Twelve action-packed weeks stuffed with cardio and lifting, 84 workouts, absolutely no rest days, and a promise of an aesthetic lean physique three months down the line (well, if you survive).

What do you say? You in?

The so-called “Mass with Class,” Lee Labrada, spawned that exact program almost a decade ago in the form of Lean Body 12-Week Trainer on Bodybuilding.com’s BodyFit platform.

But before you leave the next three months of training in the former Mr. Universe’s hands, read this program review first!

Let’s face it.

The only “shortcuts” to bulking up and shredding fat are unsafe, unsustainable, or flat-out illegal.

So when Jim Stoppani—a health consultant to the stars with a doctorate in exercise physiology to his name—began flaunting a program called “6-Week Shortcut to Shred”…

That was a bit of a head-scratcher.

But we’re going to give him the benefit of the doubt.

After all, he does have a solid reputation in the fitness community, and this 6-week program is quite grueling, to say the least.

So let’s jump right in and find out more about this program.

Steve Cook’s Modern Physique Workout Plan won’t sculpt your stereotypical “modern” build. But that’s probably for the best — 42.5% of Americans are obese … and dad bods are trending.

The so-called “Swoldier” claims his own training regimen inspired this eight-week intermediate program. So does the routine unlock the classic, defined, symmetrical Greek God physique?
