99% of the time, if you dont succeed on this program, it means you started TOO HEAVY. if you cant comfortably increase the weight each week for the first 3 weeks, you started too heavy. you have to get your body used to it, used to the volume of work on those exercise, and used to weekly increases, if you do then around week 3 or 4 when yo pass your old poundages, youll just keep right o n going up. if you start too heavy youll feel like shit and hit a wall.

i havnt read the sticky in a while, but as i remember, i was fairly detailed on how this program is supposed to work. it really, honestly, will work if you do it right. i would urge anyone trying to do it to really read about it, and at least the first time through, really try to follow all the recomendations. i didnt put them up there just becasue i did it that way once and it happened to work. i am in the unique and lucky position to have been able to experiment with and use this this training style with literally hundreds of lifters, from football players, to olympic lifters, to beginners just wanting to get bigger, and even strongmen and other sports. the recomendations about starting light are there becasue over lots of time and experimentation i have found that this WORKS.
