nutbar · 03-10-2008, 10:11 PM

Yay on finishing Stage 2!!! I just did today, too, so we can cry over Stage 3 together in a couple of days.

Todays Workout
HIIT - Bike 20 min total

Man my knee is aching... and not in a good way. Seems like it may be an overuse injury. I wrapped it in heat last night felt a little better this am, but after my workout it was back to hurting so bad makes me wanna cry. There is no sharp pain - just a dull ache, that intensifies then subsides...so,

I am tentatively starting stage 3 tomorrow, I have printed my workout sheets. There is no possibility of derailing me at this point... but all these one legged movement may kill me - if that’s the case I may jump to Fat Loss I from NROL.

Todays Workout
Stage 3 Workout A (1 of 4)
One Armed SB Snatch 3 x 6 @ 20#db
DB Single Leg RDL 3 x 6 @ 20#db/e
Barbell Bent Over Row 3 x 6 @ 65#

DB Incline Bench Press 3 X 6 @ 25#db/e
Plank 45 secs, 60 secs, 45 secs

BODY WEIGHT MATRIX
(what I got done of it - my legs were BURNING & lunchtime was over)
24 squats
6 lunges on each leg
6 lunge jumps on each leg
12 squat jumps

I felt great after todays workout, my knee gave me no problem during my workout. I was super nervous to do the Jump Lunges. When I got back to the office I couldnt eat anything b/c I didnt feel well at all so I am probably in an extreme deficit. My knee was aching pretty bad at my desk then standing at my sons baseball practice in the cold didnt seem to help either,

but it seems to be feeling better now that I have warmed up and ate some dinner. (Yummy London Broil Stew from Precision Nutrition)

Wow, congrats on Stage 2.

I'm almost finished 2...but had not looked up the excercises in stage 3 ....yikes!!!!

Looks like fun

sveta · 03-14-2008, 11:31 PM

Wow here's somebody actually enjoying the first workout on stage 3!!! That's first!

Doing great!!!

gardengirl447 · 03-17-2008, 06:34 PM

Ok, don't know if anyone caught my workout comparison thread but I am switching up my plan. I am enjoying the NROLW workouts...but I want more intensity so I am switching back to NROL - Fat Loss for the next 3 months then at the end of that doing Stage 7 as a fourth Fat Loss.

Since my main goal right now is fat loss and strength I am obviously changing course to accommodate my goal. I will return to NROLW for a fourth round of fat loss by adding stage 7 to the end of Fat Loss I, II, III. By that point I hope to have lost a good amount of weight then go through the stages in NROLW.

Alright so I started Saturday:
03/15/07
Workout Fat Loss I A
Squat 1 x 15 @ 65# 2 x 15 @ 55#
Bent Over Rows 1 x 15 @ 55#; 2 x 15 @ 55#
Supine Hip Ext 3 x 15 @ BW
Dumbbell Push Press 3 x 15 @ 13#/e
Rotational Lunge 3 x 15 @ 10#/e
Swiss Ball Crunch 3 x 15 @ BW

Ok end of workout - glad I made this decision... I want to feel out of breath and struggle to finish, I need to work hard to get rid of this nasty fat!

03/17/08
Workout Fat Loss I B
DeadLift 3 x 15 @ 65#
Dumbbell Inc. Bench Press 3 x 15 @ 20#/e
Bulg. Split Squat 3 x 15 @ 10/e
Mixed Lat Pull Down 3 x 15 @ 70#
Rom. DeadLift 3 x 15 @ 55#
Elbow Touches (no place for lateral roll) 3 x 15 @ BW

I felt dead sick after this work out man; I didn’t want to move off the locker room bench. My stomach was quivering, my legs shaking, and my hands unable to lift my shake to my mouth. After I regained my composure somewhat I returned to work. The PT I see at the gym commented on how hard I was working and how beat I looked. I am really glad I made the decision to switch. I believe putting forth this effort 3 days a week will yield bigger results.

I feel great now 6 hours later!!! We will see tommorow... when everything I did today sets in.

nutbar · 03-17-2008, 09:41 PM

I saw that you were switching so came to see how it's going. I think I'm gonna hit NROL after I complete NR4W. I did bits and pieces of it some last year but not in a serious way, just in a learn-how-to-life toying way. The FL workouts sound killer!

But if you read my log you know there is no way in hell I would ever succomb to the thoughts of failure. mwwwahhahahaha!
