As expected strength gains
As expected muscle gains
Significant modifications
My favorite aspect was the focus on the staple movements. I did get bored by the end, but there was at least some variety. The test weeks weren't for me, but others might dig them. The program structure made sense, but I almost always added volume. I can't do dual bell swings & cleans yet, so I swapped them out for singles. I thought there was too much doubles work for a beginner program. Those caveats in mind, I'd recommend it, especially w/ a 4th day for accessory/isolation work on the side.

Would have liked a touch more variety, but overall great and a fun way to work with kettlebells.
