Hello, please keep in mind i have knee injury and changed to a new gym in the middle of this so i had to make due with the exercises, some are exercises i do in place of things like :lunges, cable row etc.

    All I can tell you is I had similar progress. Overall doing nrol4w I gained about three pounds and some inches all over. What are your goals? Are you trying to gain strength or lose weight? You're obviously making progress so I wouldn't be too worried about changing anything unless you're not achieving your goal.

    You may also want to post your question in nrol4w group on here, see how people at the same stage as you are doing.

    Are you doing the right exercises, I don't remember seeing calf raises in Stage 1?

    I posted this in NROL4W too. It sounds like you're eating at maintenance or maybe barely above. However, the inches lost in your hips is a definite sign of progress as is the fact that your BF% is down per the military calculator. Since you're not too worried about the scale maybe just keep doing what you're doing for another month and see what happens. Or cut cals by 100 or 200 a day for a month and see how your body adjusts. Personally, I found that the 300 cal deficit in the book worked well, but it wasn't as large of a deficit percentage wise as it would be for you. Keep lifting!
