that I have mentioned - the workouts are NO JOKE!!!!

I have now done the A and B workout of Phase I....... I am still sore and tired from last night!!!  It's a GREAT workout - and like the book says - it's not about working small muscle groups all the time, these exercise really do address mutliple groups at the same time.  And the warm up is great too!  It looks weird to do (folk in the gym were eyeballing me like, HUH?) but it's actually VERY good.  I had deadlifts to do yesterday and previously had trouble with them - would typically end up with back pain - but I didn't last night.  

Has anyone else done a workout from the book?

Good Morning #1MM

What is the name of the book you are talking about?  I didn't see the post where you had mentioned it but, I would love to have any extra knowledge to help out my workouts.

Yes.  You too can look like a goddess.

 

I'm kidding.

From what I have browsed so far it seems like a pretty good book, especially for woman who are scared they will get big man muscles.  My goal is big muscles and that is why I do what I do.  I like how this book tries to show women that weights are nothing to be afraid of because there is no way you will get the mass a man gets.  

I am going to look more at the diet part of this book when I have time, but as for the workout it is to easy for me, because I already workout like a man and I don't want to look like a Goddess.  Iol.   I lift very heavy and do lower reps already.

This book is a lot like a book I use to use in the 80's called Bottom's Up by Joyce Verdral, where she tried to convince women to lift weights and build muscle if they wanted a great body.    It is also a lot like the Biggest loser and Jillian Michael's, workout where you work different groups instead of working on one particular muscle.

MM have you started the dieting portion yet,  I like how it doesn't want you to go crazy low carb and recommends a more sensible eating plan with enough calories to sustain you on lifting days.   It makes a lot of sense.

Hey Lee- yea - I am doing the diet part - I like the snacks - that cottage cheese w/raisins is good and so is the hummus.  I also kicked in with the shake right after my workout.  I like the book's approach to the eating a lot.
