    What is the best way to heal a pulled tricep?

    You could ice your tricep using an ice pack and first aid tape I bet. Just a thought, thinking it would work. Hope it feels 100% soon. Vicki

    another STS question

    Yes, I am in Meso 2 and so far maybe 1 hour 5 minutes but some about 50 minutes. I really don't think they get much longer than an hour. But if so, make sure you don't skip through the breaks, Cathe really emphasizes how important they are for our muscles to recover and get the full benefit of...

    Quick Question - No barbell!

    You don't need a barbell as long as you have dumbbells that challenge you. I have both but some days I truthfully don't feel like getting out my barbell and fidgeting with it and have used dumbbells and still felt it. I did get the blue tubing and the red tubing. I was think I would start with...

    Has anyone stopped mid-Meso then started over??

    We were having some inside work done on our house and since I wasn't up for someone, even though he is a friend, watching me exercise I didn't work out for 3 weeks so I started over last week and changed it to a 6 month rotation cause I just love STS and feel better the second time through the...

    Couple quick questions Cathe

    First of all, I must keep saying how much I am loving STS. It is amazing how the results of taking the 1RM tests makes us up our game. I am only in Meso 1 of a 6 month rotation but lifting what I already am is heavier than I was doing before on some things. Just when you think you are lifting...

    Cathe, DD was defending you.

    That is so cute. When my boys aren't in school they usually argue about who gets to work out with me or who had the dumbbells first. Vicki

    A funny thing happened

    I have restarted STS due to life interferring. ANYWAY, I was doing Meso 1, Disc 3 Legs today and... well... has anyone met the floor doing the slide back lunges with paper plates! YUP, I fell. Had to laugh, what else could I do. I do them without weights since I am new to these and can't go that...

    Is anyone doing both sts and cardio on the same day?

    I am doing cardio also along with STS because I know that in order to lose this old body of mine needs cardio 5 days a week, so far so good!!!!!

    DVD Cases for STS

    I'm glad people are finding what they need to hold their beloved STS DVD's. I have had absolutely no trouble getting my DVD's out at all. I don't even feel like they are going to break, thank goodness. Granted, I haven't gone through all of them but am very pleased with the cases. Hope not too...

    Cathe, congratulations on your 20th Anniversary this year!

    Happy Anniversary to Cathe and the whole crew!! The release of STS is probably the best way to celebrate. I would raise a glass to toast you guys but I have done the first two DVD's of STS and I don't think I could raise my arm that high! (they are resting heavily on the computer table just to...
