the pictures are definitely played up, as is a lot of the rhetoric.

for me, the process worked because i wasn't very strong to begin with, but was athletic. its much easier to put on muscle mass when you don't have much to begin with, as opposed to being a bodybuilder to start and then try to use this process to bulk up even more. there are diminishing returns.

the point of the post is valid, imo -- minimal time and work, when done intelligently, does show large results. in this case.
