That trainer needs to go find another job! You will not bet bulky! Start lifting now! I started with New Rules Of Lifting for Women-great book and program! The program is 6 mon. long, so you will have what to do for a long time. I suggest whatever you pick to do, do compound lifts and learn proper. Free, heavy weights did…

Let's not forget all variations of hip thrusts as well. The heavier the better! Step ups or step downs as well.

I didn't even use the workout logs in the book. I used a note book so I can keep everything together. It was easier for me. Like Tessa said make sure you have the right form on squats. I never used a spotter. I use a squat rack or power rack. When I first started the program i was doing squats with DBs. I'm done with the…

Like someone already said, the bar should be resting on your shoulders when you do front squat. The fingers are there so that you can grab the bar when you are ready to push press it. Keep your elbows up the whole time for the squat and when you are almost at top , roll the bar in your hands and push press it. Keep trying…

Count me in! We have a family reunion this July.

Have you tried doing them from a box- the non working leg will be off to the side of the box and as you get better try to keep that non-working leg higher and higher.

I use Converse too. Why did someone suggest you change shoes?

Don't give up! Start somewhere-where you feel comfortable and build up. I don't even remember what was in Stage 2, but you can do it! On the lunges start with your feet wider and then go down as low as you can-build up from there.1-point row-start with lighter weight. You can do it! Don't give up!

Hi. Stick with the cals. you are eating now and do the program for few weeks-4. Then you can adjust the cals. if you need to. But give it few weeks before you start adjusting. Good luck to you!

Thank you both!

Stage 7 of NROL4W was fat loss for me!!:) All jokes aside, I think you will be better off twicking your diet and sticking to a normal program. If you want to do more circuit type program, check myohmytv.com. You also can look into barbell complexes. Good luck to you!

I copied this from another thread-Steve Troutman's http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/373801-two-day-full-body-strength-training-routine I was recently asked via email for some suggestions about a 2 day strength training routine. I generally don't get into specific programming since that's what my customers pay me for…

Yesterday's totals: Deadlifts 10 sets, 10 reps, 135 lbs- 13,500 lbs. That was easy math! :)

I'll play!! I'm doing NROLFAbs, on stage 2, almost done with it. I finished NROLFW earlier this year. This is a modified WO A-pressed for time.:) Half Kneeling Cable Chop-1x20x50- 1,000 lb. BOR with DBs-1x8x40 and 2x8x45-1,040 lb. Back Squat-105 lbx7,115 lbx8-1,655 lb. DL 155 lbx8, 175 lbx7, 195 lb.x4, 200lb. x2- 3,645lb.…

Heavy squats, deads, glute bridges, hit thrusts, glute-ham raises,lunges, step ups, swings. All those turned my flat *kitten* in to a rounded *kitten*.

I love KBs and use them all the time! I used to hurt my arms with the cleans. With time and proper form things got better. I used to wear the sweat bands on my wrists too. But also I bet the adjustable one is the problem too.

Hi and welcome tot he group! Let's say you work out on Mo, Wed, Fri. You will do first week A1, B1, A2. Second week you will do B2,A3,B3 and so on. In the book it says Workout 1,2 to indicate that for A1,A2, B1,B2 you do 15 reps. Workout 3,4, you do A3,A4,B3,B4 with 12 reps and so on. I hope this helps.

I love Moving Comfort!

Don't be scared! Go in there and show all the boys how it's done!! :) I didn't know what to do either, but faked it. Now just go in there and do my thing. I finished the program around March of this year. Doing NROLFAbs right now. Don't be scared of the cals. Try at maintenance and see how things go for 4 weeks. Then…

I love my cardboard with PB, cocoa powder and banana! Yummy! :)

Congrats on finishing! I haven't done two rounds back to back, just wanted to say Congrats!:)

I'm 5'8" and 153 lbs. My TDEE is 2007. I choose lite exercise -1-3 workouts a week. I do 3 heavy lifting days-I'm doing NROLFAbs right now. Sometimes I do kettlebells in between-1 day lately and the rest of the days I don't do much. I'm a stay at home mom with kids at school, so mostly hose work and errands, but not much…

You can also try to put your feet in the TRX loops and try it that way. It gets better with the SB with time.

You should try the higher number for 4 weeks and see how things go for you. After 4 weeks, you can go down to 2217 if you don't like whats going on on the 2464 cals. Or you can start with 2217 cals. and adjust after 4 weeks. If you are maintaining on that number and your goal is to loose , then cut down 200 cals. and see…

I think the inverted row will be a pretty good sub for the lat pulldowns.

Older or not still a great, awesome post!! :)
