Strength-wise nothing
Hypertrophy-wise decent, but sub-par to a UL
Conditioning-wise pretty good, but seems pointless to be doing a weightlifting routine for conditioning instead of doing conditioning at the end of an actual strength program.
Also, those are some pretty shitty numbers for 4 years, I can do more for OHP at 3 months as a skelly.

They are, I've been lifting on/off and did a shit load of conditioning before. So I guess it's normal that I can't add weight? I feel I just stalled and I am still very exhausted at the end of the workout, no conditioning gains at all

then why aren't you just doing ss instead you dummy?

Because the coach that helps me with my program is the one that will evaluate me in the physical exam for the fire department. He created the tests and knows what I need to improve because of the hundreds of candidates that failed the test. Unless the workout is just a steaming pile of shit?

The program you described is absolute garbage senpai

How so? It will not help me, at all? This is the 1st phase, 2nd phase there will be squats, cleans and deadlifts
as a firefighter, what physical exam? Instead of this pathetically light weight circuit junk, read the sticky. Starting Strength and weighted stair climbing will be a hundred times more effective at preparing you for this line of work.

It's for a big fire department, the exam will be in November 2018. I am also a part time firefighter in a small town and around once a week, I do a big circuit with SCBA and bunker like stairclimbing with 3" hose pack, thrusters with dumbbells, farmer walks, sledgehammer work, fire flipping...I am not that big for this kund of job, 24 y/o 5'9 160lbs. I often compare myself with the other guys and I feel dwarfed and weak. I tried a shit load of programs but I said fuck it I'll pay someone that knows his stuff
Final bump
