Criticizing it as "nothing new" is a little unfair, it's like the popular theory about book writing that says that everything's already been written somewhere, it's just a matter of reformulating what exists into something "new". Just because it's a hybrid of existing ideas doesn't mean it won't work, this assemblage of ideas hasn't been tried yet. Should be intense-some volume combined with german volume training. Probably good to use for 3 weeks - 2 months at a time for shock value.
I wouldn't dismiss it as just pumping sets at the end, it's not that because the sets here are more numerous and rigorous-it's basically german volume training (7 x 8/12) at the end of decent volume done beforehand, combining two different existing concepts. Intense to do both one after the other.
It's also not giant sets.
Reliance on research papers is crazy, because so much of what is in the training realm is not substantiated by conclusive research.
Of course i also agree with isolation exercises as he's suggesting, machines/ cables, the rep range (+/- a couple of reps on either end based on individual preference) and the frequency of training.
Worth trying if you have an open mind, because all the preconceptions about having been there done that don't amount to squat compared to actually doing it for a decent amount of time.
