"Who can benefit from this program?" is a question that I get often.
To me, it's perfectly clear. But the answer is EVERYONE.
Young and old, male and female, EVERYONE can benefit from STRENGTH TRAINING such as this.
First, for WOMEN:
Your butt will get round and FIRM. You will have ABS, even if you don't do any "direct" ab training. All of these exercises work your core muscles (abs/obliques). Your arms will lose their grandmother/lola effect.
Will it make you "bulky"? NO!!!! If you are not taking STEROIDS, LADIES, you have NOTHING to worry about! And YES, the local "fitness/bodybuilding" competition sponsored by a big local fitness center chain (you know who I'm talking about unless you live in a cave) is FULL of STEROID USING WOMEN!!! Don't be fooled ladies. They are probably taking Primobolan (an injectible). I have banned their lady dealer/trainer from Eclipse.
Your bones will become very strong and dense from strength training. Do you really think that drinking milk and taking calcium supplements will save you from osteoperosis? Well think again. My own mother, a religious milk drinker, is now suffereing from mild osteoperosis because she started strength training ONLY NOW at the age of 62 years old. I've been barking at her for the last 15 years to do so, and only now she understands since it is now on the freakin' TODAY show. So if your own biochemist son tells you to do it, you'll put it off, but that air-head Katie Couric says "Just do it", you'll jump up and push? Thanks alot ma...
Now for MEN:
What do you expect? Well if you want to get big and strong, the 5x5 will do it for you. If you want something simple as looking like a Mossimo or Bench model (without steroids....it's amazing that those pencil necks take steroids for that competetion...but they do...idiots), the 5x5 can do this easily.
It's also amazing to me how guys think a program like this will turn them into Hulk Hogan. Uh...guys...hello...it doesn't work that way. You'll still need a combination of drugs, incredible genetics, and probably AT LEAST 7-10 years of training to be that enormous. But I suppose that you can get that big if you really want to do so.
Take home message guys: When you reach your desired size and definition....BY ALL MEANS STOP shooting for big gains, and simply maintain your size/strength.
Why must everyone make everything so COMPLICATED? It's so simple ladies and gentlemen
