@niko4460 Sorry to ask this but I am a complete newbie: LISS stands for... lower intensity something something?

@niko4460 Would you say this is true whether the wods are metcons or not? Appreciate the insight.

@antonio99 This makes a lot of sense - helps a lot to hear someone else who has been in my position and what worked for you. Thanks!

@bfall 15mpw as well, wow. I definitely will not be doing that, haha. Seems like you did what I was thinking - essentially used the metcon side of things to condition. I guess "listen to your body" is always good advice. I am mainly concerned with a scenario like wall balls after squat day...

@pray4rslts I believe the recommended duration for nsuns is 2-3 months. Did you do multiple cycles or just 1? I’m wondering if it will become less manageable as I approach my cap of linear progression. I am still in the new lifter phase where I am adding weight frequently. Would you think that...

@godsgirlox I am hoping the metcon or at least hiit style workouts will help my conditioning. I’d like to be able to not collapse when my wife invites me to be active or do a workout with her haha.

@revdstephen Ok, thank you. So in your opinion, it’d be too much to treat nSuns the same way for recovery reasons as a result of the high volume? The point isn’t to get injured obviously haha.

@revdstephen I am clearly not an expert, but I was operating by this description in the nSuns reddit : “Nsuns is 5/3/1 with a flexible accessory program and lots of volume on the t1/t2 lifts. “ I wanted to include 5/3/1 in the subject line in case people didn’t know what nSuns was since it is...

@oddrob Ok just read your edit - excited to try this (responsibly). I am limited by strength atm, so this should really help.

@oddrob Ok, thanks for this comment. So you wouldn’t only do metcons, you’d just scale appropriately even if it is the same muscle group? I’d love to be able to workout with my wife at her CrossFit box, but if I was limited to metcons it wouldn’t be worth it probably.

@dawn16 Yeah, I agree, part of the entire appeal is the volume for me. Especially as a beginner/intermediate I can make progression much faster if it’s linear. I’ll let you know how it goes for me - I’m getting a lot of good advice from this post but generally seems to book down to: if you do...

@dawn16 As someone else pointed out to me the nSuns variant is much higher volume. Just wanted to make sure you saw that info for your own purposes in interpreting the answers here.

I am starting a nSuns lifting program (4 day variant) and I was hoping to do CrossFit on my off days. I have seen a few people on here mention doing something similar. I am wondering: do you guys just go to your local box and do whatever the wod is? Or are you doing your own workout that is a...

@starrysunsets Yes - I have done this challenge and it was effective. I have done it while gaining and losing weight. You essentially just eat more real food and vegetables. This improved my digestion and, not to be graphic, but made my pooping schedule better than just supplementing with...

@starrysunsets The nutritionist who designed this challenge is one of the most educated I’ve ever listened to. It is a great program - especially if you struggle with over eating or are trying to lose weight. It is extremely easy, and not restrictive. You only have to worry about making sure you...
