”I was absolutely blown away by my results. I never could have achieved such significant strength or muscle gains without Bas and his program. I would 100% recommend it to anyone looking to get stronger, build muscle or stay committed to a fitness routine.
I’ve kept up a regular gym habit for 10+ years but this was the first time I ever stuck to a program. I saw more results in the past 100 days than I had seen in the previous decade. Staying committed to my programming was the key difference.
I still can’t believe I can squat 160kg and deadlift 200kg. My mind is blown.

About
This is a program that I wrote for Matt D’Avella.
He came to me with a goal of entering a powerlifting competition after 100 days of training.
Typically, when someone asks me for a quick result, my first reaction is to educate them on one of my favourite quotes which is “it takes 10 years to become an overnight success”.
What does this quote mean to me? It means to me that in order to achieve a high level of success in any craft, it takes time, and this is the first message that I teach anyone who I work with on their strength development.
But in my experience, people still want to know exactly how much results they can achieve and in how much time, and when Matt presented this challenge to me, I thought, fuck it, lets find out!
So although Matt came to me with a specific powerlifting goal, my approach was to strengthen his body not just for powerlifting, but also to set him up to work towards any training goal that he wanted to pursue after this 100 day challenge

About Matt D'Avella
Matt D’Avella is a documentary filmmaker, content creator and has the biggest biceps of all self-development YouTubers (please don’t fact check that). His documentaries, which have trended on Netflix and have been viewed by over 250 million people on YouTube, explore what it means to live a meaningful life.
While he has held a consistent gym habit since college, he had never received formal training until working with Bas. During the 100 day program Matt achieved impressive gains, nearly doubling his squat from 85kg to 160kg, increasing his bench from 90kg to 115kg, and his hitting an impressive milestone by moving his deadlift from 115kg to an impressive 200kg.
Matt snagged third place in his first-ever competition (or second to last, if you’re not as optimistic as Matt), but what he gained was far more valuable: a genuine passion for the sport and a newfound appreciation for the sheer dedication it takes to build true strength.
