New Round STS to kickoff 2011 ? Who's in ?

[chammer]

Hi all - I found myself battling and finally diagnosed hypothyroid about 10 weeks into my first round of STS ... fast forward 18 months later and FINALLY back to about 95% of my normal energy and I am beyond psyched to have had the energy to workout consistently, and aggressively (like I always had previously! )... thank goodness for finally finding a Dr. who treats symptoms and a trainer like Cathe to return to with my restored energy! woo hoo

I am so psyched to have prepped for another round of STS... who else is feeling pumped to start the new year with STS ? or another motivating routine you'd like to share ?

It's amazing how much I knew I was missing my former fitness (always a 4 - 6 day/week, multiple half marathons, weight lifting enthusiast type) and I couldn't be more excited to have it back and be enjoying the challenge of programs like Cathe's to propel me to my best the most efficient way possible!

Brang it !!!

I'm also going to start STS. I bought the program and I'm waiting for equipment (tower/weighted vest) to arrive from the States so I'll be starting Jan 8th. I'll be following the STS/Shock Cardio rotation which has already been taped to my wall.

EEEEEEEEEK! I can't wait. I've read so many success stories that I'm super pumped to become one too.

Hi! I too am starting STS in January. I will begin on the 3rd. I got STS for Christmas and I am so psyched to finally do it. I don't have all of the Shock Cardio dvds, but I am planning on following the STS/Shock Cardio rotation, supplementing a dvd when I run into one I don't have. Maybe we should start a check in in January for STS users. What do you think?

I also plan to start an STS rotation on the 3rd of January!

I am late to jump in to this party. I will be starting January 24th. I want to play with the new workouts for a while longer. I figure this will put me with an ending date of May 8th - Mother's Day!

I just started STS this week. It's my first time through. I'll be about a week ahead, but I think I can still hang with ya!
How are you dealing with the 1RM test ? I've only did enough for the first two Discs so far. I need to get a move on finishing them up!

[jnka825]

Boling- I am halfway through the 1 RM testing. I am going through each exercise in the book. the ones with 1 or 2 stars I am skipping. My arms are sore from the testing, so I am laying off on UB this week. i am doing more cardio and lower body until next week.

JonSteph and Fit Mommy is this your first round of STS? Are you doing the 6 1/2 month or 3 1/2 month rotation?

Mom25- seems like we are both excited! Are you done with your 1 RM testing or are you in the middle too?

Kristin: I tried to do STS one time before but only got through 3 weeks of Meso 1 so I'm giving it another shot. I plan on doing the 3 1/2 month rotation, thankyouverymuch! LOL I don't think I could hang with ANY rotation for 6 1/2 months!

Boling11: I did some 1RM testing before trying STS the first time and my weights ended up being waaaay too heavy so I will just be going with my instinct this time and keeping track of what I use.

I started this month and will be doing my first active recovery week next week. I was too excited to wait until January!

I am loving this program! I ended up ordering the tower and used it for the first time today. Whoa! What a difference that makes!

I'm doing the 3 1/2 month rotation but kind of wish I would've done the 6 1/2. On the other hand, I was thinking of rewarding myself with the new DVDs when I finish, then starting up again after playing around with those for awhile.
