TL;DR
Starting advice to the 150 pound, 11% BF, 22 BMI male was there was "no need" to gain muscle mass or size, though it was suggested to the 140 pound, 8.8% BF male to gain a bit.

Results of 90 days were a few pounds lost among the females and a slight increase in size on the small male who is now almost 150 pounds (9 pounds gained) after three months. No report on any actual fitness or performance metric was taken or mentioned.

ok, going thru the links now. For starters, I don't think any of those fancy body fat measuring machines are accurate (handle bars or not).
If those two guys are 8 and 11 . . . then I'm 6% (which I'm really probably 15%) . . . .

. . . how's the Jordan F. SS study-data-compilation-thingy coming???
. . . can't wait to see the results/data on that as opposed to this Pile-90X thing.

The "90" is P90X = probably comes from about the time when results start to flatline on average.

I wanted to write a angry rant reply, but screw it, it's not worth it.

Indeed.

The flailing of the participants in the video was depressing. It might have been for comedic effect (maybe) but this is what an honest effort, even with novice gain potential, nets you with this sort of thing.

Not that I needed additional reasons, but I appreciate SS more now.
