Hi ladies! Just finished up NROLFW this morning. I'll be looking over my plan for BT I this weekend. My plan is to start on Monday.

Somebody scrape me off the floor... Mission Accomplished. See yall in Supercharged!

Congratulations!! Well done, Cowgirl, well done. Your results are fabulous. See you on the Supercharged board in a few days!

7W5 is done. One to go! Ive decided not to go through round 2. Im really looking forward to adding some weight to my squats and throwing some additional work to get my first real chin up in the mix. Time to move on to Supercharged on Monday. I cant wait!!!

Still plugging along. Finished 7W4 this morning. Not sure Im going to go for round 2. Supercharged is really calling my name...

Cowgirl and Ali, its good to see you both again! I wasnt going to start Stage 7 until Monday, but last night I realized I need to have my daughter to the pediatrician for suture removal in the morning. Then I have to see my ortho for my wrist in the afternoon. That wouldnt leave me any time for the gym. :frown: Screw that.…

Oh my goodness Stage 6 is finally over for me. Four rounds of antibiotics, then out of control asthma, then I screwed up my wrist (again). Wrist is still in disrepair, but its workable. Im moving on. Stage 7, Ill see you Monday morning.

Another vote for this one in Chocolate. I just mix mine with cold water.

Kmsairam - Yup, you read it right. It's 10 sets x 2 reps. on the UGLP. I feel like Im hoggin the machine too, but wait until you get to the 15 sec rest between sets and it will FLY by. Anywho, welcome to the Stage 6 board! :) Controversial - I dont have an answer for you, I just wanted to welcome you to Stage 6 and wish…

Alli, way to go girlie! I lied, I had 6B4, 6A5, 6B5 to go. (Did 6B4 today.) With any luck (and lots of health!) I will finish this week and see you over on the Stage 7 board next week. Best wishes to you and I cannot WAIT to join you over there!!!!

Yeah for you Alli!!! I think Id be alright with my times too if Id just moved. You'll have to look for the rest of us when we join you over on the Stage 7 thread. Ebay - Sounds like a good plan with the neg chin and the weights. I will probably not finish Stage 6 until next week even though I only have one each of A and B…

Alli - You did it!!! A whole 6 seconds is freaking awesome!! Congrats!! Cowgirl - 4 seconds of pure control...good for you! Im feeling better. Still cant shake this crap out of my head/hear well out of my right ear, but at least my energy and appetite (for the most part) have returned. I can deal with the rest. Thank you…

Happy to help. Looking forward to your report this evening! :wink:

At the risk of sounding like a huge jerk, Id say psyching yourself out is probably the biggest part of your issue. Make this neg. chin your *****! Im not using a machine either, frankly Im not sure a machine is the brightest idea. If it were, dont you think they would have mentioned it in NROLFW? Im not super lean, Im…

Daggum head/ear still wont drain, but Im tired of letting precious time slip through my fingers. My chest is 95% clear and Ive regained most of my everyday strength so off to the gym I went! I finished 6B3 and it was a stronger workout than I anticipated. I was able to up every single one of my weights. Im curious to see…

Just dropping in to say hello and see how you gals are doing this week. Cowgirl, I dont know how you get anything done working out next to the childcare! Id be more worried about what's going on with my kids than what Im supposed to be doing. Kudos to you for having the focus to hone in on what you need to be doing at the…

Wanted to wish you ladies lots of luck this week! I probably wont make it to the gym until Friday or Monday at the earliest. I have an upper respiratory infection I just cant seem to shake. Went to the doc this morning and Im on round 2 of antibiotics. Since Im moving at a turtle's pace to avoid horrid coughing fits and…

I know its hard. Honestly, the fear you experience during that very first workout is the very hardest part of this program. However, the feeling that rushes over you after you OWN it....oh buddy...its worth it. Why the heck do you think Im still here in Stage 6?

Non lifting days my cal intake is 1600 and lifting days my cal intake is 1966. Ive taken the slight decrease talked about in the book (I forget how it was worded...-200 or -300 cal maybe??). Ive still steadily lost weight and/or inches as Ive gone through the program. I am currently on Stage 6. My advice, play by the book…

The absolute hardest workout out in the book is the very first one. The rest are a piece of cake in comparison. Put on your brave face...you got this. :wink: PS - I found Youtube super helpful in trying to figure out some of the lifts. Also, JP Fitness Forums has been a fantastic resource.

I got my 20 sec neg chin today!! Subsequent ones were 12sec and 10 sec. Saw some huge gains in the push up dept too. I was able to do ONE completely unassisted push up. Boobs to the floor, proper form and back up. Stupid for most at this point in the game, but this is a ghost Ive been chasing for a loooong time. I finally…

No hang, just lowering as soon as you stop swinging. You want the entire lowering process to take you 20 seconds. Its brutal! ETA: Glad to see you around again!

Hey Cowgirl, glad to see you made it over here! Those neg. chins are no joke! They sure left me sore too. The good new is I wasnt nearly as sore after the second go, just like everything else. Cant wait to see how much progress you make with them on 6A2!

6B2 is done! Nothing spectacular to report. Looking forward to the neg chin on Fri and hoping for another increase in time!

I think 6 seconds is pretty darn good! You are right, lots of room for improvement, but I dont think 6 seconds is skimpy! Nice work!

Yippeee!! More life over here! Finished 6A2 this morning. Held the neg chin for 14 sec on the first go this time. Then 10 sec and 7 sec on subsequent sets. Threw some squats in at the end just for giggles and still made it out of the gym in under an hour and 15 minutes. Still seems so strange!

Get it done and get over here! Its lonely in this thread! Stage 6 workouts are so short in comparison to 5. I kept checking my log and checking the book to make sure I didnt copy anything wrong and leave something out.

Did 6B1 today. Loved it! So short and sweet, yet still kicked my backside. Got a good laugh out of myself with the reverse lunge with the dumbbell on the shoulder. I expected the burn to come from the legs like most lunge exercises. WRONG! My arm (holding the dumbbell) and my midsection were on FIRE!!! My legs could have…

Hi Ladies! Started stage 6 today and was genuinely shocked. First go at the neg. chin up was 10 seconds. This was just me, a chair and the bar. No machine, no assistance. I thought for sure Id just drop like a rock. Subsequent attempts were 9 seconds and 6 seconds. Still better than I expected. UGLP was still a…

Ended up coming down with the flu. Still not 100%, but managed to finish Stage 5 today. Time to move on to Stage 6.
