As I mentioned in a previous post, I got half way through the NROL4W last year, but got bored and couldn't stick with it. However, I did like the results I was getting and have vowed to start from scratch next week.

Would anyone like to do this with me??? Having someone at the same stage to remain accountable to sure would be motivational!

    I know next to nothing about this program -- but the book is supposed to arrive on my doorstep tomorrow sometime. I'm hoping to get started soon, though I don't know if next week will be *too* soon or not... again, since I haven't had a chance to actually explore the book yet. I might be willing, though, as I want to get in to lifting. :smile:

    I will! I didn't buy the book but I have the workout plans and will be lifting MWF. I'd love a lifting buddy :-)

    Yay! Angie and I are starting soon, and Lumeth, please let me know if you are interested too. Even if we are a workout or two off, we all will still be on the same phase at the same time.

    Also, Angie, you may want to consider buying the book at some point - he has lots of good tips!

    I'm game for starting next week! I started it about a month ago but then never really got going since I was lacking equipment at home. We have gym memberships now though and I'm ready to get going for real, though I'm a bit apprehensive since I have very very little strength training experience other than using machines.

    Hi!

    I've scheduled myself to start Monday. Also lifting MWF. I just finished insanity and now want to get STRONG!
    I need to read the workout portion of the book, and to be honest it seems, slightly confusing itd be amazing to have others to keep up with and ask questions

    I'm starting today. I'm a bit nervous because I have no idea how to use the squat rack, I mean I'm sure its self explanatory, but I'm still scared. Lots of bulky guys around...Eeek

    I would love to join too. Where did you find the workout plans? I can't seem to find them on the internet. Thanks

    Hi all... I am planning to start Monday and lift M/W/F as well - so I'd love to be a part of a supportive team, all going though it together. :)

    Room for one more?

    Make that two more!
    I am starting Monday and thinking I'll do MWF. That might change to Sun, Tues, Thurs at some point though.
    I don't currently have the funds to buy the book, but found the workouts and read what I could online.
    I will hopefully have someone show me around the gym for my first time Monday morning, otherwise I'll be lost. Kinda scared of the weights section TBH.

    I started today. I can't afford another book right now either. I found the worksheets online too. I started weight training in Jan. I was working out with a friend to get me started. I'm happy to say 1A1 wasn't too hard. I'm looking forward to 1B1 tomorrow. I have't decided my workout days yet but my plan is 5 days a week. With that said, I will be doing nrol4w more than the recommended 3 days. Gool luck everyone :flowerforyou:

    Question: I assume that when the reps decrease I should increase the weight?


    TIA

    I'm doing Sat or Sun (weekends are tricky for me and it'll be about when I can get the time to do it) and then Tuesdays and Thursdays. These days work because it'll allow me to do either weekend day and still have it be 48 hours minimum between lift days :) I started last night at home since we've all been sick here and there was no way I was getting out to the gym. I couldn't do step ups though since I don't have anywhere to do them at home, so I just did some lunges instead.
