If I liked low reps, heavier weights, full body workouts from NROL4W... what next?

[DawnP]

I finished 6 months of NROL4W last month, what an awesome series. Now I'm doing the Fat Loss rotations from NROL. But I'm losing motivation... it feels like I don't have a plan for the next 3-4 months. The dread factor of doing 15-20 reps of anything is catching up with me.

I'm not really fond of splits so I'm hesitating to do the Strength & Hypertrophy sections of NROL. It seems like a step backwards from Alwyn's testimonials to full-body workouts for weight loss.

If I really liked the low rep heavy weight full body workouts in NROL4W what should I do next? Does Alwyn have another program that's as well-designed as NROL4W?

P.S. I posted this in the NROL4W forums too.

Thanks in advance for any advice you have!

While nobody likes doing 15-20 reps of anything, it might be a good idea to keep a workout like that in your rotation for metabolic work/muscular endurance. I know my trainer has me do that sort of thing periodically, and I don't care for it, but I do find that it helps.

You might want to look at Starting Strength by Rippetoe and Kilgore - basic barbell programs that emphasize your big movements - squats, deadlifts, bench presses etc.

Another popular choice is Power Training by dos Remedios. Here you're given a template of what sort of exercise to use and in what order, but you can pick the particular exercise you end up doing.
