    Hey guys, glad to hear you're finding this information useful. And yeah, it's an older thread, but the post would still apply to many.

    Great info :) this is similar to strong lifts 5x5

    Thank you, I lift at the gym Monday and Thursday so this information really helps. I am doing a combination or strong lift and New Rules for Life, but I think that your posting will be very beneficial.

    I need to Google some of the exercises because I am not familiar with all of them, and I do need to modify many things due to knees and shoulder problems.

    Thanks again.

    I've never done strength training, so none of this makes sense to me. Can you recommend something in writing (with illustrations) explaining all these moves? Thanks!

    This is similar to The New Rules of Lifting for Women, although it is recommended to do a full body 3x week if possible. :smile:

    I can't say that I've ever actually look at what strong lifts 5x5 entails. But I think you'll find many similarities between programs that are a) quality and b) earmarked for the same goals.

    You're welcome... feel free to fire any questions you have my way.

    Writing and illustrations? Why not video? If you google any one of those moves, you'll find more videos than you can shake a stick at.

    Haven't read this either. I read the first NROL way back when. I stopped supporting the Cosgroves when I realized they're more into marketing than they are pumping out solid information. Plus they stole/plagiarized Lyle McDonald, whom I consider a friend... and that's not cool.

    Great info. I'm trying to get off the machines and into free weights. I read NROL for life. It seemed way complicated. I'm reading starting strength it seems less complicated but the book is long. I may just hire a trainer.

    As always, you are an excellent source of information. Thank you.

    Thanks so much for the great information!

    If you're still ok taking questions, wondering about your thoughts on this... For me to stay on track motivationally, and in terms of scheduling and habit, I like daily, 30-40 min home workouts (Mon-Fri) best. (This helps me with non-exercise, psychological stuff too.)

    I prefer whole-body sequences, and basically 'metabolic' work. I've got body composition goals, though, much like the poster you suggested should try progressive loading. (Am at goal weight, prob 22-26% bf, wanting to get leaner).

    Is there a way to square my preference for daily full-body workouts and my goals, in terms of loading/reps? Eg,

    Mon - Heavy day, 2-3 x 4-8 reps)
    Tues - Bodyweight only (burpees etc)
    Wed - Light day: 2-3 x 15-20 reps
    Thurs - BW only
    Fri - Medium" 2-3 x 12-15

    Thanks again for your posts!
