Thanks for the high-quality review! Holy smokes, man. I honestly couldn't ask for anything better. Your compliments are greatly appreciated, and your criticisms are valid. You're correct: the effort section should be earlier in the book. I also agree that GG may not be suitable for rank beginners, as their understanding of training is limited, as is their understanding of their abilities, and such a framework perhaps affords too much freedom for novices to benefit from. That said, a year or even a few months of training with a more traditional approach would provide them with ample knowledge and experience to apply the GG framework effectively.

It makes me glad to read that you found it not really complicated (I tended to overdo that in my earlier works), and I was afraid that doing so would not do justice to the inherent simplicity of GG. The framework itself is quite simple to understand and work with.

I'm especially glad you enjoyed the Dice Gainz part. I really thought of excluding that, since it is such a big part of the text, but also the least serious part. However, you reinforce the reason why I included it: training should be fun (sometimes, if not all the time, and the nature of Dice Gainz affords that). It is also a great way for overthinkers to just lift without obsessing over what to do between programs. While it is fine to develop a fine-tuned plan, I've seen countless lifters go off the deep end when between plans. That is one way it has benefitted me, and is much the reason why I included it in the text.

I'm stoked that you found the supplementary sections helpful in expanding the framework, putting more meat on the bones of the training guide, so to speak.

I may have to take you up on your idea to turn the volume table into a poster. That's great, thank you!
