I'm getting kinda nervous with these 1RM tests... lol. I'm finding I'm stronger than I think, which means that it appears for a lot of my workouts in the past, I've typically been working in my 60-70% range - and I thought THAT was challenging. From doing these tests alone, I can already see...

Finally had a chance to do this workout as I'm now starting the rotation with the bonus downloads today. I really enjoyed this workout. I alternated between her heavy suggestions and her light suggestions depending on the exercise and how I was feeling at any given moment. I can for sure see...

I was reassuring myself today, thinking about all the push-ups, that I can do them just one day a week for four weeks. It's not forever... but I'm sure it's gonna feel like forever when I'm in the middle of them. Thanks for the heads up on the band alternatives for the chin/pull-ups!

Okay - good to know I can rely on my bands. Glad I invested in that setup from STS 2

OMG - I was going over the workout cards and saw all the push-ups. Holy hell. Oh - and chin-ups and pull-ups. I don't have an STS bar - does she show modifications to do those - like doing barbell rows or something instead?

Also - this might be obvious - but I'm also testing my 1RM against my weakest side for anything unilateral. Or, where my tennis elbow is concerned - because it HATES traditional bicep curls with either a barbell or dumbbell - I'm testing up to when that arm says "no more". Should I instead be...

Yeah, the testing is pretty straight-forward. I started working on my 1RM calculations yesterday, and am realizing I'm actually quite a bit stronger than I thought. Like... I was thinking, oh I'll test my 1RMs for flat Chest Flys with 25#s - well... crapola, I got to 20 reps before I finally...

I saw that - weird that Meso 1 is sold out. I'd have assumed from most of the feedback that that one would be the set left over. Sent an email to CS about the user's guide. We'll see what they say. I suspect it's an out-of-stock issue. Glad I have the PDF at least.

Thanks for sharing your experience! Something for me to consider!

Yeah - I saw that video on how to use the calculator and input the details into the WM. Was just hoping to see her demoing actually doing a 1RM test (ie:, picking up some weights or something). Guess not. Thanks, though. Bummer - my DVDs arrived but no hard copy of the user's guide. Maybe...

No link for the "how to take a one rep max" tutorial on the tutorials page, unfortunately. Do the DVDs have instructional videos on them? Mine are supposed to arrive today, so I guess I'll find out soon enough.

I downloaded the PDF when I had an OnDemand subscription. Hope I get a hard copy with my DVD order - that would be nice.

Trying to click the"How to take a One Rep Max Test?" link and it takes me to a page asking for a Flash plugin, which, to my understanding, is very outdated and no-longer-supported technology on most browsers. Is this on YouTube anywhere instead? Also, when going to check the links in the STS...

I'm curious, too, if anyone has tagged on the 6 weeks of body parts workouts from STS 2 to the end of their STS rotation? Guess I'm looking to see if there's further challenge that can get added on after STS is done to really put concentration on individual body parts. Makes sense regarding how...

I don't use as high a step as them, either, and it still wipes me out! I'm putting my rotation together and one thing I will say is that I'm going to enjoy these rest weeks every 5th week - I don't typically take rest weeks until every 6, 7, or 8 weeks. Woot!
