Doing something is always better than Nothing.
Just try the program it’s 3 weeks you will get some improvement, will motivate to try something longer term and get body used to a higher volume of work.
You seem to like Waterbury as a coach, why don’t you after 3 weeks do" V-Diet Lite" and follow training programs on there. There is enough to keep you going for 6 months and it’s all free,with printouts to keep you on track. I hope this has helped you as it can be confusing if you just theorise, just experiment.
If you want an athletic build this will be great, a bodybuilder on other hand follow what others have advised.
I just didn’t want another motivated person to come for advise and then do nothing, paralysis by analysis.

Waterbury has an awesome physique! I’ve never understood all the hate[/quote]
I met Waterbury at a seminar a few years ago. That is not a small guy…
His arms were easily 19 inches at the time and that’s when he was trying to get smaller to try his hand at martial arts and other training method.
At one time he was well over 240lbs and not fat. Strong too…
He has no ‘hate’ against bodybuilding. He disrespects the direction bodybuilding has taken. He ‘loves’ old school bodybuilders who could do gymnastic moves, olympic lifts etc.
The current mass at all cost (read pharmacology) is what he wants nothing to do with. Can’t really blame him, what advice can you really give a guy who wants to look like Cutler?

Indeed, that seems to be forgotten by the several thousand who are no doing just that because it’s Coach Thib recommending it. He was also the first to introduce rings to a bodybuilder…
Chad’s been around for quite some time. Even he has evolved and like others even Thibs have switched on different training concepts, unfortunately because of his publicity it takes much longer for him to live down comments that he may have said at a younger age. How many people here really think the same way they did when they were 21? If so either you were a true know it all genius or you haven’t grown.
FWIW if this is a book he currently endorses then you should do the program as he’s successfully trained a number of people.

LOL!
STFU Ethan - you’re weak as shit, and everyone knows it.
I absolutely love how this started out as a CW bashing thread, and then as soon as Ethan posted his dumbass shit, it immediately turned into a CW love thread.
I don’t have an opinion on the guy, but I thought it was funny.
I have an opinion. Chad Waterbury is the fucking man. There was so much hate for him back in the day, and rightfully so sometimes, but nothing he said was as outlandish as Poliquin or anything like that. The guy believed what he wrote, through years of experience of training himself and tons of clients. He was always a no bullshit guy and he has an impressive physique, and in the end that counts for EVERYTHING. I would say I’ve learned more from Chad than any other here, not to mention I started reading his stuff when I was 16 or so, so a lot of that early beginner stuff he wrote really resonated with me.
