High Intensity, lower volume lifting as a sole exercise
Anyone a proponent or know much about this? Drew Baye is a huge proponent for this in combination with a paleo diet, so is Doug McGuff, an MD

I have watched all of these videos through-and-through, and I have to say, I'm pretty impressed. I want to buy Doug McGuff's book, Body by Science, and see if there's any more explanation. I don't really expect everyone to sit through the 2 hour videos, but if you do, there is a lot of great information to be had. Today I tried my first intense lifting session, and even though it's just one set of every exercise, I was absolutely finished afterwards. I've been working out since January so I'm not totally new to lifting.
Does anyone on here adhere to this particular style? Have you seen great results?

I'm planning on starting this soon. A bit nervous about getting that worn out, though!0

What are your goals? What are you hoping to accomplish with this? And can we get some cliff notes? I'm not watching 4+ hours of video, sorry.
Having said that, a 30 second glance tells me:
1) Skinny dude claiming to have some sort of revolutionary lifting program, red flag.
2) Paleo anything. Sirens are going off now.
I'm skeptical already.0
