Off-topic, I'm starting my second week of my own rotation which uses the CLX weight workouts. I lost 1/2 lb. and 2% body fat. It's not a lot in terms of weight but I'm happy that I lost body fat. Actually, I'm at the same weight and body fat% before the holidays (beginning of Nov). I ate a lot of treats during the holidays. So it took one week to lose what I gained in two months.

This quote is just marketing talk to keep women happy. Chalene was saying that women do not get bigger when they add lean mass (which is what hypertrophy is) and also lose fat!!! People just do not understnd the meaning of the term hypertrophy. I have already quoted the guidebook - gaining muscle is the quoted goal of her periodization program!!!!!! Deb |

On topic- I'm still waiting for my replacements. I finally received a shipping notice and should have them Wednesday. At the time that I received my response from customer Service to say that my reshipment had been processed, they also offered lifetime replacement insurance for $9.95. I'm wondering if I should take it, as I'm not going to get a chance to preview all the DVD's and make sure that they're OK within the 30 day return time. Has anyone else paid for the replacement insurance?
Off topic- I'm loving this set. I've worked out for years and varied my training to meet different goals. This set truly is unique, and challenging in a way that other training methods aren't. I'm loving the emphasis on working the large muscle groups and the very time efficient workouts. To lift very slowly, with heavy weights and in a position which causes you to engage multiple muscle groups to maintain control and balance is such a great change from the more rapidfire ballistic kettlebell training that I also love. I'm already at goal weight, but into the 4th week of CLX and have dropped body fat and I'm seeing even more definition in my shoulders. I haven't even viewed the Push phase yet, but I plan on doing only HIIT cardio in that phase and not the Burn it and burn Intervals. |

I'm not trying to be snarky, I'm just trying to understand how you feel this program is set up incorrectly (from your post on the other thread) or that Chalene doesn't mean what she says in her blog, etc. You seem to come off knowing more than the professionals do.

Sigh... I'm beyond confused.
Debbie, so you are saying that one is not likely to gain muscle mass with this program? Really? I don't have your health background, but I do respect your opinion (and all others' for that matter), but I think it would be difficult NOT to gain muscle mass doing heavy weights for 30 minutes 3 days/week for 90 days. Fat loss is a separate issue, though of course intertwined. I can only go by my own results -- I don't know if I have gained muscle mass (I don't 'do' measurements or pictures or even scales), but I do know that I have gained strength. Strength is better than weakness. |
