Is it possible there's a bit of a communication break down from language and cultural barriers? ie: Not everyone here is from the U.S., and English isn't everyone's first language.

*raises hand* um - that would be me - lol. I don't want kettlebells. I've got limited space and don't want to crowd it up with yet more equipment. I refuse to get the FitTower, Barbell, giant round mat, or the Dip/Pullup bars because of this, too. And I'm with Braille in my dislike of...

It's funny - I was reading some people's comments on the LB bonus workout on her FB feed that they'd also had DOMs for three whole days after doing it. That was one serious LB workout! I've weaved it into my next rotation. Will be interesting if I have 3 days of DOMs again.

I'd guessed in another thread that one would be an UB workout, and the other a TB workout that's not metabolic (more along the lines of, say, STS 2 Super Sets).

I'd be surprised if it's cardio - she's marketed them as being all heavy strength training workouts (which, however, can have a cardio effect.)

It's from the S&S User's Guide. Looks like it uses just the main workouts with occasional core bonuses added on, so none of the muscle meltdowns or blizzard blasts from ICE. I was kind of wondering what a rotation might look like, one day, that subs in the Muscle Meltdowns for the Body Parts...

I haven't been monitoring it for updates, but the web page that introduces the series goes into some detail that may answer your cardio questions at least. From the page: …Also included in this new series are 4 cardio bonus workouts each coming it between 30 to 35 minutes. These 4 bonus...

Finished up a second go-round of the 12-week XTrain rotation today. Doing a little mini celebration. This time I changed up a lot of the cardio to add some more variation and combat boredom. I also threw in some occasional different LB and metabolic workouts to replace some of the leg workouts...

I posted it in this thread.

Great review Nathalie. I forgot to call out the push dips in my review. First of all, I never do elevated lunges/Bulgarian split squats. Something about my anatomy makes them extremely uncomfortable, so I do them as low, forward leaning lunges instead - and even then, they're challenging. The...

I don't have a barbell, so I've never done those with one. Yes, the Pyramid series from Intensity is really good. PUB and PLB were my go-to for strength training workouts for a long, long time. I should fit them back into a rotation again sometime. I remember doing them once after doing the...

I am really feelin' the DOMS today - hamstrings, inner thighs and glutes, especially.

Just finished this workout today. Definitely feeling worked - ready for a shower and a good meal. While I enjoyed it, It doesn't have quite the "fun" factor for me as STS 2.0's Lower Body 1 workout (I judge a lot of other lower body workouts against that one.) Don't let that deter you, though...

I will say that I appreciated the cardio effect I got out of this one. I don't often get cardio from an UB workout.

Thank you for the heads up on that! Is PHA smilier, too?
