Anthony:

Since I got the XF7000, I've been following the A/B program and using
the My Strength Coach to schedule the work-outs. Despite having many
problems with the XF7000, I do sincerely want to see if I can get more
muscle as promised by the Explosive Fitness company. I'm determined
to be able to do some pull ups!!! Etc. All those good things that
more muscle would give me. So, I am following their required
protocals to the letter. I don't want to invalidate the guarantee.

If I continue to make no progress at the end of the year, however, I
will be looking for other ways to make gains. I believe I've seen
references in your postings to a set of protocals that you have worked
out. Have you posted your actual recommendations anywhere that I
could look up? At some point, I might be interested in giving it a
try if you are willing to share. I would also be interested in
knowing/understanding some of the science behind why you think one
thing and the XF company/Sisco thinks something else. Do you have
some recommended reading that a non-biologist could follow?

Thanks,
- JJ
