What's after NROLW?
I realize I'm completely jumping the gun, but I'm thinking ahead to circa June 15, 2008 when I will be finished with the book. Has anyone thought about what your routine will look like after this? Will you start over with heavier weights? Plan your own routine (and if so, what kind of exercises will you include)? Pick up a new book? Kidnap Alwyn Cosgrove and hold him hostage in your basement until he's written a customized plan for you?  |

I'm probably going back to NROL (where I came from).

After I am done with NROL and NRoL4W I am considering Afterburn. But it will depend where my body is at that point.

I was trying to decide on whether to do NROL or just starting NROL4W again with increased weights. Although I'd be up for the kidnapping Alwyn Cosgrove idea and a customized plan.

I've read NROL and love it and will probably move to it after.

My bf just got NROL so I'll probably do that after NROL4W... after that though... who knows! I'll probably find another book and plan though, because I do SO much better when I have someone (even in book form) telling me what to do... if you leave me to my own devices I won't get anything done, haha!

Either Afterburn or Turbulence training, depending on if I still have fat to lose.

I am planning on NROL and possibly TT in the far future.

I was planning on world domination, but maybe NROL instead?

So what are "Afterburn" and "Turbulence Training"? I did a quick search on Amazon and neither came up---well, "Afterburn" did, but none of the books had anything to do with fitness. ;-/

Same here. I only tinkered with NROL last year so want to take it on seriously all of the way through when finished with NR4W.

Can I substitute "and torture him with a million paper cuts" for the "until he's written a customized plan for you"? |

For me it will probably be a repeat with heavier weights, as I still have a very long way to go. I'm hoping that my form will get better with a repeat.  |

With the way RedWifey is progressing, we'll probably start with a new wardrobe and a hella fun 10-year anniversary trip. After that she'll probably keep lifting heavy stuff and then putting it down repeatedly.

I have not done NROL so will probably read and do that one or the TT one that you all mentioned....
Here are some that I have done, and have loved. Or just look up these authors, they are all sort of tied in some way and I have seen them all in Men's Health Magazine (and others) as contributing authors or just quotes, etc....
They seem to have similar beliefs on training, health, and fitness in general 
Afterburn I and II by Alwyn Cosgrove (haven't tried II but I am pretty sure he wrote a new one) Mine is a spiral bound book so I am pretty sure I ordered it and not straight download, but I probably ordered from his website and not amazon??
Core Performance by Mark Verstegen (tried and liked)
The Book of Muscle (highly recommend) by Ian King and you guessed it....Lou Schuler!
Just my two cents, but I am taking notes on all these other programs/books that you are all recommending to try.....any thoughts out there about CrossFit? I had not heard of that until I got on this forum and then checked it out....thoughts? |

I already read NROL but hadn't started it yet, so I'll move on to that.
Yup and I'm horrible without guidance.  |

Maybe by the time I finish NROLFW I will have moved and can do NROL with my husband. Which means, I would finally be getting him started on it, since he has already read it.

Keep on alternating Stage 7 workouts?
Is anyone else thinking of alternating the six workouts in Stage 7 for another 2-3 months after completing NROL4W? They look tough, so it might be hard/impossible to sustain but I can dream...

I believe that when you order Afterburn, you receive hard copies and they are not e-books. I am planning on ordering and went through the process to make sure and you are charged shipping and asked your address. I really want to try Afterburn when I am done, but I also need to take a look at the original NROL.
Is there anyone doing afterburn right now? If so, can you post your impressions. I know the intervals are more frequent which I believe I probably need to lose more fat. I am unsure how the weight workouts are different (if they even are).
