I've been doing NROL since January. Made it through FL I/II and now I'm about half way through hypertrophy I (just completed workout 7 of 12 today) and I must say I'm finding it hard to stay motivated on my lower body days. I like the 5 x 5 days because it allows me plenty of rest and I get to lift heavy. But for some reason I find myself dreading the lower body 3 x 15 days. Today was the 4 x 10 day and even then by the time I was done I was completely wiped out.

So does this happen to anyone else? I'm just finding it odd because I'm certainly not afraid of hard work and generally have always enjoyed working harder than anyone else in the gym. But this one is really taking it out of me. And for the record, I have no intention of quitting, I'm just wondering if anyone else that has completed this has felt the same way.

But on the bright side I'd say that the hypertrophy program seems to be working. I have put on around 6-8 pounds in the past 3 weeks (been taking a lot of BCAA's as well) and while I'm not where I want to be, I think I'm starting to look pretty decent
