It will pack on more muscle and get you much stronger than you are now, but it won't turn you into a Ronnie Coleman or a Jay Cutler. Trust me, you will probably look like you want to look simply by follow that program. With your bodytype, I wouldn't go with anything less. -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!" "Pain is only weakness leaving the body."

To change from progressive to the special 12-week mass program, you must choose Advanced (instead of beginner or intermediate) and choose access to free weights and machines. This should do the trick... -------------- **_Robert_**
