This sounds very valid to me, although I never rest at the bottom when on floor but just use as a guide. I appreciate the feedback. I also read today that the floor chest presses will engage your triceps more, I am not opposed to that but I think I will alternate from now on from floor to bench.

Great point! Thank you for answering me.

If we are not to go lower with our chest presses than bench height, then what is the difference between doing them on the floor than the bench? Isnt it the same range of motion since not supposed to go lower than bench.

Thanks for your wonderful reply, you speak just as I feel. And now with all that is going on I am so thankful I can still workout and relieve the stress from all that's going on in the world. I still am a few weeks away from turning 65 and have only increased in strength and endurance and am...

Cathe, Just finished today's Live by yourself class and just want to give you a big hug and a thank you for giving us some sort of normalcy in this chaotic world we are in right now. You could of just of easily cancelled the class and we wouldn't of thought bad of you, but being the wonderful...

Hi Cathe, Next month I will be turning 65 and have been doing the STS program off and on since it came out 12 years ago. I noticed from my workbook I am lifting heavier now then when I started it and I was in tip top shape back then. Although I am lifting heavier, I do struggle and I find it...

I ran across your post today and had to laugh, I just finished the Plyo DVD for the first time and I thought it would never be over and was literally counting the minutes. This is so not like me, I don't mind the occasional plyo move but this was back to back and I was dripping when it was...

The only bad workout is a missed workout.

I am so glad I saw your post about this, I was thinking it was me. I have been away from step for awhile doing more weight routines and when I started with shred warm up I was constantly a beat or two behind and also having a hard time making it to corner to corner. Getting ready to do Shred...

I am loving the new Split series, however I do have a question that comes to mind every time I am doing the Push or the Pull section. I feel there is very little rests in between the sets and the exercises and that I feel like I am rushing through it at a pretty fast pace. Is the goal here...

LOL, not sure I want to post my less than killer legs right now, maybe after Meso 1? Me too, my legs were always best and I never had any weight problem but now, its my skin that is failing me, its just not tight enough. I talked with a plastic surgeon even and he sugested adding more quad...

Thanks for the heads up Trixoo, on the Meso 1, I indeed think I will do that. This has been a fun day reading all the reply's. I love the feedback, thanks so much. And you know the Gym Style is probably one that I dont have so I am gonna go and get that set soon. To me Cathe is a personal...

Wow good going Janie, I am impressed with your awesome work. Thanks for the reply and the recipe to help, looks like I am going to need it, lol, but I am ready. I dont have any weight to lose so I just want to focus on eating enough to feed my muscles. I did see where she did put the Meso 2...

Thanks mrsprincess Thanks, for the suggestions mrsprincess, I agree, dont know why so much concern over building muscle and yes body types have a lot to do with it. I have always had to work hard for any gain, and it will be even harder for me now due to my age. I actually do the Pyramid DVD...

I posted my question on the STS forum and evidently no one has a answer for me, sooo I am going to the source. I am in my late 50's and have been a trainer for years, so I am not new to workouts. Lately I have been developing this loose skin over my knees and on my thighs, I am very lean and my...

I already have been working out, but I want my thighs to bulk up, can I start with the Hypertrophy in the STS system rather than the Endurance first? Is STS the way to go if I "want" to bulk up? All I ever see is a promise not to bulk you up, but I got a lot of loose skin on my upper thighs...
