About this program

The Rippler is a 12-week intermediate program by Cody Lefever (GZCL), published on the r/gzcl wiki and in his official app versions. It is the usual next step once GZCLP stops adding weight every session: lifters who still progress well but need a longer, planned wave of intensity instead of session-to-session jumps.

Structure Four days a week, upper/lower, each built on one main lift:

  • Day 1: Bench Press (T1), Incline Bench (T2), Behind-the-Neck Press and Lateral Raise (T3)
  • Day 2: Squat (T1), Stiff Leg Deadlift (T2), Pull Ups and Curls (T3)
  • Day 3: Overhead Press (T1), Close Grip Bench (T2), Incline Bench and Pullover (T3)
  • Day 4: Deadlift (T1), Front Squat (T2), Barbell Row and Rear Delt Fly (T3)

T3 movements are yours to swap for whatever you want to bring up. Keep T2 movements close to their T1 lift.

What the percentages mean Every %TM in this program is a percentage of that movement's own training max, and GZCL sets them differently from most programs:

  • T1 lifts: TM = your current 2-rep max.
  • T2 lifts: TM = your current 5-rep max.

Enter a 2RM as the training max for bench, squat, overhead press and deadlift, and a 5RM for incline bench, stiff leg deadlift, close grip bench and front squat. Don't use a 1RM, or every set will be too heavy.

How the waves work T1 intensity follows a "two up, one down" ripple: up 5%, down 2.5%, repeat, so it climbs from 85% of your 2RM in week 1 to 100% in week 10. Set and rep schemes change every week. T2 climbs in three-week waves (80, 85, 90%, then 82.5, 87.5, 92.5%, and so on) up to 100% of your 5RM. AMRAP sets are marked +; push them, but stop with 1-2 reps in reserve.

T3 work uses a weight you can lift for about 10 reps. Do as many reps as you can on each set, leaving 1-2 in the tank, and raise the weight modestly when your reps outgrow it. The number of T3 sets drops from 5 to 2 as the main lifts get heavier.

Peaking and testing Week 11 drops T2 and T3 entirely and keeps heavy T1 doubles. Week 12 is a 1RM test day for each main lift. Afterwards, set new 2RM and 5RM training maxes and run it again, or move to another GZCL program.
