I'm attempting it.

I say go ahead and do it and see how you like it. Just make sure you eat enough and give yourself ample recovery time. Personally, if I had to do sets of 15 again I would kill myself, but that's just me.

[PowerManDL]

meh. It's not gonna kill her, or even set her back more than likely.

Unless you're elite or near-elite level, the program is much less important than just being consistent.

Is NROL better than a more dynamic cybernetic-type program? Doubtful...but it also depends on what you mean by "better".

Consistency >>>>> program, for the majority of people. If it's not what you're after, you'll find out soon enough.

...weekend. Going hiking tomorrow, hoping my body will be up to it. Its just with a bunch of friends and it's usually relaxing but you never know. We have been known to end up scaling rocks and crossing rivers on a whim. Hopefully not so much for tomorrow.

Workout went well today... and surprisingly 8 hours at the front desk goes by really quick. Especially when I get to talk to all the trainers when they're not busy
And the nutrition portion of the plan is working out really well. Gotta get that beach bod for my vacation in less than two weeks!

[Matthew]

Where are you going on vacation?

[bigDman]

[bundy]

Thanks. Yeah, I'm liking the program, except for the fact that it only has you working out 3 days/week. I'm sure the rest is good though and I'm not going to try and push it...for now at least. I feel the strength coming back and it feels good

Bleh. Was really tired today after work and didn't feel like driving home/sleeping then going back to the gym. So I just lifted and took the 30lbs off the deads. But oh well. I couldn't go later cuz its my dad's bday and I procrastinate everything so I gotta do something for him, not sure what yet, but something. haha. Off to get presents and dinner I guess

[bundy]

Very tired again, had a busy week. I'm going to go workout tomorrow morning before I leave for the beach rather than go today so I can get a good workout in before I'm away from the gym for an entire week. Not complaining though, I'll be at a beach!
