YES! My booty is on fire! Lol! Ooo...I forgot to mention that I pr'd on my deadlift on Wednesday! Did my second A today. 3 sets this time!

I didn't do the amraps in stage one. From what I understand, TD basically jut to prove to yourself that you gained strength. And I knew I did so I just moved on:) Chocolate....not sure if I understand your question right but my lower body is MUCH stronger than my upper body! I would like to think that's normal and that…

I did 4b1 yesterday. Did 2 sets again but will do 3 from now on. I got a 24 hr bug earlier in the week so I didn't want to push it. Will be doing 4a2 tomorrow:)

Hi! I'm a fellow military wife doing nrol4w. I just started stage 4 today. Love that you're lifting during a deployment! It's such a good way to get the stressors out!!

Decided to start stage 4 today:) Do y'all do 2 or 3 sets? I just did 2 today. I felt like I pushed myself well enough but I probably could have done a 3rd set in every exercise. I don't think I'll ever be able to do 120 seconds of plank:/ I had finally been able to hit 90! I think it's kinda fun to "redo" a stage. I feel…

Will be starting stage 4 on Monday! :)

Stage 3 is done-zo!!! See ya'll in Stage 4!!

Yes! Last A workout! It was a good one too! Upped my weights in almost everything! I can't believe I'll move on to stage 4 on Friday. Not sure how I feel about doing all of those lunges again though;)

I think the other girls have great advice. I don't really have anything new to add other than I feel you. I'm at the end of stage 3 and I kinda just feel "meh" about my results so far. I know I would probably get better results if I cleaned up my eating a bit though and pushed myself a wee bit harder in some of the moves.…

I can't believe I only have 2 more workouts in this stage! Hoping to bust them out Monday and Wednesday! Lc...you're a beast! (And I mean that as a compliment!)

My legs felt like they were gonna give out at first but after about 15 min it was fine. I think it was smart to hold off on the body matrix though!!

I did 3B2 last Saturday....freaked out b/c I had lost my training logs...they were in my husbands jeans? What the heck?!?! Yesterday I did 3A3...except the body matrix part....had to make it to Spin class:) I'll do that after my intervals tomorrow. Yikes:) Chic....I can bust out the squats and lunges pretty quick but for…

LCU....you are awesome! My numbers are so lame compared to yours! LOL I was suppose to do my second B workout this morning but slept in and chose to go to spin class instead:) I'll get it in tomorrow!

Can I just say that those planks suck? I have no problem getting 90s in my first set but after that I wuss out at 60s. :/ I LOVE the one arm dumbbell snatch but I'm SO weak at this. Like, I can do 15lb great but I could barely get one rep with my left arm trying to do 20lbs. WAIT! My gym has 17.5!! I'll try those next…

Freaking awesome!! WTG! Those are amazing Stage 1 results!!

I normally warm up for 5-10 minutes beforehand and then stretch for 10 afterward:) The workouts do get longer. Even in stage 1 when you start doing 3 sets it started taking me longer!

Kat...I'm so sorry about your Dad:( Why did I not think to add weight to the single leg squats? LOL I just did mine bw.

Finished my first B workout today. Def think I like A better, even if the matrix sucks the life outta me:)

I'm super sore today as well! I didn't wait double what it took me to do the matrix...I just waited until I felt ready to do it again:)

I just started Stage 3 today!

I'm following the New Rules of Lifting for Women program.

What are your measurements like? I don't think you can gain 6 lbs of muscle in that short period of time but if you're losing inches it could just be water retention and muscle swelling or whatever. I've been going up and down 4 or 5 pounds since I started. I just started stage 3 today. Scale is being crazy but I've been…

I completed my first A workout of stage 3 today! Holy smokes am I gonna feel that tomorrow. The matrix SUCKED but was awesome at the same time. haha Lc...I don't normally rest what he has written. I just wait until my heart rate goes down a bit and feel comfortable doing the next exercise!

Those aren't pathetic at all! And you will make gains no problem, I'm sure. Just give it time! I'm 5 foot...135.

I also finished up Stage 2 this morning! Can't wait to start Stage 3! See y'all there! :)

Yum!

I subscribe to emeals, their paleo plan is really good:) I ditto the suggestion about meal 1,2 & 3. Want salmon or steak for your first meal? Go for it! Hang in there. I think we all struggle from time to time.

I only have 3 more lifting days of Stage 2! This stage flew by! NEXT week I'll be on to Stage 3! Yikes! Overall, I'm loving this stage. Workout B is my favorite. I'm def not seeing the gains I did in Stage 1 but that's ok....I still feel like I'm getting stronger!

Girl, I feel you. I typically eat 90% primal (not this week with having guests though! Oops!) I've been yo-yo'ing since I started. It's frustrating. I'd ditch the scale but I'm in a weight loss thingy with some friends. In 2 weeks or so I'll be hiding the scale for a while. Have you been measuring yourself? I have and I've…

I just got a foam roller today and I'm in LOVE! Haha....seriously, I can't wait to make foam rolling a habit. I'm excited to hear its in Supercharged as well!
