Cathe doesn't really respond to posts in here any more. (Maybe she'll make me eat my words and respond, but I'd be surprised.) I'll put in my 2¢, but feel free to make decisions that work best for you - ultimately the best workout regimen is one that you know you enjoy and will stick to. I...

I believe I purchased them back in 2002.

My first Cathe workouts were Rhythmic Step and Power Hour and then I bought her CTX Kickbox workout (all VHS). I was so intimidated by her. And I remember not being able to move my arms the next day after doing the biceps section from CTX Kickbox. :p Sad to see this era end. Fully digital...

Good thought - One way I make sure I keep up with progressive loading is when I'm marking down my weights that I used in a workout. If I'm finding I feel like I could go heavier the next time I do the workout, I add a + next to my written weight selection, and the next time I do the workout, I...

More observations of results while working through STS 2.0 Body Parts workouts! I can heavy up on the Pendlay rows now! Meaning I can match Cathe's selection. Since I've invested in the ExerTower (Fit Tower clone), I can utilize it for barbell chest presses now, and that also means I can go...

I wouldn't be surprised if filming has been put on hold for now as they clear out their warehouse/physical inventory. I recall they were absolutely slammed when they first announced the clearance so doubt they had much time at all to finalize any sort of plans for new workouts to film...

Dropping back in to post a sort of "Results" update Today I started in on my planned two weeks of STS 2.0 Body Parts workouts. (I took the recommended rest week last week after completing Meso 3.) The workout I started with today was Body Parts Legs with the added bonus section. I was really...

I am officially DONE with STS! :D This has been a long 15 weeks, for sure! The good news is that after calculating my 1RMs after this final workout today, I can definitely say Cathe followed through on her promise of getting 5% stronger by following her program. I'll say, though, I was...

If you were to follow AI's advice, which STS 2.0 titles (premixes, full, etc.) would you use, with the limitation of only having the DVDs and their premixes available (no workout blender)? It's useful to know what body parts you're looking to target, but for a STS 2.0-specific series rotation...

Thanks - I appreciate some more ideas. It's definitely a brain-teaser. Maybe a more simple question is just "if you could only do a 4-week STS 2.0 rotation, what would you do?" Fortunately I've got lots of time before I need to come to any firm decisions on this - won't be revisiting STS again...

I'm looking at creating a rotation using STS 2.0 that would replace Meso 2 from the original STS. I'm curious how some of you would approach this (and, of course, Cathe, if you're reading, how would you?) NOTE: At the time I only have the DVDs - not streaming and therefore no Workout Blender...

I'm definitely feeling stronger - was certainly impressed with some of the weights I've been able to accomplish at the 90% range during week 3. Proof will be in the pudding next week when I have to resort back to 8 reps at 85%! I can't imagine combining both UB workouts from Meso 3 - I suppose...

Fun to see the results. Thanks for starting the poll. Awesome to see STS 2.0 is at the top. It really is a great series - I'm jonesing for it after this 15-week original STS rotation. (I'm on my last week of Meso 3 this week - woohoo!)

Further markdowns - majority of items and individual DVDs are $5.99. I decided to go ahead and purchase three cycle titles - even though I don't have a stationary bike. :p I'm kind of on the fence if I want to turn cycling into a workout when, for the most part, I keep my outdoor cycling to a...

If you're gonna start in August, I'd say now is the time to start getting your 1RMs figured out. :) It took me a couple months! You can squeeze in an exercise or two before your usual workout for the day.
