why is this subpar program held in such high regard? I still

Fact of the matter is you get more results based on other factors like rest and stress than program minutiae

It like pretty much every other program works as long as A) you're not a GDE and B) you eat a lot and sleep a lot. If you don't do those things then no strength training program will work.
It also gives you a lot more available volume to do sports specific training/cardio/pursue other things in life than many other programs.

the popularity is just due to the weight of T-Nation marketing behind it *sips Plazma*

If you double the frequency but not the AMRAP heavy sets it's pretty fucking boss tier program. Unless you dislike autoregulation, then ignore it completely. I just find AMRAP and jokers manage fatigue very well. If you're an intermediate you should do a N-suns iteration with weekly progress, not the original one with monthly progress
