Hey MFP world. I am looking for some people that have either done the NROLFW program, are thinking about doing it or are on it now!

Also, if there are in trainers that see this, I have a specific question about whether this training routine will be better than the one that I am already on. I am trying/on the path to lifting heavy already, so I want to make sure that starting a program that seems to be meant for the "barbie lifters" may not be quite right for me.

Happy Friday!

    I started this on Monday. There is an entire group on this site dedicated to it. It's been fun eating 2200 calories a day :laugh: And the workouts are leaving me sore, so I figure that means they're working.

    I just started reading the book and find it very interesting. After my current training program, I am going to give it a try. I've been lifting a couple of months now and I love it! I once was a cardio junkie but now I'm hooked on weights! It really does burn more fat lifting weights than just doing cardio. I try to balance it out. I'm looking forward to starting it.

    Its fun! I have done a Workout A and B from stage 1 and am doing my second A today. I was worried about if it was going to be challenging or not, and it is! Just make sure you start out with heavy enough weights. I messed up my first go around with Squats, deadlifts and lat pull downs. These were all exercises that I was already lifting heavy on and I cut back WAY too much to try to offset the rep increase. I corrected it on the second set and felt way more challenged at the end of the set.
