Ran it for a while with some mods due to equipment/life changes. The book never contradicted any of the strength and conditioning knowledge I had gained from other sources, to include books, articles, and videos on powerlifting, endurance training, and work capacity training. If you pick solid, big bang for your buck exercises like OHP, weighted pullups, and squats, you will make pretty solid strength gains. You will not, however, see the massive hypertrophy from a more bodybuilding-focused plan and you may not reach your aesthetic goals while eating to pursue your strength goals on the plan, since you would likely be eating in a caloric surplus.
There's a lot more about the plan and some of his mods on his own forum and reddit, though:

I do suggest doing his basebuilding protocol first though; it just builds a layer of mental toughness and cardiovascular endurance that comes in handy when you need it.
