It depends on whom. If you are someone who works out constantly, and needs the push to get past a plateau, its great. 6 weeks and you achieve a lot. Its still a lot of pain. But at the end, its what you may need. Are there some that use it as a way to cheat? Of course. Just like diet pills, fad diets and such. You can't paint everyone with the same brush. This is like saying all conservatives are retarded, or all liberals love Obama, or all gun owners are crazies who want to arm every teacher with an AR15. Its situational.
