Guest guest Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 I just ordered Afterburn online. Just so I can be mentally prepped, can anyone give me their thoughts on Afterburn particularly as it compares to BFL? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Thanks so much! That was a great review! I'm under a lot of stress lately (Mom appears to be fading fast into Alzheimer's, FIL has prostate cancer, husband just semiretired and seems to be EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME!..but I do love him.) and I'm just in a mood to really go super intense. Afterburn sounds like just the plan for me! </HTML> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 So, , will you be doing Afterburn II? : ) >>> Skwigg 7/17/2007 12:18 AM >>> Here's a review I did of Afterburn: http://skwigg.tripod.com/blog/index.blog?entry_id=1604382 It's similar to BFL in that it begins with two strength workouts that you alternate three non-consecutive days a week. Like: Mon - workout #1 Wed - workout #2 Fri - workout #1 Mon - workout #2 Wed - workout #1 Fri - workout #2 Keep repeating. You also do three HIIT cardio sessions a week. You can do them on the non-strength training days, or immediately after the strength workouts, or later on the same day. He just doesn't want you doing intense cardio before weights. Since my first review, I've talked to quite a few people who do the Afterburn workouts without following the nutrition, which involves a lot of calorie-counting and zero cheating. Some people just stick with BFL for the nutrition. I do Berardi's Precision Nutrition. Effective nutrition programs have a whole lot in common. Any way you look at it, you're going to be eating every couple of hours and focusing on lean protein, fresh fruits and vegetables and healthy fat. So don't be too alarmed by all the math and the lack of a free day or cheat meal in Afterburn. If you can go that hardcore, good for you. If just reading it makes you want pie, modify it as necessary. As long as you're eating well and coming up with a consistent calorie deficit, you'll be pleased with the fat loss. Also, the workouts are going to look deceptively simple at first. Do not be fooled. LOL Some of those moves are killers. Pay attention to the suggested tempo because he gets meaner about it as time goes on. Like you may have a 3-4 second lowering phase and then an explosive move back to the start. I like that every exercise can be made easier for a beginner or torture for someone more advanced. I've had good results with it. > > I just ordered Afterburn online.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 I love Afterburn, so I'll definitely be doing Afterburn II. (I wish I'd bought both of them at the same time!) I may not go straight into the second one though, because I have a real urge to check out Turbulence Training as well. I may do a few months of that and then save Afterburn II for my post-holiday recovery plan. :-) > > So, , will you be doing Afterburn II? : ) > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
