  • Amazing thank you! They've got a current one up now! :laugh:
  • No it is a static lunge on workout A

  • This is SUCH a good idea. I usually slightly rest my bar on the ground between each lift to reset my hand grip so have had to lower the weights for the box! Will try using 2x 5KGs instead of 10KG which is what my weight was at the end of stage 1.

  • People say they think I'm a young looking 25 year old or an old looking 19 year old.... which I think means I look my age (22) :laugh:
  • I have another deadlift question... should I be lowering my weight from what I was using in stage 1?

  • If I had time and I wasn't sore from the day before I would add some cardio in stage 1. Nothing to heavy so that it wouldn't affect the lift days...
  • Sorry I didn't mean to offend you (in fact my intention was the complete opposite)! My personal opinion is that we are not defined by a number on the scale and I've seen plenty of people who have gained weight with this program but looked better. And like I went onto say, you will probably see losses and that's great but…
  • Enjoy! Woodchoppers are my new favourite move!

  • make sure you're not rounding your back.

  • I just rest until I'm recovered on up to a maximum of what's alloted. Ie. if 60 secs I will take anything UP TO 60 secs before my next set.
  • I'd be interested to hear peoples different results. It seems most go to supercharged but as my tummy is my 'problem area' I'm drawn to abs....
  • Lol! I don't think I will ever be able to add the pike to this exercise! I love/hate the jackknife and even after completing S1 I still fall off pretty frequently... plus I use the TINIEST ball. If you have trouble with falling off and your gym has TRX try those. Same exercise but you can't fall off.
  • looking forward to this then! :bigsmile: I saw improvements after 1 week of stage 1! Not major... but better than nothing
  • Ugh. No, you don't NEED both. Throw away the scales, take measurements and before pictures. Measure your progress by how you look and feel. I know how it feels when you've been losing weight and you look forward to the euphoric high of getting on the scales and seeing a lower number each time. With 100lbs+ to loose I would…
  • Yep I finished on basically what you started! :embarassed:

  • Just starting stage 2... would it be a good idea to add HIIT after every workout... not just workout B?
  • LOL! Thats what I thought! DAMN :laugh:
  • IMO the AMRAP isn't worth doing. I think it's just to prove to yourself that you're stronger. I think it's suggested that theyre split but as it's not an essential part of the programme I dont think it matters
  • I got to 77 and got bored. I agree my starting weight was too low. That weight on my back today felt about as easy as body weight squats. I started with 45lbs

  • Yeah I'm skipping 1B AMRAP
    in AMRAP Comment by becca2911 May 2013
  • I did the AMRAP today... I realise it's meant to be AMRAP before failure but my workout was more like AMRAP before I got bored... oh my gosh how dull... squats I got to 77 and felt I could keep going for years so I just gave up! LOL :laugh:

  • I completed Stage 1 on Monday! Here are my gains!!! WORKOUT A Squats 42 ---> 105 (+63lbs) Push Ups Started on toe but for normal push ups ---> Triceps, on knees, but killing them, allll the way to the ground!!!! (sorry I don't know what all the different degree's of push ups are/mean) Bent over Row 37 ---> 70.5 (+33.5lbs)…

  • Yes it's possible but not always a given and not huge losses. Mainly water weight gains from muscles swelling and repairing... I took pictures for comparison and laugh at my scales whenever I get on them

  • I had this problem so I use gloves. I have 2 pairs... a super cute pink pair and a super super cute leopard print pair! They help but I still struggle with heavier dumbbells. Also dumbbells which have a smooth metal handle (so no grip or foam) are still if not more impossible, I stick to the ones with grip.

  • Honestly would put me off signing up....
  • I log it as cardio: 250 calories as thats the number extra calories I'm meant to eat on lift days...
  • Partial to a whey protein shake myself but always find that the bars are loaded with sugar!
