in Getting Started
I know I may sound stupid, but after reading this book in the workout section, I got pretty much confused.... Somebody please help me! I'm starting next Monday, so I want to make sure I'm understanding things right... Stage One workout A seem so less for me (previous I've been lifting upper body without a proper schedule, and so I don't know if I'm doing them too much or what per day).

1. What does it mean "Workout 1"; does it mean one day (for example: monday)= workout 1, wednesday= workout 2?
2. In Stage One, Squat is which one? Going to the page 157, there are so many squat routines, like the barbell, partial single-leg squat, dumbbell single-arm overhead squat... am i supposed to do them ALL for this Squat Section A thing?!!!
Thank you!
I also need some friends who is starting or doing new rules of lifitng... anyone willing to let me add as a friend incase I have some questions?

    I'm doing NROLFW, feel free to add me if you'd like.

    1. Each stage has two sets of workouts, A and B. You'll do each a total of 8 times. Grand total of 16 workouts in the stage. So this week:
    Monday: A, workout 1 (2 sets of 15 reps)
    Wednesday: B, workout 1 (2 sets of 15 reps)
    Friday: A, workout 2 (2x15)

    Next week Monday: B, workout 2
    Wednesday A, workout 3 (2x12)
    Friday B, workout 3 (2x12)

    And so on, until you're up to B, workout 8. Then you do the "special workout". Then you move on to stage 2.

    In stage 1, you're just doing the basic squat shown on page 157. You don't even need to use weights if you're unsure of your form. When the program calls for you to do the other special squats, it will specifically use those names.

    Good luck!
