Finally finished and plan on doing the AMRAP next week. I posted this on the NROLFW group board, but it kind of got lost in the shuffle.


Workout A

Squats: Dumbbell =25 lbs to Barbell Squats: 105 lbs

Push Ups: On kitchen counter to Floor (I did have to go on my knees for 1 set though)

Dumbbell Rows: 25 lbs to 31 lbs (added little weights) I just realized that I didn't bump this up like I could have.

Step Ups: 20 lbs 12 inches to 40 pounds 9 inches (had to go lower because I started working out in our basement and I can't go to high or I will bump my head.)

Jackknife: Couldn't do them, did alternatives to do them semi with help with legs up on a angled seat.

Workout B

Dead lift: Dumbbells: 25lbs each hand to Barbell: 75lbs (actually used a curl bar)

Shoulder Press: Dumbbells: 15lbs to 25 lbs.

Lat Pull-down: Only have exercise bands but went from wide using handles to wide twisted and up higher.

Lunges: Dumbbells 25lbs both hands to Barbell: 75 lbs

Exercise Ball Crunches: Started at 8 no weight to 15 with 35 pound weight.

I will be taking my measurements on Monday. My weight went from 171 to 167.

    It's actually just a book.

    I don't even use the book to follow, because there are workout logs to use.

    Awesome job and so inspiring! I am hoping to get the book this week.

    How did you know what weights to start with and is there reps involved, or only one set to failure?

    I had to guesstimate, to be honest.

    It starts out this way:

    2 sets 15 Reps
    2 Sets 12 Reps
    3 sets 10 Reps
    3 sets 8 Reps

    The abs go the opposite as far as reps, start at 8 end at 15.

    I did my AMRAP(As many reps as possible) for each workout this week. That is where you do as many reps as possible with the weight you first started at.

    I was encouraged by Workout A, but my lunges on workout B frustrated me.

    OH>>> we are supposed to do it with the weight we started with? not the finishing weights?
    i already did AMRAP A stage 1.. but i guess i didn't reread the section before doing it.. I did it with my ending weights.


    Off to re-read.. and AMRAP B stage 1 tomorrow.

    Nope, 2 sets per move each workout. Then when you get down to 10 and 8 reps, they go up to 3 reps.
