I came across this site while comparing several programs in an attempt to determine a more effective and efficient way to build strength and muscle. I'd been working out very inconsistently, was dissatisfied with my results, and wanted something that would help me achieve the following goals in 3-4 months:
- Increase lean body mass to 90% (10% body fat)
- Increase total body strength by 33% - measured by maximum weight of 5 reps with good form on squat, pull down, bench press, and bicep curl
- Keep time in the gym below 2 hours per week
Tall order? You bet.
I'm now 7 weeks into the program, though, and I can say I'm happy with the results so far. With all weight training and fitness programs, mileage varies, and, of course, gains come faster and easier early on in any program. It's just a simple question of diminishing returns as you approach higher and higher levels of fitness. I'm very skeptical of some of the miracle claims on the front page, but if you're meticulous about diet and making sure you get enough calories and protein (I'm not) and don't do any cardio work (I do a little bit), and you have the right body type (easy-gainer), it's not inconceivable to me that you *could* gain 8-12 pounds of muscle in 2 months.
Anyway, I've not had my body fat tested, but I have lost some amount of body fat (6 pack is becoming quite a bit more clearly defined), gained 4 pounds, and my 5-rep maxes have increased by 20-33%, depending on the exercise. Not sure what my current body fat is. Anyway, all this in just three 30-40 minute workouts a week.
Bravo, Bryan (site owner).
