I've incorporated elements of it into my training though with a few exceptions; I only increase the weight once a week not every time, I mix bits with other stuff I like doing like dumbbell stuff & I do 2km on the rower first. He gives guide weights for starting in there somewhere with different figures for male & female (though it's basically starting with just the bar).
I've definitely had results from it & there are a couple of ladies at my gym that seem to be at least loosely following it (the same as me) who also seem to be enjoying it.
