not at all, i've been doing it for about 9 weeks now & am going to switch up to the 5x5 next week
went from 182 to about 195-197 & i'm super lean
trust me it works, it seems real easy when you're starting... like "that can't be it... what about targeting arms, abs, etc?" but it works... its great for building a solid frame ALL OVER that you can target define later
my arms grew, my legs are massive, upper body is solid and im a lot stronger than i was...
my numbers aren't THAT impressive but i'm barbell squatting about 330 & flat benching around 240 for the reps in this program... which is a lot more than i was able to do before
i wish i wouldn't have shrugged this off years ago & went for it then
my goal is to be about 200-205
good luck man, i seriously suggest you give this a shot! i just keep the diet fairly clean & i've had no problem with the fatty weight...
to be honest it is somewhat difficult to bulk & stay lean at the same time because in order to grow you need a lot of extra calories... sure its possible but the overall goal would take a lot longer
