Thank you! I'm getting slowly closer to those elusive chin ups/pull ups...god, it's like the holy grail.

I feel like I'm doing really well on this program, and honestly haven't felt this confident and happy with my body since probably before I hit puberty. I was thinking over the summer after I finish NROL4W and have a lot of free time I'm going to do Alwyn's Afterburn program to get rid of any fat I don't like hanging around.
I know what you mean. I feel good doing the program, but I've never had a problem being strong. I'm definitely a cross between an endomorph and a mesomorph - naturally pretty strong, but I've always been a bit chubby my whole life. Lots of muscle, though. It seems like you may be more of an ectomorph - naturally pretty lean with a tougher time putting on muscle. Does that sound about right? So I guess I'm not as worried about "getting strong" as "getting lean" - the grass is always greener!

My boyfriend was like, "Why? I'll eat them!"
Boyfriends will eat anything. My boyfriend is a "vegetarian" who regularly eats my turkey burgers. It seems so much easier for them!
