FWIW, I think a lot of the mocking on here comes from it being a fad, not from it being inherently stupid. People saying it's the "ULTIMATE WORKOUT" or treating it like some awesome training secret.

You wanna see some athletic huge dudes? MY friends, behold the top performers at the 2010 NFL combine: http://www.nfl.com/combine/top-performers

Some highlights:

Trent Williams with a 34.5" standing vertical at 315 lbs
Clay Harbor 40" standing vertical at 252 lbs
Bruce Campbell 4.85 40 at 315 lbs

FWIW, Cushing jumped 35" on his Pro Day at USC and at the combine.

No, same problem I've been having for months with the left toe. My avatar is an x-ray of my left foot, showing the bone spur and malformed metacarpophalangeal joints. (Fun word, isn't it?) Problem is, now the pain has spread to the right big toe, and for whatever reason -- I haven't adapted or figured out how to compensate yet, maybe -- the right one hurts a lot more. They feel normal most of the time, but anything where my toes have to be in serious extension is hard. Sprinting, for example. I cut off the sprints because the starts hurt too much.

Larger photo is somewhere back in the recesses of this journal. Let me see if I can find it.

Well, the vid works again now, and the guy who's holding his arms up there pushed the guy up. Oh well.

Maybe you're doing it wrong, then? Or if not "wrong" then at least there's another way that you're not seeing? IDK, I feel like, barring some actual physical problem, you should be able to stretch everything without pain.

Thats Pat Mendez right? I think so. Hes an absolute beast. Look up the video of him doing some records before turning 20. Crazy stuff. I think its called the strongest teenager in the world or something like that.

Yup, it's Pat Mendes.

Hey Jack,

yeah, I can definitely see your point there! But I tend to think that there is no need to treat every individual differently training wise a lot of the time. Templates that were successful with one person, will likely be successful for another person of the same training status, who has the same goals. This is especially true for beginners, who are most likely to buy this program anyway, and becomes less valid with progressing training age.


Good point. Most people are not extra special flowers who need extra special training. They need to get good at the fundamentals, just like everyone else.* There are all kinds of ways of getting there, but they're really just variations on a theme: get stronger, get faster, get fitter. The rest is details.

*EDIT: Myself included.
