Thank you Chele! I just pre-ordered the new series. It sounds like it's what I'm looking for. I think before it arrives I'm going to try the Ice series. It's always hard for me to get back into working out after taking a break. Never taken a break this long though, so I feel a little...
Hi everyone! A little bit about me and then my questions. If you want to skip the sappy stuff, skip to the end. :)
I used to be a regular on here, but have been gone for several years. My husband passed away unexpectedly after complications from heart surgery in 2014 and I lost the desire...
I often think this. Now that I have a mirror in my workout room, I see all the faces I make and notice all the wrinkles (esp. the "11" lines b/w the brows). Yikes! Makes me know I could never be a background exerciser. I don't know how they keep a smile on their face - I know I couldn't!
Thank you so much for the detailed explanation! I will definitely try your pointers. So, would you say you use more weight for the back fly than for the rear delts? I think I try to use too heavy of a weight for the rear delts and end up working the back. Need to use a lighter weight and...
Great - thanks!
You did what I was trying to avoid - type it all out. And to top it off, I am aiming for the 90-day Undulating one. That would take me hours to type out, lol.
Did XTrain Chest, Back, and Shoulders last night. Love it! But what am I doing wrong? Round 4 Bent Over Rear Delt Drop Sets seem the same as Round Six Back Fly on Stability Ball (which I don't like the feeling of so I do them bent over). The first is a shoulder exercise and the second is a back...
Rather than refer to my manual or resorting to re-typing a rotation, I'm wondering if the rotations are listed somewhere so we can print them out?
ETA: I'm referring to the XTrain rotations.
Oh yes, I know that, thanks. I should've clarified that I meant I'd alternate them on my weight training days, every other day or two, as you suggested.
And after reading what I just typed, I'm not sure that made much sense either, lol. Hopefully you know what I was trying to say.
I haven't done that premix yet, but I remember reading that back is not included in that premix. To get a full upper body workout, I think you need to choose the Full Upper Body First premix.
Hi! I've been a longtime Cathe fan. In January, I finally got back to working out after a year+ off. I'm wanting to use some of my new (to me) workouts in a rotation. I got STS TB and High Reps last year, but only recently tried them. Have used High Reps a few times, love it. Did STS upper...
abritrn - Thanks for the reply! I will do a rotation that is more endurance focused.
Regarding your question, I did not use the 1RM calculator for it. In fact, I've never done that calculation for anything (I don't have STS). I just used the heaviest weight I could handle to complete the...
I have one more week of my S&H rotation and am wondering what to follow it up with. Should I do something more strength oriented like Pure Strength or the Gym Styles? Or should I do something more endurance related with high reps - Power Hour, Muscle Endurance, Muscle Max, High Step...
