I'm in! you can friend me too. I've been heavy lifting for a couple years. finished NR4W and NRabs... did a little of Supercharged and now I'm working into stronglifts.
-
i had to giggle at the 'we only have ourselves to blame for designing the torture".... i was telling a friend after my first Basic 3 workout, that it really kicked my butt... then i thought for a moment... 'well, i guess im the one that put it together, so in theroy, i just kicked my own butt" yes. yes we do. and its…

you girls are awesome. thanks so much!
-
that actually makes sense... but for my weight (224) everything that i find in terms of a TDEE calc, they say that with that amoutn to lose, i need to have the deficit at 20% i feel like at this point, im just gonna keep it there and keep losing, while i lift... and once i get down closer to the 180-190s then i can put my…

your hypertrophy looks awesome! seriously... im already not liking high reps during the BT. im only doing the 4 workouts per section of BT. and im already incorporating complexes into my metabolic. I know im jumping a little, but those are actually a lot of fun to do. Im still doing burpees/mt climbers for WA, but then i…

you arent alone... at all. ive always called it my 'dark place'. always seems like when i get hit with something i don't know how to handle, my mind goes into panic mode. the worth of everything just deteriorates. it has been a long time since i've fallen into that place where i had NO hope... but ive felt that feeling…

pikes are HARD! haha nice job! I can do the jackknifes pretty good after a couple rounds of NR... but i tried hte pike, and no lie, i almost sent myself into my fireplace at home!!
-
FINALLY! workout 1 of basic training DONE. i feel silly, since this was my first lift since March 21... but should i be feeling it in my back so much DURING the lift? Im gonna have to youtube all of the forms to make sure im doing them right. Here's the Breakdown: core: Planks: classic 1 min // 43sec with 10sec ea ft…

Your best bet is to just read the book.... it will give you a ton of information on the hows of lifting... and you'll get a much better understanding of how to use what you have.
-
this is going to sound really bizarre but after readin through this entire thread, i feel like i know you and the program already!! i am so anxious to get moving! i was gong to set my start date for Monday, but now im thinking saturday. Why wait!?!? Ill post my design for the first round tomorrow.
-
I feel so late to the game! I ordered the book a couple of months ago, but was delayed in my lifting with the arrival of my son in March. Im jsut starting to get myself back to the gym, and im anxious to get started on this!! Im loving reading all your notes on the workouts and cant wait to get into them and understand…

OMG this was as far as i went too! WTF... dude. c'mon. consult a chick before you write about 'ideal weights'... moron.
-
BUMP BUMP... cuz this post rocks!
-
i vote for free wights squats. honestly machines are just gonna mess you up. the free weights, regardless of how much you put on there is better overall for your body and muscles. you want to do exercises that will work more than just one muscle (which is what the machines do) I've read many times that back issues are…

I am a HUGE new rules fan!! you are NOT silly... i had the same fear when i started NR4W in April of last year. but i completed with flying colors... 5% body fat gone, 30+ lbs, and uncountable inches! I am currently 78lbs lost, with roughly 60 more to go... i finished NR4W and i just started Phase 2 of NR for Abs. they are…

^^^THIS!!
-
looove it!!! haaate the side planks with a beastly passion! but i WILL conquer them! just like i conquered 3 sets of 2min planks. and... planks are NOT the little blue weights of ab exercises. whoever said that, hasnt done planks the way NR makes you do them.
-
I know im not a big 'talker' on the threads... at least not in a while. I did the NR4W... finished it just before this thread was posted, and i apparently havent been on here since. Im so glad to see a thread in this group for the AB ladies! I have been doing parts of the NR4W for the last couple of months, just to…

ok.. on Day 90 my SW was : 243.6 almost one week in: 240.2 so apparently the little talks with yourself really DO help!

Yeah... my little Llama is pretty much a rockstar!! Thanks for all this! I hope i can keep up with it!!

2 questions... 1. Split Squats: does it feel like you are doing a static lunge? or am i doing that completely wrong? 2. does anyone else miss planks? i want to add them in.... which probly isnt a big deal. thoughts? Im doing A2 tommorow.. and im really digging this stage. I love the shorter rest times too.
