    Reviews for Body Parts in STS2.0?

    I started with Body Parts: Chest and Triceps. It was so hard. I had to drop weight on a few exercises. I previewed the workout but forgot there were THREE sets of dips. Those dips on the STS bars are so challenging. I don't know where I feel them more; my triceps or my chest. I did the original...

    STS 2 Results

    Good question. I do easy-ish cardio workouts (like Cardio Party or Step Sync - just not something like Tabatacise or CrossFire), and something like a Cathe Live Fit Tower workout or Travel Fit or Boss Bands Total Body. I don’t lift anything heavier than 5 lbs during a recovery week so I stay...

    Dip/pullup bars - configuration

    Question re Sets to Failure on Unilateral Movements

    Hello! I am in the middle of STS, week 3 of Meso 2. I have a question about going to failure on moves where you do them all on the right side and then on the left. If I fail at, say, 14 reps on my left arm for concentration curls, but can go to 18 reps on my right arm, should I still stop at 14...

    Tennis Elbow

    I had golfers’ elbow so I don’t want to suggest anything that won’t help or might damage it further, and I am not a physical therapist, but what helped me was looking up “golfers’ elbow eccentric exercises” on YouTube, and then doing the exercises I found. That is the only thing that helped. And...
