Has anyone done or is doing the ...The new rules for lifting for women

lavrn03

I am reading the book and hope to start my new routine on Monday.
Any advice??
I have been lifting for 6 months 3X a week I'm no pro but not a complete novice either. I currently do pull/push/leg days. I also have been adding in a lot more lunges, squats, jumps, planks as I have gone along,

Should I start at stage one? And if so should I only do a few weeks and move on? I'm not a beginner. I don't want to lose the strength I've built up.

Another question: if I do program MWF. Would it be okay to cont my TTH routine of running? One day I do intervals of speed and another I try to run 3.2 miles. I want to do my 1st 5k race soon.

Can't answer your question, but want to point you to the NROLW group here on MFP

Thanks just joined. Wow it was started in 2011 so a lot to read thru.

I am in Stage 1 (round 2), but I was pretty much a novice when I began. I like his plan because every workout is "full body" and not divided into "leg day..." etc. That puts less pressure on me to lift every other day, so when I lift HEAVY and need an extra rest day, I know that I'll still be working everything that needs to be worked. I hope that makes sense! Since I've been in round 2, I've also been doing squats and deadlifts at every workout.

So for workout 1, it says squats. Which squat workout listed do you do? Just pick one?
