Checking in! Yesterday was the first day of week 2 for me which was Burn Sets: Chest, Back, and Shoulders. Since the workout card thing is not working on the calender, I am estimating based on Cathe's weights as I usually do 5-10 lbs. less than she uses. Today is the Leg Blast which was on...

I'm in! I hope no one minds if I join in. I stated this rotation on January 1 so I did day 6 of week one today which was Legs, Premix 3 which I loved, loved, loved. I did not think that I would make it thru the entire 81 minutes as I usuallly try to keep my workouts under an hour for time...

I have had some success recently with losing a few pounds with splitting up my workouts several days per week into 2 20-30 minute sessions. Maybe it's the metabolism boost or just the fact that I end up working out more time over a week period. I wonder if Cathe has thought about doing a...

I used the premixes as a way of getting in to the new workouts but they really were quite challenging as I know that I am going to use them a lot when I am pressed for time. I really appreciate Cathe putting all the premox options into the newer DVDs.

Has anyone done this premix and if so is it easier, harder, or just different that the standard workout? I was thinking of substituting this one on the week 3 July rotation (I am a little behind on the sequence this month).

I thought that it was going to be one of the tabatas but it's that darn fitness circuit that gets me every time!

Sorry to hear about your shoulder trouble cocob1. I'm a devoted Cathe fan and a family practice doctor so I can give you my nonspecialist interpretation of the MRI and what I thnk may happen to fix your problem. 1. You have old damage at the AC joint and a couple of rotation cuff tendons -...

thinking about doing a plyo M3 rotation next Hi everyone, I am loving STS as well and in the middle of week 2 of M3 doing the squat stank option. Decide to go to the gym this week for week 2 of legs and I think that although I missed Cathe's voice and video, the exercises felt safer and I...

I think Cathe might count the bar but I found that confusing when I am working out and trying to change the weights out quickly so I only put in the RM1 testing what I load on the bar.

I am pleased to have gotten some pretty good strength gains and muscle development as I finish week 4 of meso 2 and I was wondering if you had any suggestions on how to keep some of those gains until I decide to do STS again. I would like to take the rest of the spring and the summer and then...

I have been using a carpet fun slides since I started STS. It works much better than paper plates for me and this is what I do to avoid the problems mentioned in previous posts: I turn the slides backwards so the little ribbing on the bottom does stop the sliding action and I just put the...

Thanks for starting this thread Regina! I'm in the middle of Meso 2 and here are my thoughts and a question for you. I have never done any really serious heavy lifting but heavier lifting is one of my favorite exercises. I, too, had DOMS after almost every meso 1 exericise but it not every...

Thanks for the posts and the links to the racks. I use my bedroom for lifting so I really like those Safety Stands, Dela. Did they charge shipping based on weight?

I completed disc 16 yesterday and was wondering if anyone else is having trouble hoisting that barbell up for the bench presses! It was tough last week at 70% of my RM1 but this week at 75% (It was 45 lbs. on my 10 lbs. bar.) looks like it might be my limit. Unless I find a rack locally that...

I am missing weight lifting this week but I'm going to try to stick with Cathe's plan to take a week off. So far this is what I have done: Monday: STS ball abs and 30 minutes run on the snowy streets of my neighborhood Tuesday: 45 minute swim (almost a mile) with a couple of fast intervals...
