Francesco:

First, I'd like to say that I am enjoying your program immensely. On the second day of my second week I have added 1/2" to my chest and lost 3/4" off my gut. It's also convenient to be out of the gym in an hour or less, because my schedule is sometimes tight.

I have gained 13 pounds since I started 5 weeks ago, and I've gone from benching 170lbs ten times to 200lbs ten times, I can leg press 700lbs for seven reps, and I'm also curling 107lbs for seven reps. And thanks to doing bench press using the technique outlined in the program, my chest has become absolutely ripped!

To date, your program has given me the best results of all systems I've tried. I ventured into Heavy Duty/ Mike Mentzer territory for quite some time, and it taught me that while one can maintain mass on once a week or less workouts, it doesn't yield the kind of startlingly quick gains your program does.

Between when I started your program in April and the beginning of July, at a height of 5'8, I went from 160 and 8% bodyfat with a 32 inch waist to 196 with a 33 1/2 inch waist. And, considering I was pulling 335lbs for 12 on stiff legged deadlifts, and my abs were still very visible, I estimate that only 1/4-1/2 inch of that waist gain was fat. Since then, I've gotten as heavy as 210 at times, but at my present height of 5'9 I tend to look kind of funny above 200lbs. The point is people, this program works!

Thanks for all your help!
