    AMRAP is optional (one time) at the end of Stage 1. If you want, you can do AMRAP on the 5 moves in Workout A one day, using the weights you started with on day 1 to see how much easier it is at the end. Then at least 2 days later, you could do AMRAP on the 5 moves in Workout B (also using the same weights you start with).

    That makes sense. I totally didn't get that from the book. Misunderstanding!!! :flowerforyou:

    The other thing that REALLY helped me was taking a blank wall calendar and writing in the workouts for the month. ;-)
    I had to put it in a spreadsheet myself to make sense of it!

    *Make sure you do "print preview" before you print, to make sure that everything fits on the page...you *might* have to slide the cells closer together to get it all to fit on the page.

    Thank you!!!!

    Bump!

    I'm starting the book this weekend. I'm sure I'll be just as confused as everyone else seems to be. lol

    I'm not a book editor or publisher, but I'm thinking that before this book went to print they should have had a focus group read it to find out if the layout of the workouts made sense to everyone. Sounds like the majority of readers are confused. However, people who stick with it have seen results. So maybe it's supposed to be a workout for the body AND MIND? :happy:
