Anyone else using "The Journey"

Stumbled across this through Omar Isuf's youtube channel and switched to its Intermediate program and am loving it.

Brief history- About 2 years ago I got tired of being chubby and weak and started 5x5. Lost some weight, gained some muscle, switched to 5/3/1, promptly hurt myself on ice in the winter. Gained some weight, got frustrated, found this program, rebabbed leg, started loving lifting again.

The full name is "The Complete Strength Training Guide for Beginning, Intermediate & Advanced Lifters." Or, The Journey for short. (I am in no way affiliated with Omar, Greg, or strengtheory, just a dude who likes the program)

Just wondering if anyone else was using it and where you were at it with it and your thoughts.

As I said, I'm using the intermediate level, and started with option 4. This is my 3rd week on the program so there is a bit of honeymoon period going on, but I really like it. Its straightforward, you do the 4 big lifts each week, but there's a lot of accessory & auxiliary work to keep things from being the same.

I didn't do their beginner progression, though it looks very nice, and I'm still a year or two away from jumping to the advanced program. Though, honestly, I think someone could continue getting stronger on the intermediate for a long time.

Hopefully someone else is using this, or if not, finds this post useful in finding the right program for them.
