Default What does STS - Mesocycle #3 Optional Squat Rack Routines

I purchased the 36 disc STS system. I guess I thought the STS - Mesocycle #3 Optional Squat Rack Routines was something I needed special equipment for. Can someone please tell me what exercises these dvds consist of and do I need special equipment, Thanks

The workouts require a squat rack and/or weighted vest, since it is for lifting a much heavier weight load. The 36-disc set still has a leg workout included, so if you don't have the rack/vest, you'll be fine w/the 36.

You don't ACTUALLY need the weighted vest. The first time I did STS, I didn't have it. I just added extra plates to my bar. I had the vest for the second round and was definitely glad I got it. Especially for front squats, because the bar is uncomfortable when loaded up to the heavy weight you'll want. I use the Push/Pull Tower and it works great - but I'm short too.
