It is an explosive workout and I have already seen great results. I have modified his program and created my own version, but the basic structure is great. * The Burr Grinder (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000AR7SY/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0000AR7SY&linkCode=as2&tag=gradandclue-20) that I mentioned I bought in episode #35 (http://jeffsanders.com/35), has also been fantastic. I bought the highest rated coffee bean grinder on Amazon and it has lived up the hype. The grinder is much quieter than my older spinning blade model and it definitely improved the flavor of my espresso! * If you’re looking to significantly boost your productivity, I think you would love The 5 AM Blueprint, which is an affordable way to get direct, customized feedback from me to create an effective schedule for your ideal day.
