Interesting that you mention H&C light on bi/Tri - I love the idea of adding in a pure strength workout once/week. I like the chisel workouts so far so I'm going to keep at them until I feel overkill. I'll have to figure out something to combine. I did bulk arms today also, but I have plenty I can combine.

Thanks for the idea

Sue, I copied this below from the 2 Lazy 4 the Gym review, I love that blog. https://2lazy4gym.com/2016/02/04/the...hammer-chisel/ I had always thought women needed more shoulder work to balance out, but maybe not? I'm going to start the program as designed but may also throw in an additional arm workout.

2 Lazy 4 the Gym - so I will share Lou and Alwyn’s reason from their NROL for Women program. When performing exercises that work the large muscle groups, you are using (and therefore working) the smaller muscle groups in the way they were designed to work–to assist those larger muscles in pushing or pulling movements. Your body is designed to use its big and small muscle groups together, therefore they should be worked and developed in a functional way. Rather than isolating biceps and triceps to make them dis-proportionally bigger than the back or chest, you work the back and the chest, and those smaller muscle groups assist and therefore grow in proportion to the chest and back.

Thank you, that was great! I really haven't felt anything lacking so we'll just see how I feel on any given day. I didn't rest today as prescribed & I'm hoping to make it to Saturday & rest then. We'll see.

Tomorrow I think is chisel endurance

Good luck! I may have to do 3 days on, 1 day off, we'll see how it goes. I may add on a short kettlebell workout and yoga as well.

So far I am loving the variety of workouts. Autumn's are tough but I keep coming back for more. No results yet, but as long as I'm enjoying the workouts I'm pressing on....

That's great to hear! Are you following the rotation as written or taking rest days?

My set arrived today so I will be previewing soon. I think I may start Monday, not sure if I'm following the schedule yet, will see how sore I am. I'm tentatively thinking 3 days on, 1 day rest, repeat. I think rest days are so important; I wish they would have included the science behind this workout.
