Original BFL vs BFL for Women

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I completed challenge #1 using the orginial BFL regime Bill Philips

describes....I lost 6 pounds and 6 inches. I have mixed feelings

about my results, so I was going to try the Body for Life for Women

approach (Pam Peeke) for Challenge #2.

Instead of 6 sets of 12, 10, 8, 6, 12, and 12(different exercise)reps,

Dr Peeke suggests 2 exercises for each muscle group - 3 sets each: 20

reps, 15 reps, 10 reps (increase weight).

Has anyone tried Dr Peeke's method? Better or worse results? Her

eating regime is not as strict, so I was thinking of sticking with

Bill Philips Eating for life method, which I have adapted to quite

well. Any thoughts?

I haven't tried BFLFW but I have read the book. My only comment is from

the muscle magazines I have read like Oxygen, M & F Hers they have

mentioned that dropsetting then supersetting is really good for actual

changing your body shape. I see people do the 15 reps with a few

exercises at the gym and have noticed no noticeable difference in them.

Now you can definitly tell a difference with the participants that have

gone through the BFL program they run there using Bill method.

I don't think changing things up can hurt but I would really ask is could

this be an intensity issue. Because if you are not lifting til failure

on the 6 reps then you are not going to see the dramatic change on either

program in my opinion. Now for me the problem lies with the eating. If

you are not eating clean you can change up your program til the cows come

home and still look like a cow coming home. Really this is my biggest

problem. So just evaluate where you are then make a decision that is

right for you I don't think there is a right or wrong answer.

Good Luck!

OMG, Michele! That is a keeper of a quote. It's right up there with

the ones from Yoda and Aristotle.

Dropsetting is the 12, 10, 8, 6, 12 reps using higher weights each time.

Supersetting is the 12 reps of a different exercise for the same body

part.

Don't know where I heard that cow saying but it is hysterical!
