Hi Lili - I forgot my form when I did 1b5 DLs which went up to 70 lbs x 3 x 8 for me. I didn't feel anything wrong at first but felt funny (hard to describe) while trying to sleep and then had a sore back the next day. it's been healing throughout the week and I hope to get back to the DLs on Saturday. I really think I…

Hi everyone. My lower back is mostly better today after babying it and having a mothers day massage. I was supposed to do 1a6 today but did a few test runs on the different moves and decided just to keep it at push ups and rows this time. In two more days I will try agai . Tomorrow night is zumba. So much fun! Happy…

Hi everyone - I have held off posting until I was more confident about sticking with NROL - yesterday finished 1b5 and it was really feeling tired today - moving up to three sets really made a big difference in effort. I started this once before, last year but never made it this far. I'm looking forward to getting to stage…

Greetings everyone. I am little over half way through phase one. Just completed 5a and b. I tried this before last year but was derailed by a sad life event. Last year I was very nervous about using the squat rack around the guys. This year I don't care as much - just a little twinge. :). This year I am more worried about…

Cross country skiing all day. About 6 to 8 ours would burn 3600 calories. But you need to eat Extra too so you probably wouldn't lose the whole pound

I just finished day 4 of stage 1. I like workout b better than A. Usually Monday's at the gym are really crowded, especially near the squat rack and free weights. I think people are starting to spend more time outside instead since it stays light later. Thank goodness it was pretty quiet. Does anyone here have problems…

Congrats new me. That is excellent progress!

I just started over too. Due to a family crisis I couldn't work out for 3weeks. Finally went to start over stage and could definitely tell I had lost some progress. Ugh. Oh well I plan to get through stage one this time

I had the most intense cravings during the first two weeks. To get through that I have a lot of 'mouth distractions' to help out including...pre chopped up veggies, drinking hot water or tea, chewing gum, halls cough drops, instant miso soup and pickles. if I crave something -which is different than being hungry- I try one…

Stage 1 workout B from new rules of lifting for women. And some warm up on the elliptical

3000+ while cross country skiing all day. Probably 1000 max at the gym by doing an hour cardio class like zumba or advanced step followed by an hour group strength or kickboxing. I've also burned a lot by a 5 hour hard hike but not sure how much.

8 more pounds unless I convert fat to muscle, and Lose inches instead of pounds. Would like to get bf% down to the mid to low 20s. The plan is nrol4w now and eating more, after losing 16 pounds with lots off cardio and 1200/1400 Cals a day

Hi everyone. Third week of stage one completed and I can already can see some body changes in my arms and more muscley obliques (both still under some body fat but I can see/feel the changes). I upped my calories too 1500/1750 for this program and have been really nervous about that. today I braved the scale and have lost…

I started with 30pounds for squats and made ift to 45 on 1a3 so far. For dead lifts I've done 50 60 and 70 so far. The 45 bar IS heavy. Just start where you can. I am having alot of trouble Oly bar on the squat rack if it's down on the floor from someone's deadlifting

I use the aerobic bench and 5 risers each side for step ups. It's really sturdy

Doing both

Just finished 2nd week of stage 1. I started squats with the curl bars, first 30 then 40. This week I faced the squat rack and went for the oly bar and did my 2 sets of 12. My problem was setting the rack up for squats. I got the hooks on and the safety bars on but I could not get the Oly bar on the hooks. I was too weak…

Hi everyone and thanks for the invite. I am Karen and I'm 53. I've been working hard on mfp and at the gym for the last 8 months to recover my body from a travel job where I ate and drank way too much and slept too little. I live in California, have a few kids, step kids and grand kids. I have lost 15 pounds since starting…

Roseville

Count me in. 53 here

I just finished 1a2. I'm at 40 for squats 60 for deadlift and 70 for rows.

Please invite me too ! I just started my 2nd week

On our lat machines the numbers go 10 20 30 40 etc. With 10 being the top bar in the stack. The weight where you put the pin in is the total weight you would lift. Same with seated row. Is it possible tompost a pic of what you are seeing?

Hi everyone. I have been lurking for a while, getting ready to start this program. Monday I finally did it so now i've done through 1a2. For shakes we have the Oster personal blender which is kind of like the magic bullet only cheaper. The blender container doubles as the drink container so it's super easy to use and toss…

Hi everyone. I still have to hit the introduction thread. I also started stage 1 Monday and did 1b1 tonight. I started with a 30 lb barbell squat on 1a1 and went up to 40lbs tonight. I did a trial run with the oly bar and the squat rack a few weeks ago so I'll be going up to that on next Wednesday. I'm a little nervous…

My diary is open - I'm just starting to try to get protien counts up - i eat eggs, chicken, protien bars and sometimes do a protien drink. Last night ate an extra can of tuna and I have a bag of raw almonds in my drawer at work. It's still hard.

Same here. First time 30lbs * 15. Can't wait to have some real numbers to brag about

53 here. Feel free to add me
