He's 63 so that was awesome. After finishing up the cycle, he mentioned how it almost felt too easy this time, yet he still set a PR that had been stagnant for a while.Boomerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05805593182070484941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141022388560653061.post-63926414286945840562013-03-28T15:59:44.049-07:002013-03-28T15:59:44.049-07:00So awesome that you posted this, Paul.

At 5'7 165lbs after struggling to get my bodyweight on squats and deadlifts after the end of phase 3 I had both over 300 and my bench over 200. The strength gains have helped my jiu jitsu as well.

I'm also using the strong 15 to program my big lifts (following a routine similar to your SPPC) and I'm most definitely still a beginner as far as strength goes. Although my lifts are still low, I can't see how a program like the strong 15 wouldn't work for just about every lifter who uses it correctly.
