so far on my log i can say i have definitely benefitted from some of these new lifts for me.....new pr'S and just a different approach to lifting.

with clear muscle i haven't felt anything negative yet..i know everyone responds different and I'm not as extreme as the test subjects but i am definitely benefitting.

lifts have gone up...i feel i have gained size in my back....chest shoulders and triceps feel full and i feel good.

i have noticed my recovery is what is improving the most...this program really pushes you to some new limits and I'm recovering a lot better.
