I finished the program today and got all the reps. Used 45's.

It's all laid out for you. Reps, exercises rest periods. Simple
Minimum effective dose. Got 15-17 minutes? 3x a week for 12 weeks? Or 6x for 6
The squat part on weeks 7-12 is similar to the Wolf
Unbelievable for conditioning. Heart rate was 180 at the end today. And it carries over to running and other exercise.
Dislikes:
Not a fan of the high pull, but whatever
Number of sets in weeks 3, 6, 9, 12. Going from 3-5, 4-6 or 5-7 catches up on you.
Weight is 198-199, I thought this could be used as a fat burner. I don't believe that now. You're hungry on workout days. I could have eaten cleaner.
Doing 7 sets of see saw presses yesterday with 45's felt like toys.
Builds mental toughness. Squat, Press, Clean and Push Press, Double Snatch, Squat, when I got to double snatch, I knew I was going to make each set.
Did swings, high pulls and snatches outside of the legs to avoid popping my SI joint.
On an off day, I did do heavy day week 7-12 as a chain for one set. Was interesting.
My presses with the 45's were a lot stronger, whether it carries over to anything heavier, I'll figure out in a couple of days.
Highly recommend. Diabolical, in a good way.
