er, yeah, no.

Following the books advice and rest-pausing your true 10 RM for 20 reps three times a week is the most retarded , dangerous thing you can do in the gym - except maybe 20 rep deadlifts.

following it with ham sandwiches and gallons of milk is even worse.

I'll admit the nutritional advice is a joke (I never followed that), but 20 rep squats (and higher) are the best thing you could ever do for your legs and your entire body. I've done it 2x wk with amazing results. Eventually I got up to 315 x 25 reps and 225 x 55 reps at 180lbs (natty). People in the gym all thought I was on gear... weak minded fools.

Wiggs, do you think Goodrum will ever write a book on fitness? If he did, would you buy it?

Fight Club - Chuck Palahniuk
Breakfast of Champions - Kurt Vonnegut
Blood Meridian - Cormac McCarthy

I'm sure someone lifted something in each.

Yes, I read that. I especially like that weird looking bump on Vinces calf. I wonder how he got that.

Goodrum appears to be a pretty important person in the fitness industry. I think he will write a book some day.

1. Starting Strength

2. Super Squats

3. Only The Strong Survive

Obtain these three books and spend 6 months on each one. In a year and a half you will be a muscle machine.

There is a reason those powerlifters hate fitnessguys. What u cant achive and get your brain protect itself by hate on those people!

To get strong = lot of food. No cardio at all, not even take a walk. Not a god combination!

Actually a little research would have saved you the embarrassment of the above post. This routine was pioneered by the great J.C. Hise back in the '30s. It works. So do high rep deadlifts. I don't recall anything about "ham sandwiches" but yes, milk was a part of this program.
