5-2” approach after several cycles.
The Busy Dad Strength & Muscle-Building Program
Six short, focused sessions a week, designed to be done in thirty minutes or less. Strong, jacked, and fit on a real-job schedule.
Want size without the strength focus?
See Hypertrophy →Want strength without the bodybuilding work?
See Strength →Looking for the conjugate track?
That’s in the Baker Barbell Club, not the catalog. In Andy’s own words:
“If you’re interested in the Conjugate Method or “Westside” programming, this is for you. A 4-day per week program focusing on the Max Effort Method, the Dynamic Effort Method, and the Repetition Effort Method. If you like to train heavy, train explosively, and get JACKED, this program is for you. Designed for the raw lifter.”Join the Club →
