I started this workout on Mon, I was gonna start Jun 9th, but I was looking forward to it too much.......it can be followed by someone looking for strength and size, but it promotes the total package: srength, size, speed, quickness, explosion, power, and I'd say above all else, functional strength.......I'd recommend it for any athlete. Doing the clean and snatch pulls before the clean and snatch themselves helps your timing and form, and whatever stiffness you have lingering from the previous day is wiped out after the warm-up.
Also, this is for an active athlete. To avoidness too much soreness, do something on your days for active recovery. Run, sprint, swim, play basketball, stretch, use some bands, some dinosaur stuff......DO NOT spend your off days laying on the couch eating ice cream, sleeping, and playing video games. You'll be stiff as a board if you do. Even while watching TV, stretch, try to do a split, touch your toes, do SOMETHING.

If you want strength and size this is a good routine for that, you can decide on the volume of the exercises based on your goals, and your recovery ability.
That is a good point BBBD29, I would suggest you get a full set of bands from elitefts.com or monstermuscle or jumpstretch or where ever, then religously follow Spatt's active recovery sticky at home. CasualBB brought up a good point that not many people think about and it is: when you stretch or do anything that pumps blood to a given muscle that has been trained and is in the recovery phase you are providing it with more blood hence more of the nutrients it needs to grow along with repairing it faster...active recovery is perfect for this and is really pretty easy to do, bands can go with you anywhere, and can be a good cure for boredom...lol

Tomorrow is my last training day for the week on this program, I will post a journal sometime tomorrow night, or the next morning. It couldn't be going better. I love the set-up. I trained similar to this my whole life, in that I went for the total package at once. I never liked breaking my training down into phases, Like 4 weeks of hypertrophy, 4 weeks of strength, 4 weeks of peaking, etc etc. I always got the best results with something well-rounded that hits everything.
Other notes, training like this will increase your appetite 10 fold, it will help you sleep like a baby at night, it will boost your confidence because you will know you're capable of so much more, hell, cause you're in such a good mood it even boosts your sex drive. Just an excellent routine, I'd recommend to anyone. You do need to watch your lifestyle though. You can be training hung over or with a lack of sleep because you just won't be able to do it.
I'll post up about week 1 though. Another thing, squatting totally raw makes you feel like a machine, and sends your confidence through the roof because you know you've attacked every weak link you could possibly have.

Ok going to start tomorrow, check my journal for the workout tomorrow
I am glad you guys are having fun with it I used to phase the volume where I would start at sets of 12 and drop two reps a week until I got to 8 reps, then I would go to 8, 6,4 then 6,4,3...so it will breakdown into 3 mini cycles, don't worry if you have already started lower than twelve, just pick up at 8 in week three and follow it from then on in.
After the first three weeks, some of the movements can be changed, so keep me posted on how you are progressing, specifically what lifts are not going up.
