And now I'm finally starting the STS Meso 2 and Meso 3 portion of the rotation. Again, I'm replacing STS Meso 2 with STS 2.0 workouts since I particularly didn't like the pacing of the lower body work in STS Meso 2 - it was endurance-style and I want to just concentrate on slow and heavy...

Thanks - I'm restarting in the last week of the "January 2019" rotation, which I modified. Today I'll be doing STS 2 Upper Body 1. And then after that I start on the STS Meso 2 & 3 rotation, where I'll be modifying Meso 2 to use STS 2.0 workouts instead.

I'm back from my trip abroad. I was averaging around 12k steps per day the majority of the time, and during the week of cycling, I was putting in about 30 miles each day. What an experience, for sure. While I stayed active, none of it was really cardio-intensive (except, maybe, on the days when...

I just do a standard movement similar - so when she does a back lunge with the slider, I just back lunge normally. If I don't have any weights in my hands and I feel like it's safe to do, I'll allow my foot to drag a little bit on the floor, but I don't always do that. I typically workout...

I always modified the sliding exercises in Meso 2, anyway, since I don't have sliders. I still know that I really dislike Meso 2's leg workouts because she paces them endurance-style, so I am ultra happy I can fall back on STS 2's lower body workouts (all three of them). Let us know how the...

Finally coming back to this since - I can't believe it - we're nearing the end of 2026 already. My re-visit of STS's Meso 2 & 3 in that "Body Builder's Rotation" will be coming up before I know it, and I still decided that I wanted to use STS 2.0 to substitute for Meso 2. Thanks, @Nabbe47 - I...

Agree on that 200% lol. If I could only have ONE series at all that includes a mix of cardio and weights, I think it would be XTrain - or maybe LITE (including Pyramid Pump), because that one's pretty diverse with the optional blast sections you can tack on and I can always heavy up the weights.

So I've finally tried this series and have done all the workouts a couple times - both in iterations where you do either only the cardio or only the strength or do them both back-to-back. I purchased it during her clearance sale. I feel a little validated in my decision to not purchase this...

Yes, thank you for the discount. :) I purchased the squat rack workouts from STS Meso 3 since they were unavailable on DVD during the clearance sale. I also purchased Core Max workouts (also not available on DVD), and then Boss Loops Glutes & Core since I felt that one would get more use from me...

I'll keep that hanging trick in mind should the impingement return. Will have to see about the chamois butter - when I'm traveling I plan to be pretty light so hopefully I can find something similar internationally. I'll be in Europe, so I'm sure they probably have something similar that I can...

Update - I'm now in the first week of the 2-week FitSplit portion of the rotation. I'm happy to say that my VO2 max has halted its slide and is back on the upswing since I've moved on to including workouts with more cardio. Quite a few of the workouts include HiiT, as well. I ended up with...

If I weren't already locked in with my current rotation that takes me through to the end of the year, I'd probably try this one out. I like the variety with the intentional lighter days mixed in. Maybe I'll try it out next year. Thanks!

Tri Sets is my fave of the STS 2.0 TB workouts, too. Followed very closely by Giant Sets.

Their OnDemand video library is also woefully incomplete where it comes to searching. I remember when I had a subscription, trying to just find something like "lower body" workouts, and it pulled up a few titles, but was missing a lot of others. Same here - hopefully they get their financial...

When Cathe hits calves, she really hits them. When I think about most of her LB workouts that include calves, she usually does at least two sets of them. I wonder which workout has the most - I feel like it's LMRE's Elevated Lower Body.
