Even though you don't use very heavy weights during this phase, this phase was definitely the hardest strength circuits that I had ever done. Every single part of my being shook like crazy. I swear, it felt like I could feel neuron in my body ignite. Even the sweat that literally poured out of me felt different. For me, I'm really glad that I did a test run with one of the workouts before I started the Lean phase. It's the workout that has you doing triceps extensions on your knees. This workout looked the weirdest for me. I'm so glad that I gave it a test run so I could get a feel for how this phase worked. Had I not done a test run, I most likely would have dropped out, something I never do. I also had to modify a couple of the biceps/legs combinations. For me, the standing biceps curls with hamstring curls really aggravated my lower back, so I did wall squats and biceps curls. Talking about setting your lower body on fire. There was another combination that I modified, but I can't think of it at this moment. I know I've said it before, but this phase was magic for me. I lost 6 lbs. in this phase alone. CLX also broke the long plateau that I had hit when I entered peri-menopause.
