They are hard in a different way--they are lower rep so you won't get that heavy breathing feeling like when you do 10+ squats or whatnot. Also a combo move like BB row/RDL is highly metabolic. Plus you have the HIIT with 3b.

I had more progress during stage 3 than 1,2, or 4 (which I just finished) and my eating wasn't as great as it had been during 1 and 2.

I think it just might not feel as intense because you are not using much weight on the single leg squats and YTWL. These are not meant to be done with heavy weights. More about "pre-hab" and helping to prevent/correct strength imbalances.
