I had haphazard experience with weights prior to nrolfw. I had lifted semi seriously in the past, but nothing other than BW exercises and little pink weights since my daughter was born 6 years ago.
I had no problem choosing a challenging weight, or upping the weight throught the stages. I'm starting Stage 6 today (yay!) and can't wait to try my hand at chinups!
I find that after stage 1 is done, the stages go fairly fast. The change in routines keeps me motivated, so I don't get bored.
My strength has improved from the 1st few workouts when I couldn't do 4 real pushups, to now where i can do 3 sets of 10, feet elevated, with no problems.
I wish I had been more strict with my diet, as my weight has been steady since I started. But I have lost some inches and I look so much better!
