that doesn't appeal to me, im natural and i belive my recovery capabilietes would be better suited to a push pull legs routine, but that is just me.

Reasons it works:
1 - Increase lifting intensity while in the gym
2 - Focuses on back and leg work which produce over-all gains
3 - Increases the number of off days in the gym for most
4 - rep ranges generally lower than most bodybuilding programs
All the above add up to a "recompostion" phase which translates into a stronger, more rested body.

I wouldn't recommend that at all. I don't like half reps for anything. I just believe that when doing military press with a bar, taking it much lower than your eyes puts the shoulder in a very vulnerable position. Personally, I don't think I'll ever do shoulder presses with a bar ever again.

I still dont like it, i think sticking to a basic push/pull/legs routine is better for hypertrophy. I tried poliqins gvt, and it increased my strenght, but i think it was mostly cns adaption, not muslce gain since i didn't add a pound of lean body mass,.
i also dont like doing 5 sets of oh presses two days before benching, that would kill my bench workout. additionally i would like to see some more lat work in there, lats are the largest mucle in the back and i belive chins are much more effective than rows at hitting the lats evn if you do the rows with an underhand grip.

this really works
i started this routine about 10 days ago, and my weight has gone from 185 (8% b.f.) to 191 already.... seems to be mostly lean muscle mass too.... abs and definition still seem the same.
one thing i noticed, this routine makes me really hungry all the time.... good for me as i have don't normally have a big appetite.
only drawback i found is that my joints (knee, wrist in particular) feel a bit sore (not painfully sore though). has anyone else experienced this ?

Nice BASIC program
In order to become a big mofo you got to become a strong mofo and this program lays a good solid foudation for that. The difference between a bodybuilder and a powerlifter is that after such a period of doing 5 reps with basic movements, the boldybuilder will switch to 8-10 reps to expand his new found strength into even more quality mass while the powerlifter will focus more on the 1RM attempt.
