Jim Wendler appeals to many different lifters but normally a small demo that appeals to his constant f bomb drops, heavy metal love (music) and more or less challenging the manhood of teens and early 20 year olds. Welcome the concept: N.O.V.
It stands for NORTH OF VAG(ina).
I wasn't sure what to think of this because really the concept was more T-Nation and Elite marketing/showmanship but honestly I just think it is downright disrespectful to females. The ISOM for November displayed YET AGAIN that we have some ladies that are just as intense if not more intense as male lifters. Many know that my wife was a bodybuilder and is currently working on making a comeback into bodybuilding. I watched her do dips with 70 lbs for 10 reps while weighing 126 lbs! I guess if she had a penis should would have done 5 times that amount.
N.O.V. really stands more for an epidemic of just putting down others without thinking. NO THIS ISNT ABOUT BEING POLITICALLY CORRECT. N.O.V. really means "thoughtless labeling" (for marketing purposes?..hmm). The strength world is not about gender. It is about doing your best and taking up the iron in your hands. Having Hello Kitty lifting gloves has nothing to do with it. Let's end this stupidity while giving respect where respect is due.
I like Jim as a lifter and coach...but...N.O.V. is narrow-minded thinking at its best. Let's stop tearing down others to feel better about ourselves.
