Any program that incrementally adds weight will get you bigger. We have our bias here but the two reasons most programs like that don't work is because A) the lifter is not adding weight and B) the lifter is performing the lifts incorrectly. I followed periodized programs in the past and made strides on my squat, chin-up, and bench press strength because I kept adding weight even when it was scary. Problem is I couldn't get past a certain point because I was performing the lifts incorrectly. Learning these methods allowed me to go much further and I started training more muscles by pressing and deadlifting consistently.
