Just did this workout with Brandon from the YouTube parking lot days. He uses the 1-pounder for the entire workout. I used it every third time, using the 1/2-pound rope every other time and it still killed me. Cardio-wise I got this! But strength-wise...oof. Looking forward to jumping into JRD-Max on Monday, and am also going to start using MyFitnessPal again to track calories since I've been the same weight now for a few months and really want to focus on losing these last few belly pounds. If I never lost them, honestly it would be fine. I'm feeling so fit and I'm at a great weight for me. But...wouldn't it be nice to have a six-pack for the first time in my life and to be the guy who runs shirtless all summer? : )
