It doesn’t seem too rational to expect phenomenal results at the age of 70. I am riding that horse now.
I have done all I knew to do and only got weaker and weighing less year after year since I tuned 60.
I tried the Surge plus the protocol and responded fairly well for a while, until I got an infection in my lower leg and a subsequent blood clot. This last November my body weight has risen from about 198 to 205lbs (got slightly stronger) using the full Surge recommendation and my modification to the protocol. I picked one block each workout to pyramid to a 6 to 8 rep max and immediately (60 seconds later) go into the pump-stimulate-flutter. I wanted to add a strength aspect to the protocol.
Training philosophies are continually evolving, so I don’t mind when someone adds, subtracts, or completely alters their recommended best training method.
I am not a huge fan of Plazma, but I do very much like Surge.
I would have preferred the OP would have addressed his concerns a little less accusatory.
