I did this program for the six weeks at 220 lbs and gained every one of the 30lbs as advertised. I did it "clean" (if thats important to you) with no supplements other than wight gainers and creatine. And milk. lots and lots of milk.
YES you might get tubby. YES your cardio might stink. But if youre trying to GAIN 30lbs, abs and cardio shouldn't be your priorities at this point.
Its not magic, and its not complicated. Do the program AS WRITTEN (gallon of milk a day and eat till it hurts) and SQUAT - for real. Essentially take a weight you can only rep for 10, and gut out 20 instead (progressively adding weight). Thats it. It will work IF you put the work into it. Sounds simple but I still HIGHLY recommend getting the book for the full picture.
If your already a power/Oly lifter or squatting for real, this might be a bit rudimentary for you. But I had never squatted before and this book 100% changed my opinion of the exercise.
I did the program AS WRITTEN and also (strictly) followed the 5/3/1 book (which I also really recommend). Im sure theres plenty of other great (or maybe better) books and programs out there, but if you really want to gain some size and strength, I absolutely recommend this book. (And 5/3/1)
***if you want to know my specific results****
I took my measurements before I started. After doing the program twice in one year I was noticeably bigger in every aspect (arms,legs, glutes, chest, traps/back) by inch or two inches and almost 2 pant sizes. My squat went from a questionable 315 to a strong 415+ (haven't really pushed it yet) and a deadlift of 450 to 515+ easy. (take into account Im doing 5/3/1 as well) At 6ft my weight went from 220, to a dumpy 270 (probably unhealthy), and after evening out to a strong/healthy 245ish. I do not feel heavy or slow, even though Im 25lbs bigger than I started- I feel great. Obviously everyones body is different but hopefully my results help you get a picture.
It's been almost 10 years since I wrote the above portion of this review (my gosh!), and it still holds true. The only thing I wish I had known about (and used) during that time in my life was whole RAW milk. Commercial milk is, well, simply full of too much pus (yes PUS from the milk of SICK cows), hormones and other nauseating stuff to be of REAL use for strength development supplementation. I have since found a provider of raw milk - "for my pets" - (from cows that I got to meet!) and my strength gains are NOTABLE even WITHOUT drinking anywhere NEAR the large amounts the author recommended in the text. (I have 2 sons!) AND "oddly" I exhibit NO "lactose intolerance" when drinking the RAW milk. (Not so surprising perhaps, for the thoughtful.) I had a colleague mention the fact that milk (at the time when the book was written) was likely NOT the commercial non-sense product it is today, but did not have the knowledge base to understand his comment at the time, nor access to real (raw) milk. For those who will try the supersquats pgm with raw milk, I'll repeat the invite to drop a line. To your strength!
If this type of routine worked for Peary Rader back in the 1930’s and 1940’s, and it worked for Mark Berry and JC Hise in the 1920's and 1930's, then it will work for you today.
Squat two or three times per week. Squat with high repetitions. Do it in a modified rest-pause fashion where you are taking several deep breaths between each rep. Add weight to the bar and do a handful of other basic barbell exercises every session. If you are eating and sleeping right and thus recovering well, you might do a few more sets per exercise. If you have less recovery ability for whatever reason, do as few as one set per exercise.
Every twelve weeks take a week or two off, reset your weights down a bit and start over.
Do this for a couple of years and you'll be a much bigger and stronger man or woman.
Period.

I have given away several copies of this book to friends and family and if followed correctly has always produced results.
I have the kindle version but like to flick through the book as well - hence my 4th printed copy!.
Be aware to monitor your milk/calorie intake as this will make or break your recovery and results.....too little will lead to burn out too much over to long will lead to a lot of fat gain....you will build strength and muscle and for the majority of Average Joe's after 20 plus years of training I cannot think of a better book that will produce results....combine with cycles of stronglifts/madcow or starting strength and you will have a great chance of reaching your full potential...which is a lot more than I can say for split routines (unless you are genetically above average or using PEDS) .
Best of luck.
If you want to transform your body from weak to strong, use this program, add consistency with lots of hard work and back in your glory.
anyone that wants to avoid being small and weak should give this book a read
