I got this book for Christmas, and just finished reading it. I'm going to wait to actually do the workout plan until I get to College (I'm a senior in high school). Since currently I don't have even close to the equipment necessary to do the workouts.
Anyways, has anyone read this? Or more importantly done the program, and if so what kind've results did you see. [/img]
Good to hear, I've read most of it twice now. I'm pretty sure I've nearly memorized the nutrition section. So far I've simply been trying to start workouts with the warm-ups.
Equipment-Wise I'm lacking a whole lot. If I was a little closer I might try and do replacement lifts to make up for what I can't do, but I figured I'd just wait until I get to college since I'll need something to keep me motivated when I get to school, and both the Colleges I'm looking at have really nice facilities.
In particular I'm missing the squat box, resistance bands, foam roller (hoping to get one over the next few weeks), wrist straps, chalk, cable pulley station, and heavy dumbells.
Alright, thx. I'd inevitably need heavier weights at some point anyways so I might as well pick up sooner than later. I'm low on cash as of now, but if that's all I really need (along with the foam roller) I could probably start it fairly soon.
Just finished the 8th week of the program, had to test out as required by gym class. Otherwise I would've waited until the 16th week was done, anyways I had some tremendous improvements and would suggest the book + program to anyone.
Squat: 1 RM Before - 335, 1 RM After - 455
Deadlift: 1 RM Before - 335, 1 RM After - 415
Bench: 1 RM Before - 255, 1 RM After - 265
3 RM Pull-Up: Before - 35 + Body, After - 60 + Body
I can't say I followed the program as strictly as I should've or would've liked to simply because I only had 30-40 minutes a day to lift, and the workouts typically take just over 45 minutes to complete.
