I never read any reaction from Lyle McDonald on it, but I remembered where I read an article about novices by Mark Rippetoe.

Thanks, that's it.

Like Steven said, Lyle got all bent out of shape because he thought there was no way it could be possible.

Like Gant said, the kid was skinny and put on a ton of weight, with a decent amount of fat, but plenty of muscle.

I think that article should be mandatory reading when someone signs up for a gym membership.
