Wow, Jane! I was so excited to finish Stage 2 today so I could move on to Stage 3 but now I'm kind of wishing Stage 2 would linger a bit longer.... LOL

Workout looks great and congrats on finishing Stage 2. I'm not taking a break before Stage 3 either, were there any indications that we were supposed to?

Lou talks about taking a break between stages, but I've decided to break every 12 weeks. My last break was when I was sick, so I am good.

What a long day!

Great job Jane!!! Stage 3 looks rough, but you're takin it like a champ!!!!

bigDman · 03-12-2008, 08:09 PM

single leg squats are killer

Natalia · 03-12-2008, 08:59 PM

single leg squats made me angry....REALLY angry. I could do 12 ATG reps on my right leg, but the left one ... only half way. There must be a sticking point somewhere. Gotta locate and annihilate it. Hey, Jane, holding a small weight in front actually helps with balance.

Did you do them from the floor or a bench? I tried both, but didn't trust myself on the bench. I'm going to try holding the weight in front....that makes sense because that's the way I do my single-leg RDL's, too.

I did them on the bench at the gym. At home I use a 6'' step stool. Yeah, the bench is kinda wobbly. Don't you wish our gyms had those plyometrics platforms?

Nice workout, Jane!!! You are kickin' butt!!!!

WHat is a "partial single leg squat", can you explain? And a prone cobra, is that like the yoga thing, almost just like a stretch?

Hmmm.....let's see if I can describe this. You are standing either on the floor or on a bench. You are on one leg. The other leg is either bent slightly back if on the floor, or hanging off of the side of the bench. You squat with one leg, as if sitting and come back up on the one leg.

Prone Cobra. You are on your stomach and you raise your head and shoulders and your arms are up with your thumbs pointing towards the sky contracting your shoulder blades. You hold this position for the required amount of time.

ljk · 03-13-2008, 10:23 AM

So the 1-leg squat is basically a 1-leg squat but not going all the way down. Do you use weight? I know they're tough.

edit: oops never mind, I see you used 5 lbs. Great job!

It looks like workout B really does a lot less leg work than A. Is that because you do the cardio afterward and you need the leg strength/energy for that?

You'd have to ask Alwyn!
