I'll try to put my log in excel at some point and post it up.
One problem is that most programs measure progress in reps and sets, Body by Science measures in Time Under Load. This could make direct comparison hard.
Right, but a variety of tests such as vertical jump, overhead press, TuT like a farmers walk or something, should be able to give you an idea. For instance, squatting increased my sprint speed tremendously, do BBS people see similar gains in functionality? I haven't seen any evidence that they do yet.
One thing BBS is probably very useful for is maintenance of strength/lean body mass under extreme time pressure. If I really only had time for a 30 minute session once a week I think I would do BBS. I don't think I would get much stronger, but I also probably wouldn't get much weaker.
I've started this, using the Navy seal entrance exam, and just did my first three month follow up test, which was better but not by much. Will evaluate after a yearif I keep seeing improvements and should continue BBS, and post the data either way
I didn't actually do an outside strength test when I started, so I unfortunately won't have that data.
I can however do some basic strength tests now, and report back in a year. Any suggestions?
A couple measures each of various exercises, weightlifting, cardio, bodyweight movements. Like I'd probably test overhead press, squats, running, rowing, fireman carry, climbing. Or something like that. This and the log itself should at least be some evidence for or against.
