  • Here's that video about bar placement: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCIO1uR0hW0 And another helpful one, about how to get under the bar in the first place (if you're not using weight plates big enough to lift the bar off the floor enough for you to slide under): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuEjyvfZuFk

  • I started and did workout A today. It went pretty well. I'm pretty out of shape right now but did full sets on everything. Didn't go through the whole stretching routine, just most of it. It takes a long time as it is.

  • Violet and others, I'm sorry you're going through this. It's unfortunate that people are so judgmental. But maybe the best approach is to do what they're not and give them the benefit of the doubt. A LOT of people are operating under incredibly outdated information about fitness. Just like in past decades people thought…

  • Hi, everyone! So much going on here. First of all, my sincerest admiration to those who homeschool -- and all moms. You ladies are incredibly dedicated. Jewel, congratulations on your wedding and honeymoon. Sounds like you enjoyed it. PearlMullet, thanks for your input on calories. I'm finding that if I don't eat out or…

  • Congrats, Runz! That's terrific improvement. Kathleen, I'm impressed by your consistency. That's not easy to do. No workout for me today (aside from a little walking and two hours of motorcycling). But tomorrow I'll be back in the gym for 2A. Still pretty sore from the last two workouts, especially in my back. Love that…

  • Hi, everyone! Looks like it's going to pour here in New York City but hubby is determined to show me a lake he found out in the country... and we're getting there on our motorcycles. It's not far, thankfully, and the rain isn't supposed to start until the afternoon. Anyway, I'm pleased with the number on the scale this…

  • Just want to chime in and add my voice to the New Rules chorus. It will change how you think of fitness completely and I think you'll be really happy with the results. You look fabulous, no question. And if you want to look more athletic and raise your metabolism, a workout regimen based on heavy lifting is the way to go!

  • I'm a vegan! A year and half into it, after 13 years of being vegetarian and having a deep-seated love of cheese, ice cream, and LOTS of baked yummy things with egg in them. Never been happier, never been healther.

  • Hi, everyone! Thanks for the warm welcomes. Kathleen, I'm really impressed with what you've done. Cowgirl, have a great workout! Sam, I had a similar experience: home from the gym at 9:30, zonked out by 10:00 (pretty early for me). It's a good feeling, isn't it? Beeps, how's the vision today? clearer? Made it to the gym…

  • Hi, ladies, Just want to chime in and say thanks for the inspiration! I've been following this thread for a few days and am now committed to starting the program after work *today*! I'm a repeat offender with starting and stopping. Last time wasn't that long ago so I'm starting at stage 2 (for the second time). Can't wait…

  • Good morning everyone, I started my second attempt at this program a few weeks ago, and am now up to Stage 1, workout 6B today and feeling good. Last time I got halfway through Stage II and then stopped for what was, for a change, a very good reason. Now I'm back at it and I actually am stronger than last time, and last…

  • Megan, I'm a stickler like that, too. I want to do everything by the book. But I just try to remember that the book allows for some flexibility. For example, Schuler doesn't say how much weight we should be lifting, just how many workouts, sets and reps. So if you've done that, you've graduated that stage. Time for the…
    in Anyone go thru Stage 1 a second time? Comment by Nadiataha December 2012
  • Wow, I'm right there with you, though I'm doing my first AMRAP workout tonight. But other than the last item, your list of things you learned mirrored mine exactly! It's awesome that you made such progress, too.
    in Stage 1 Comment by Nadiataha June 2012
  • Well done, both of you!! I'm so glad to hear that people are having success with the program, even if they have to alter it a little. I'm doing my first Stage 1 AMRAP today so I'm in roughly the same place, although I've been at it for 7 weeks instead of 6. FunBun, I agree about loving Stage 1. I never put off a workout…

  • Beeps, I'm so glad to hear this about your upper body. Sounds absolutely awesome and I can't wait to follow in your footsteps and have killer arms!! I've been flexing and asking friends to feel my biceps since State 1 A1 ;-) I'm only 3 workouts into stage 1 now but this morning when I put my jeans on (thank you, casual…

  • Hi there, I just realized I'm on the same schedule as you are. I'm doing 2A tomorrow also. So far I really love it -- I'm sore and it's forcing me out of my comfort range by pushing me into what I think of as the "big boy weight room" :) So far I've only done it during off-peak hours when there's not as many people to…
