Late to the party again...I did do this program some time back and was one of Geoff s guineau pigs. I went with the clean and push press as I didn't to "think too much" about doing jerks in such high volume and density. Since then I'm more confident in jerks.
The program worked quite well. Initially I used double 32s and after phase1 I tested myself as per Geoff s instructions and I added several reps to the 10RM! I talked with Geoff and he ok'd me jumping to the 36s for the remainder of the program.
The goal of the program was building muscle. I didn't gain so much mass BUT I stayed basically the same weight with better composition. This was evidenced by pants fitting more comfortably than they did before and slightly tighter shirt sleeves. Not scientific I know but oh well.
After doing it I jumped into "Strong" with 32s doing phase 1 with the C and Press then phases 1 and 2 with the 36s.
I felt the clean and push presses improved my strict pressing strength even though some say it won't.
Worthwhile program.
