I've had the book for a year but didn't actually get around to reading it until now. I'm going to start with Phase 1 on Monday and am excited to see the kind of gains in strength/muscle I get, as well as the potential fat loss it might help bring on.

Has anyone else tried the program? Thoughts, good or bad? Would love to hear your perspective on it!

    You mean New Rules of Lifting for Women?

    I read the book. Nice read, good info. The program is not for me. It's good though.

    I do an Upper/Lower split-a hybrid of power lifting and hypertrophy training. The reason I didn't want to do NROL4W was because there wasn't the level of power lifting I enjoy, and there was a lot of "fluff"/isolation work that I just don't find beneficial for me in a deficit or fat loss mode.

    Gotcha. Yeah, I'm definitely new(er) to lifting, though I've been doing it on my own for about 3 months without a specific program, so I figured following something like this would be a good place to start. Who knows, maybe I'll make it to your level someday :D

    It's a great place to start! I do love the book.
