Default Almost halfway through my 1st STS 3 month rotation!

I love STS! I haven't quite completed M2, W2 yet and can't get over my strength gains so far. I'm really starting to develop some guns in my biceps and finally starting to see some small differences on the scale.

Did I mention I love STS - LOL. If on the fence about buying the program, I say take advantage of the sale! I'm so glad that I finally made the investment.

That's awesome, Lisa! Congrats on your accomplishments/results thus far! Keep 'em coming!

I am a week away from completing meso 1 of the 6 month rotation. I am soooo excited to get started with meso 2!

I did Disk 17 today - OMG. I've never done a leg workout quite like this one. It really got my heart rate up there. At the time, I thought Cathe must have been trying to kill me. (Even laugh!)

Do you recall disc 9? THAT one darn near KILLED me! I'll have to remember your comment about disc 17 when I get to it. It's probably the Disc 9 of Meso 2!

I just did disc 9 this morning. Those back to back plate exercises really get my HR up. And the one-legged deadlift with toes elevated! Skakey, shakey.

I'm doing the 5 1/2 month rotation this go around with STS and am loving it! This is my 4th time doing STS and it just gets better every time I do the program.

Looking forward to meso II.

Since this is your 4th rotation, I'm wondering about maintaining the results after I finish? Do you continue to lift such heavy results with other workouts? How long of a rest until you start the rotation again? Do you recall if there was a thread on this the first time around? Any insight into "life after STS" would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I can't wait to start my 2nd round of STS. Trying to time it so I finish a little before the road trip in July. So I'll be starting up again in April. I absolutely love this program! 1000x better than P90X!!

I am starting week 2 of Meso 2 next week and so happy that I decided to make this purchase when during the recent sale. It has worked my muscles like no other. I am so surprised at the changes in my strength and definition. I can't wait to see what results I will experience at the end of the 3.5 month rotation.

My goal was strength gain and definition. I am extremely pleased!

Default Disk 17 - Oh my!

I did this disk two days ago and my calves are still screaming. Between the plates and the calve pumps, I can't believe how sore my calves got. I almost feel like it's the first time I've exercised in year! You know what they say, "no pain, no gain". I must be making huge gains
