While I don't know about how he made a name for himself, that has little to do with his workout programs.
The claim that the programs don't have a definable goal is flat out false. AX-1 is intended to improve general athleticism and fitness, and AX-2 improves on it. The TNT add on can be purchased if you want to do additional work on a muscle group.
AX-1 is a well balanced program that gives focus to strengthening supporting muscle groups, which isn't something I've seen in a ton of programs. For example, essentially each week has some form of rotator cuff specific exercise, which I've never seen emphasized.
For other goals, they have a short quiz that will give you a suggestion of the paths to take.
All I can say is AX-1 allowed me to postpone my torn labrum surgery for 3 years, and is very likely why my recovery was half the expected time. During my PT, every prescribed exercise was something I had done in the program. (I got too confident in year 3 and pushed my muscles too hard, which is why I had to finally have it).
"General athleticism and fitness" is not a defined goal.
How long have you been doing his programs and in that time, what have you accomplished?
General fitness and athleticism is absolutely a defined goal. Not everyone works out to body build. I do his program to stay in shape and make getting old suck less.
Plus, that's one program out of like a dozen.
