Jamie Eason's 12 week Live Fit for current lifter?

think48

Has anyone who has been lifting heavy done Jamie Eason's 12 week plan and gotten good results? I have done the NROLFW and am currently training for a half marathon (one month left). I think her plan looks really good, but I'm wondering if the beginning phases just won't be enough for me? I've been lifting heavy for about 12 months now. Any opinions on the workouts/plan/diet?
Thanks!

It does seem to be targeted more toward beginners. Perhaps her Burning the Fat Program would be better suited to your needs? http://www.bodybuilding.com/guides/female-20to39-fat-loss/intro

I got good results from the Bizzy Diet Fitness Plan: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/the-bizzy-diet.html

I LOVE Jim Stoppani's Shortcut to Size program. It increases strength immensely, but it looks like you're looking for marathon preparation rather than strength at the moment. http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/shortcut-to-size.html

I would wait to start Live Fit until you are done training for your marathon since phase 1 has no cardio. I think it's suited for all levels just lift weight that is appropriate for you. I was doing some lifting before I started but I didn't have specific splits or training schedule, and I'm about to finish week 12. Next I'll be doing the bizzy diet to cut down some more fat before possibly repeating Live Fit or another bodybuilding.com program.

You don't need to change lifting routines to lose fat, nor do you need to change at random for no reason, nor are any of the routines on the bb.com super site appropriate for a novice lifter, if anyone.

Im on day 46 of the live fit trainer, I love the way i feel, I have always been into working out and I lifted before LiveFit so the first month I didn't see much results like a beginer would and without cardio and eating more I did gain about 3lb but by Phase 2 you add in cardio and the workouts are more intense the 3lb came off and I can definetely see more muscle tone. I know that I am stronger- I keep track on the printable worksheets for every workout. I have not missed a day of training but the diet I did motify- some days when I was on the run I would have a whey protein shake insted of the egg whites.

Advice: I would start on Phase 2 if you have already been lifting.

Has anyone finished it? Id love the hear what you tought of phase 3.
