Props to your son. How tall is he?
Thanks. He is 5’11"
Not to take away from what he’s done but 5’11 at 180 lbs isn’t very big. But for his goals (building some strength/muscle for sports) its seems to be working out. When you’re 5’11 170 any decent program should give you results. I’d love to see examples of people who were at least my size when I started (6’ 190 10-15% bf) who got huge off this program.[/quote]
I wouldn’t say he’s BIG but he’s not small either. His bf is single digits. I was just stating that he has grown fairly quick on this program. Again, I wish I had pictures just for progress. Starting size is reletive.

I reread the part of my post about how bodybuilding had not negatively impacted baseball. I didn’t mean to imply that bodybuilding is the way to get better at baseball. I don’t think that at all. I just think that too many baseball coaches are afraid of letting their players put on muscle. I am young and do not have much experience when it comes to different coaching styles but I have noticed that baseball coaches would much rather have their position players do distance running and band work rather than lift anything that even remotely resembles a heavy weight. The point I was trying to make is that by baseball standards I may be ‘musclebound’ but my on field play easily proved otherwise. I don’t think baseball players need to be massive at all. But a small muscle can only get so strong, ig you understand what I mean by that. Eventually muscle growth is needed to allow strength gains. [/quote]
I agree with you totally. I watched to many coaches that were agraid of building muscle. His H.S. strength coach was useless for most athletes. But the baseball coach insisted on the team lifting together. First Year College a little better but more for strength endurance than maxial strength. I think the scariest part was their lack of teaching proper technique. As you stated before, you guys agreed that this CW is good for athletes. I also think, watching him first hand, that he can grow on this program to a pretty serious level if let alone.
