She does that with the last set of calf raises, too! She says "let's do 10 slow ones" when, to me, her pace isn't "slow", it's just standard. Yes, she does some quicker pulse ones after, but those ones that she said were supposed to be "slow" certainly were NOT. Remembering this series came out...

Confession: So, I do not like the pace Cathe keeps in the Meso 2 leg workouts. Considering I'm challenging myself with pretty heavy weights, I feel like she reps everything out a bit too fast - especially when she sometimes actually chooses to do some exercises faster - for the "Shock" factor...

Offhand, Cathe's STS 2.0 series has weighted hip thrusts / glute bridges in them: STS 2.0 Giant Sets Total Body STS 2.0 Lower Body 1 STS 2.0 Lower Body 2 STS 2.0 Body Parts Legs There may be some others - if so hopefully others will list them.

I posted this in the Low Max thread where this was asked - copying to here (seems like a better fit for the question :) )

Welcome back! If you're starting from ground zero, I'd recommend the following progression: (This is also assuming you've got your doctor's clearance) Lift, Move, and Restore series Lift, Move, and Restore Elevated series LITE series ICE series XTrain series I'd follow her simple one- or...

Yeah, that's Meso 2 - and I do recall Denise saying "I have the lightest bar" - so, I think she fesses up to not having a challenging enough weight. I have to admit seeing some of the lighter weights the guys were using during the Muscle Endurance phase sometimes got me feeling a bit resentful...

Thank you - this was helpful, too. And you're right - I'm not in that wonderful phase of "Newbie Gains" - which, when I look back at when STS first came out, this was a pretty new concept to a lot of Cathe's followers - I think a lot were doing workouts more in the muscle endurance category (me...

Resurrecting this old thread as I'm finding it super helpful in relation to what I've been experiencing right now with Meso 2. I recently went through and charted all my 1RMs to a spreadsheet - it's helpful for me for a complete overall look at my 1RM results instead of scrolling and clicking...

Curious what the "final phase" means - if you don't get it all out at your 65% off mark, are you going to further mark things down or are you going to be donating the rest?

My chriopractor/sports doc recommended this exercise for me after I came in last week expressing tightness across my lower back. This is a problem I've had for years and years - it sometimes subsides, but it can start to get aggravated again when I bump up the amount of physical activity I've...

Just finished week 1 of Meso 2 - good grief! At least with the first two workouts - Chest, Shoulders & Tris, and Legs, I felt absolutely wrecked. Not quite so much with today's Back & Biceps, thankfully - though I did hit failure pretty consistently. Even couldn't squeeze out all of the...

This has probably been suggested in some form in the past, but I'm going to throw it out there again, anyway (and the forum search feature always errors out on me because "1RM" is "too short" of a search term). I think it would be nice if Cathe put out a series that does a guided walkthrough of...

I found that interesting, too - wonder if some of his obstacle course training assisted with that (quickly jumping, ducking, etc - like plyometrics.)

I thought this was an interesting watch. (Warning - contains cadaver images). I know the differences between Muscle Endurance, Hypertrophy, and Strength have all been explained thousands of times, but I liked this guy's approach to explaining it. He also provides an interesting rotation...
