NROLFW, stage 3

[rondonalddo]

(I lurk often, not sure if I've ever posted over here. Hi!)

I'm starting Stage 3 after work tonight. NROLFW veterans, how much is this going to suck? I'm dreading 3 (3!) 90-second planks after the torture of only doing 2 for 60 seconds each in stage 2. And the body weight matrix at the end of workout A. Oof.

Or, I guess to put a positive spin on it, how much of a badass will I feel like after I finish this stage?

Haven't ever gotten that far, but I do know that killer hard work like that makes you feel like a total badass. So yeah, it'll suck, but you can get through it and live to tell the tale while flexing your killer biceps.

If I remember correctly, I thought the suckiest part was how LOOONG the workouts took in that stage.

Yes, I'm not looking forward to that, either. That was one of my favorite things about Stage 1-- how short the workout was. I get antsy about the clock.

I just did workout A and those 90 second planks can fuck right the fuck off. I skipped the body weight matrix though, so it wasn't really bad at all.

I really am dreading them. 90 seconds prone cobra, sure whatever. 90 second plank, HATE/DREAD.

Holy fuck buttons. I did it. Well, most of it. All 3 90-sec planks. Couldn't make it all the way through the BW matrix, though, so I did all the squats, all the lunges, and 5 lunge jumps and then repeated that. My time got better in the second set, at least.
