There are hundreds of millions of Americans who are currently overweight to the point where it is negatively affecting "health" and they would be much better off if they lost the weight. I am sure when they first started gaining weight most of these people told themselves they could (and would) lose it all when the time was right.
Is SS along with caloric overconsumption probably a very effective means of gaining strength and LBM for a novice weightlifer? Yes
Are there costs to such a program? Yes
Considering most of us have H&F goals other than gaining as much strength as possible in as short a time-fram as possible, might a different programming approach be a better choice? I do not know, but I think it is worth discussing.
