Like Anna, I just finished the six week protocol. Please see her post for the specifics.
For me, it was a great experience! I had been doing S+S for quite a while and had just worked the 44 kg into all my swing sets, so I used the 44 for the "Lazy Endurance" protocol.
Pluses: Grip strength massively increased. During the last week I really felt I had reached a new level with my grip, both in strength and skill. Back strength ramped up, core strength increased. Also, getting through the long sets is great for the mind as well; you really test yourself a little bit.
Minuses: None. Seriously. I loved it. Good hand care was a must though.
I increased my 10 minute run distance by 25%, and my snatch test number by 13%! My resting HR went down 10 bpm! Not bad for being "lazy" for 6 weeks!
