I understood how to do the workouts (only because I've done TT before, and am familiar with supersets from that program). I remember being confused about it in the beginning myself. Thinking that I should start at A, work through to C, then start over at A for a second/third time OR that I should do A, rest then do B1 twice, then B2 twice, then rest... I messed TT workouts up so much until I finally understood how supersets worked.

I brought the "B" workout of NROL4W to a personal training session at the gym yesterday, and the trainer didn't really "get" the supersets as written either. I had to explain to him what the "A, B, C' sections were, and how to do them. Even then, he didn't have me alternate the B1/B2, B1/B2--he had me do B1 twice in a row, then B2 twice in a row...


I hope that wasn't more confusing than I meant it to be... I understood what you meant in the book, but only because I've blundered through screwing up supersetting before. I was a little dismayed that the trainer I saw didn't really get it...and that he had never heard of Alwyn, or Lou (and warned me to "be careful" about any workout information over the internet/from "just any" source because "anyone can make a website and stick some letters after their names").
