Stage 1-Workout A-New to NROL

[May10April]

Hi There. I'd just like to introduce myself and ask a few questions.

I just started the NROL workout program and finished the Workout 1 for the first Stage.

Because I didn't buy the book-I got it from the library-I had to speed read it-so if this is already explained in the book-then I apologize. I've got a few questions, but I'm also asking for clarification to what I already think I understand.

Am I supposed to rotate between Workout A and B? And is stage 1 supposed to be done with only two workouts a week: i.e Workout 1 and workout 2 then the second week workout 3-4, and son on so that at the fourth week I complete the last two stages 7-8 of workout A? The timelogs don't show this so that is why I am confused.

Also, is there another option for Step-ups that will work the same muscle groups? I ask this because my gym does not have a bench or step to be able to do this exercise(I don't think I'm aloud to stand on the real benches) I also don't own one either. Even if I did-I'm not transporting it to the gym everyday I workout.

Today, I was unable to do the step ups as a result of this.

Stage one alternates between A and B. You can do 2 or 3 workouts a week, with 3 being optimal. So, ideally, it would be:

Week one
Workout A
Workout B
Workout A

Week two
Workout B
Workout A
Workout B

etc.

There shouldn't be any reason you can't do your step-ups on the weight bench. Try it! It works great!

See this thread if you are still confused on the Stage 1 workouts:
