Cringe, lazy work, overpriced
The tone used comes across quite arrogant, as his reddit posts which are easy to find. Uses selective "absolutes" to reinfoce his opinions when not providing evidence. I have both of his books and I'm not impressed at all, I wish I could have my money back. It's not that the info is wrong it's just disorganised, insufficient, poor printing work and unpleasant to read.Pg 36: "Show me a man with skinny legs and I'll tell you he is no man."Pg unknown: "No reasonable person believes that training twice a month would be adequate to build rucking performance for Selection". I agree but yeah the tone is, if you disagree you're not a reasonable person. No evidence provided. The same tone is used throughout.Pg. 21: "You can make the argument that the Incline Dumbbell Fly induces more hypertrophy when conducted with a movement tempo of [...] mid-point of maximal activity, blah, blah, blah...you can make that argument. Or you could Shut Up and Ruck"The schedule provided at the end (60% of the whole book) is pure lazy work - it lacks a clear overview (ie a table) of the whole training so you have to turn let's say 93 pages one by one to see your schedule progression for the next 3 months.Also the basis of the provided training falls a bit on the "one fits all" side which I'm sceptical with for this goal. Try to challenge him on reddit on the 80% 1RM for 12rep x3 times. It also has no mention for Elevation gain which makes me question thr overall book a lot (thinking kf the 8-miler and the Fan).Imo save yourself time and money. Use the Green Protocol for 1/5 of the price and the strength goals of Stew Smith.TLDR is 3x strength a week, 3x long runs a week, 1 to 3 tabs a week + progression. Nothing new under the sun really.All the above would be okay to some extent if it wasn't for the greedy price.
