If free weights were used, I would be interested in seeing the numbers.

My numbers are on one of the first pages of this thread. The only max which comes to mind is my begging max on bench, and it was 230. I have moved twice since using Blitz's system, so I can't find any numbers.

I used a mixture of cables and free weights and saw large rep increases overall. I eventually was adding the increments prescribed by Blitz, because I was achieving my calculated goals. My overall endurance and physical fitness was phenomenal compared to any fitness program I have ever did.
