Smile a couple BFL newbie questions

Hello Everyone!

Well, my hubbie and I are starting our first 12 week challenge here on Jan. 19th. We read Nat's advice and did a "trial run" first and after 2 weeks, we think we have the kinks worked out. But, I have a couple questions that I hope some of you who have been doing this awhile could answer

Question 1: Do any of the exercises work out the forearms?

In our trial run, we have done 3-4 days each of the upper and lower body work outs and boy do we feel the muscles in all the other places on our body, but our forearms are not sore. We do the work outs together to check our forms and we are doing them right. And, we have achieved total muscle blow out with the last exercise for those muscle groups.

Question 2: I've read about the minimum of Protein, but is there a maximum?

I can barely eat my 140g of protein daily, in fact getting used to eating 6 times a day is hard. But, my husband is already at 180g of protein daily and it doesn't seem enough.

Question 3: Stretching before the workouts? Any thoughts?


Any imput would be great appreciated!! Thanks!
