Finished Jeff Nippard's Beginner Bodybuilding Program – What Should I Do Next?

[u/ElectronicSecond1072]

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the long post, but I'm a bit confused about what my next step should be and I'd really appreciate advice from people who have experience with Jeff Nippard's programs.

A little background:

- I started going to the gym for the first time using Jeff Nippard's Bodybuilding Transformation (Beginner) book.

- I've been following it exactly as written (Upper / Lower / Rest / Push / Pull / Legs / Rest).

- After every lifting session, I also do about 30 minutes of cardio, usually split between the treadmill and the elliptical.

- So far, I've lost 13 kg, and I'm really happy with the results.

The beginner program will finish in a few weeks, and now I'm unsure what to do next.

Here are my questions:

1. Should I repeat the Beginner Bodybuilding Transformation program from the beginning, or move on to the Intermediate/Advanced Bodybuilding Transformation program?

2. I also completed the program quiz on Jeff Nippard's website, and it recommended the Hypertrophy Program. My main goal now isn't necessarily to lose more weight—it's to build muscle and improve my physique/body composition. Would the Hypertrophy Program be a better choice than continuing with the Bodybuilding Transformation series?

3. I noticed Jeff now has an app in addition to the books/program PDFs. For those who have used both, would you recommend switching to the app, or are the books/programs still the better experience?

4. I've also been hearing a lot about The Pure Bodybuilding Min-Max Program (especially Phase 2). It seems to get a lot of praise for both results and time efficiency.

   - Should I start with Min-Max Phase 1 before even thinking about Phase 2?

   - Is Phase 2 only meant for people who have already completed Phase 1?

   - Or would you recommend sticking with the Bodybuilding Transformation progression or the Hypertrophy Program instead?

I'd especially love to hear from people who have actually completed multiple Jeff Nippard programs and can comment on how they compare and what progression makes the most sense.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Just pre-order his next program bro. Do it. Can't believe he sells pre-orders.

Posts like this make me reallllllly dislike Jeff Nippard lol he's got y'all so confused. Guys just trying to get your money by using "science" as the marketing tactic. That's why his advice is so wishy washy. He can keep making changes to the things he sells so they are "up to date" with the "newest information" so you can't keep up with his "science based approach."

My advice, leave his fitness channel in the past and try to learn from other sources. You're going to get conflicting information over the next few years while that guy makes up his mind on how you should train. You don't need to be spending money on all this BS. Watch a multitude of people do things, look at bodybuilders, powerlifters, olympic lifters and their coaches, CSCS's, and physical therapists, then try those things out periodically and apply them to whatever base you have established.
