Honestly? THAT'S your argument? nobody trains like this so it must be good? I'm not questioning the quality of your product, only the arguments made on the site. It certainly wouldn't benefit you to say something like "the only program that may be better than ours is one outlined in Ross Enamaits products" but honestly you really think you guys are THAT unique?

I mean ok, how about this:
Are you doing two separate things here? because neuromuscular efficiency is most commonly thought of as best built through heavy loads and low reps, NOT loading parameters conducive to endurance.
Why? Asside from conditioning your core musculature to prevent injury, I see no reason to prepare your neuro-muscular system for intense training besides "psyching" yourself up. should you have adequate stability? sure! but thats more about the development and strengthening of muscle than it is improving CNS function.
"it will affect," to what extent? these weasel words allude to greater problems than will actually occur. Work capacity allows you to lift more during difference phases of a periodized routine, allowing you to handle more volume, but how much this is true is a matter of debate. The best lifters in the world don't suffer and often employ minimal GPP work to increase work capacity.

The strength and power videos have little to do with either strength or power and the description of the strength section is riddled with even more bad science, and statements not substantiated in the videos anyways, like this gem:
Time under tension is a shitty strength buiding paradigm to begin with. it's something that a BODYBUILDER invented to increase SIZE and perceived intensity of a workout.
this tempo was not AT ALL demonstrated in the video offered. And an exagerated eccentric phase will most likely lead to greater soreness. I guess if your goal is to make relatively untrained people feel like they got a good workout, this ia pretty good way to go, but generally if you have time and concentration to count a cadence in your lift, you're not going heavy enough to facilitate strength gains. But maybe you and I have different definitions of strength. I define strength as peak force generation through maximal mass (as opposed to acceleration).
Source? compensation patterns are a functional and postural deficiency, there's no reason you couldn't lift heavy AND avoid both compensation patterns as well as injury with proper attention to rehab and muscular or flexibility imbalances.

oddly enough, the literature in your power section seems prettyaccurate. I'd note only that some powerlifting gyms out there have measure the increase in power output from heavy lifting and found it to match what would come from explosive lifting (dynamic effort training with bands and chains) with the added benefit of increasing your peak strength (ability to move larger masses). is lifting heavy like this MOST beneficial to all athletes, no. probably not. but i would bet that a lot of athletes just starting to lift would benefit tremendously from heavy lifting before moving on to more advanced protocols.

I'm not passing judgement on your product, but the statements made, the sample videos offered, and the fact that you're plugging a product for free on a website with paid sponsors (which makes you essentially a spammer) makes it subject to scrutiny.

oh snap somebody got owned.
