  • Well weigh in today and I gained 3lbs :frown: it's my own fault eating to much :grumble: So with one week to my wedding I've put my cals at 1600 and will up them for workouts. Need to eat clean for clear skin. Last heavy lifting day will be on Saturday. Then I'll do some lifting at home with my DBs and maybe add some…
  • Beeps - I totally understand how you feel - that is exactly the reason I started NROL4W too! And 4 months in not that much of a difference, I feel the muscle but I'm still "the same". But, like you say Beeps this is a lifestyle change and maybe for us it will just take a little longer :smile: Today was my 2nd workout B of…
  • Welcome to stage 4 Steph - definitley struggling with the 120s planks too and as for the cobras for me 60s is a challange :tongue: Maggie - I don't think it makes you a bad person, it does say 2/3 sets afterall. I try to cut my rest periods to cut time is that bad??? Happy lifting :bigsmile:

  • Well I'm here ladies :happy: done my first workout A . Decided to do 3 sets and started with my finishing weight from stage 2. Think I could definitely up the weight for next time! Although really stuggling to hit 120s only managed two 90s and completely collapsed on the 3rd at 60s I was shaking so much. So need to build…

  • Lost 1lb! yeah! at last! Still struggling on upping the protein and lowering the carbs - anybody any suggestions, my diary is open. Cheers.
  • Ooo I like this! Might try it next time :drinker: My upper arm bends too on the overhead squat - think it may be due to flexibility. I remember reading in the book about how your tendons or something are all connected. Think it's just a natural thing for me. sarah2002 - The way I think about the one arm snatch is to slowly…
