Right, but when you're already looking like a disadvantaged mountain of legs at the beginning, how does squatting 3 times a week with progressive overload seem like a good idea? Sure, SS is fine for getting someone into the gym for the first few weeks because it's an easy enough program to stick with, but it's not a myth when there are multiple examples or it happening. Dude should have picked a different routine that made sense with what he was starting with.
