Awesome! Let us know if you do!

I resisted buying the entire RWH series for so very long because HiiT has just never been my favorite form of cardio. I purchased digital downloads of the Low Impact workouts from this series a long time ago to have on hand as optional travel cardio workouts and do them on occasion when I want...

If you're looking for alternatives, I find Julia Rappel's mobility workouts on YouTube, including her warmups, pretty thorough: Mobility by Julia Reppel

Finished first week of Meso #3. Really happy to see it wasn't such the shocker that the first week of Meso #2 was. I appreciated the longer rest periods - although I caught that sometimes between exercises in Shoulders, Biceps & Triceps she'd only give you 30 seconds, not 60. I recall...

I was thinking you can always increase the challenge to your body with heavier weights - instead of the 10-ish rep range you'd be doing more around 6-8 reps - your emphasis would shift more to strength than hypertrophy. Kind of re-visiting original STS that way. If you know your 1RM, then...

Old thread revised - I decided after my initial questions to just go ahead and use any of the three LB STS 2.0 workouts when it came down to the Body Parts phase of her rotation. Was nice to do in case I was getting bored with only doing Body Parts Legs. All were effective. @Debinmi good call...

Nice work, Nabbe! I'm impressed you squeezed it into her existing PDF formatting (did you catch that it has a file title in Acrobat that says "ICE User's Guide"? Not a complaint! I giggle at this because I've been seeing that in a few of Cathe's official User's Guides - they occasionally forget...

Grrrrr - thank you for bringing this up. I've not heard anything from CS about it given I was asking them about this very thing after I first purchased all three mesocycles. I'll reach out again.

Thanks for the tidbit on rest periods - makes sense they'd be long for the squat rack legs. I'm expecting something akin to XTrain's Cardio Leg blast for the Plyo Legs workouts, so yeah - not much rest there! I did notice the warmups in STS are pretty brief. I honestly feel barely warmed up at...

Thank you! Agreed on so many of your observations/preferences,@Debinmi I saw this quote the other day and loved it: For Sanity, Not Vanity. I have a feeling that for most people, our attention shifts from aesthetics to just general physical well-being as we progress through life. So much...

Finished Meso 2 today - whoop! I'm happy to have another rest week coming up. A few things I learned during this mesocycle: 1. Referencing a barbell racking calculator is super helpful for planning out my plates setup. Each week after I finished a given workout, I'd make any adjustments to my...

Here you go: User's Guides

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.
