New Rules of Lifting Phase 1: Day 1

I decided to try the New Rules of Lifting program since I recommend the book so much.

I started it today with phase 1 workout B.

Deadlifts

95/15
95/15

Wide Grip Lat Pull Down
70/15
70/15

Lunges
BW/15
20/15

Swiss Ball Crunch
15
15

This was entirely too easy for me. Yeah, cranking out 30 deadlifts at 95 pounds made me sweat, but I didn't even think it was worthy of a whey shake after.

However, I do understand how this is supposed to help a n00bie lifter. Building muscular endurance and so forth.

But I really think I'm just gonna jump into phase 2 at lighter weight and higher reps and continue from there.


I left the gym like...

"Really?!"

Bring on the push presses and snatches please.
