I'm on week two of stage one; I modified a bit by starting out with 10 reps as opposed to 15, but I am totally feeling ferocious and foxy by the time I leave the gym. These workouts are killer but feel so good! Last workout my squats were at 115 and I managed to bump my db shoulder presses up to 25pnd dbs (I think next workout I'll do 27.5pnd dbs and hopefully be up to 30 by the time I take it down to 8 reps).
I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one who's "coping" with eating more calories (now, if we were allowed "crap" calories like cake and cookies I'm sure I'd have no problem adding tonnes extra lol). For years I've eaten restricted low cal, so it's like going against nature for me. I'm not weighing in daily, but will hop on after TOTM to check in on BF and weight (fingers crossed this works well lol!). Just have to remind ourselves that Lou, Alwyn and Cassandra clearly know what they're talkin' about and I should just shut up and eat more cals lol! Doesn't hurt to try at least.
ps: step ups suck when you're 4"10 lol!!
