Hi Nicole. I love you and your site! I did your 30 Day challenge in October/November, but I started training for my first IRONMAN in December. With the intense increase in cardio, decreased focus on weight training (fewer workouts, different purpose), and change in nutritional needs involved in that, I thought trying to also participate in your 60 Day, 45 Day, and Olympia Prep challenges at the same time wouldn’t be the best idea. However, I’ve purchased them all and saved the info to try them once I’m an IRONMAN in October! Any recommendation on how long I should wait after my IM training is complete before I begin working through these challenges? Should I give my body a minute to recover, or just jump right in? Any particular order you suggest I do the challenges given that I’ll be drastically decreasing my cardio and increasing my weight training after October? Thanks!
Hi Nicole! Not sure if you’re still taking questions for the August video, but I had a couple:
Have you done any events (Phat Camp, speaking engagements, etc.) in Atlanta, GA, or do you plan to?
Have you ever used Sweet Sweat, or do you have any opinions on its effectiveness?
Thanks for sharing!
JessicaHi Nicole! Love you and your site – thank you for sharing your world with us! My question is about behind-the-neck pulldowns. I had a trainer who had me superset/triset these with other variations of pulldowns, and I’ve kept them in my routine, facing backwards on the seat. I know you mentioned in a previous video that facing backwards is better on your neck, but I had a guy at the gym politely suggest I not do them at all and explain the risk of injury. While I keep the weight lighter, watch my form, and have not had any issues with this exercise, I was wondering if you could explain the benefit of that particular angle. Thank you!
