This is a super great program for athletes requiring explosive strength, speed, power, and high alactic capacities in their sports, as well as Powerlifting, Olympic lifting, and Strongman athletes. It is a combination of carefully selected aspects from many other great programs, such as the Westside Barbell's conjugate method, Jim Wendler's 5-3-1 lifting program, and Eastern Block training methodologies using volume and intensity progressions to strength, as well as deloading scenarios. It separates the wheat from the chaff, and drops unproven and inappropriate training methods for raw lifters or raw lifting athlete. It also employs modern cutting edge sport science, leaving ossified reference frames in the dust where they belong. All in all, it is a synergistic approach that results in much more than the sum of its parts.
On a personal note, I bought Chad Smith's Juggernaut Method book because I enjoy diversity and variety in my workouts and athletic endeavors which include such things as sprinting, speed swimming, kettelbells, TRX, powerlifting, plyometrics, various other exercises, and some Olympic lifting. Using his method, weight lifting for explosive strength and power is a support to my athleticism rather than a vortex of energy depletion. At 64, I want to keep my athleticism going, improve, and continue to make gains as long as I can in speed, alactic ability, and raw strength. It's fun, a challenge, and an adventure - and this book is right up my alley! I recommend Smith's book to serious athletes of all ages and abilities. It is hands down the best approach for athletes in sports requiring explosive strength.
The only criticism I have of the book is that it has many typos - way too many, and although it did not interfere with my understanding of what was being conveyed, the sheer number of typos takes away from what could have been a very professional conveyance commensurate with the author's expertise, credentials, experience, creativity, and good will. A look through by a technical writer would have really helped, and relative to the author's professional standing, I have no idea why this was not done.

The program itself is amazing, with ludicrous strength gains being reported by many ...
