I didn’t want to derail the KSK thread with further giant discussion lol. To answer the hypertrophy question, I have definitely gained a lot in the shoulders and arms. My first run seemed to hit my biceps and forearms pretty heavily, with my second run really blowing up my traps. I think there was a bit of technique refinement in there causing the difference, I was overgripping and not hinging enough on the first run. Shoulders and triceps growing equally on both runs (although I haven’t ran 1.1 and 1.2 again). My sleeves have gotten too short on all my dress shirts since I started the program, so it isn’t all in my head lol.
This is definitely sustainable longterm for me so far, I actually bought kettlebells in 2-3kg jumps all the way up to 80# in hopes I can run giant that long. We will see
