"5thSet is one of the most engaging, complete, and thoughtfully designed programming books I have ever seen. This guy's the real deal, and so is his program."

— Dave Tate, Founder and CEO of elitefts

“5thSet is absolutely the greatest methodology ever developed. I used it through my entire raw career, which didn’t start until 33 years old, and did things I couldn’t do as a geared world champion in my 20’s.”

— Greg Panora, 7 All-Time World Record holder

“Soon after beginning 5thSet, I earned the nickname "9 for 9 Ellen Stein" due to both my strength and technique improvements as well as Swede's flawless attempt selection formula based on years of data compilation.”

— Ellen Stein, #1 powerlifter on earth by McCulloch, in three divisions, at 69 years old

“5thSet was the best powerlifting training experience I had at any point while competing. I had done meets and peaked under all the "big" known methods, but nothing prepared me in the long run, kept me injury free and recovered, and got me as strong as 5thSet. I trusted in the method completely and it led me further than I imagined. My goal was just to break 1200 as a 165lb. competitor and my last (and best) meet to date under 5thSet was 1267 @ 165.”
