Asking for before and after pictures indicates not "getting it", imo. If you are after aesthetic gains then this is not the program for you. High rep, body-part specific bodybuilding routines with tons of food are what will give you that. S&S is a stripped-down no-BS program to develop functional, athletic strength and conditioning largely targeted towards the needs of people who can't afford to completely burn out their bodies in the gym because they have to be able to use their body on a daily basis. Or people who simply don't have time for more than this. It produces absolutely phenomenal results in relation to the time it takes, the amount of energy it leaves you for other things and the fact that it is absolutely idiot-proof (provided said idiot is not too smart to read and follow instructions.) If you want to have impressive muscles, don't do this. I gained weight and my musculature is much more harmoniously developed but with clothes on I look more or less the same as always (this is a bonus for me.) Do S&S if you don't care how you look with clothes on but are more interested in being able to throw heavy rocks, climb trees, wrestle your friends, lift patients, break down doors, carry heavy kit, break jaws, run fast, kick hard, take punches, ruck 10k and then after all of that come home relaxed and smiling with enough energy left to give the missus a bit of a love-tussle before bed. That is what S&S is for. That is what it does.
