Scott,
Sorry to bother you. I'll start off by saying just purchased the e-book a few days and and admittedly I haven't read the e-book completely. I get in as much as I can while I'm working my 12 hour shifts. A section I read says you must know your body well. I've only been working out for a little over 3 years (minus highschool when I was forced for sports). I spent the previous 7 months dropping from 282# to 175# using very strict dieting and liss daily. I know now that I didn't necessarily go the right way about losing weight, but I did it that way and have continued my progress by lifting. I feel like I know my body well for the style of fitness and lifting I'm used to. My wife is an avid crossfitter, I do crossfit wods a couple times a week for cardio. I really grabbed onto the the Olympic lifting so I implemented that into the powerlifting style training I was doing. 90 percent of my work load was squats (variations), deadlift (variations), bench (predominately flat with grip variations). I also did shoulder press and barbell rows. I implemented clean and jerk (variations) and snatch (variations) into my lifting. I run a 3 day split. For the most part I hit those major muscles multiples times a week with how I pair the Olympic lifts, shoulder presses, and barbell rows with the big three. I don't really do any isolation training. I haven't really dabbled in bodybuilding type hypertrophy and isolation. I do get some high rep work in doing the crossfit words.
With all that said I know very little about isolation type training. I don't know how my body responds to it. I was recommended this program by a guy on another forum I'm on who highly advocates it. With the info I've given, do you feel I'm a candidate for this program?
