bfs is meant for more than mass gain. The program uses lower reps with heavy weights to increase strength, and yogiponappa is right, it does help to break through plateaus. If your skeptical, subscribe to bfs magazine and it tells about the program. Biggerfasterstronger.com if you want to subscribe. If you have a "be an eleven" clinic at your school I HIGHLY recomend you attend.
The only problem is that the bfs core program leaves out many auxilary lifts that are important.

BFS is an awesome program that improves strength, size, speed, and jumping ability. I made huge gains with it last summer.

yea the book is just called Bigger Stronger Faster. I bought it on ebay a couple weeks ago for about $9. Its written more for a coach than an athlete but you can still get some fairly useful information from it. It gives you workouts for main lifts and then gives you auxiliary lifts to choose from so you make your own workout. It also has some plyo and stretching things in it which are pretty useful but can be found on the internet.
It looks like it would be pretty good at preventing plateu-ing and is not extremely hard or complicated. It is set up to be very encouraging because everytime you do a particular workout you see improvement.

Yeah. Most book stores will order it. Theres another real great book out by the BFS designers. I think its called "dream the biggest dream'. Awesome motivational book. Highly recomended.

Bingo... Iankers you hit the nail on the head. Thats the reason younger kids like it so much.

The best feeling in the world is the feeling you get after a tough set of squats after you step back from the power rack and throw up all over the floor.
