    1RM Test - So Easy a Caveman can do it

    How would I count my reps on the 1RM for an exercise like #181 Barbell Curl Wide Grip when you lift 1/2way up for 7 reps then start at the top and go 1/2way down for 7 reps then do a complete lift for 7 reps? How many reps would I enter into the calculation? I used an 11 lb. barbell with 20...

    1RM Problem

    I am finally getting back to working out after a few years of doing pretty much nothing. I'm getting ready to start STS again and I am redoing my 1RMs. I am having a problem...when I enter the amount of weight and # of reps then hit calculate it totally changes the reps or the weight or...

    Redoing 1RM?

    I'm redoing my 1RM's 'cause I know I didn't push myself hard enough the 1st time. Also, I want to see how much I've improved. Anyway, I'm not sure how to count reps for exercises that do odd things. For example: Dbl. Rows both arms (exercise #113). Cathe has us doing 7 rows then stand, then...

    SNM: PDF not working for me

    I can't get my workout card to print in PDF. I went to calendar, edit workout, save & print, clicked on the PDF icon at the top then Adobe opened with the message "There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found." I am using Internet Explorer 6.0 (which has always worked...

    Weight Lifting Hooks

    Do the Altus hooks work with DB's? It's hard to tell from the picture how wide the hooks are. Also, can you use them for overhead movements like shoulder press or do you have to take them off? Nanette

    The weighted vest

    I got my Cathe Vest at Walmart.com for about $30. It's 10 lbs. I saved on shipping by having it sent to my local Walmart and picking it up. Also, you might try Amazon or Ebay. Good Luck! I found out it helped a lot. Nanette

    The weighted vest

    I'm glad you asked that question. I was going to post the same question yesterday. I had a feeling I was cheating myself and sure enough! I forgot to split the weight of the vest between both hands. I thought it felt kind of easy.

    STS foot wear:

    I've had plantar fasciitis for the last couple years and I even quit working out 'cause it would irritate it (occasionally I probably used that as an excuse). I found out about the ECCO RXP3060 shoes. They are designed specifically for this condition. They are expensive...usually around $120...

    Does anyone else have this problem?

    I'm trying to rearrange my rotation workout to put legs between upper body by dragging the workouts over to the new day but it keeps popping back to the original location. Has anyone else had this happen and did anyone figure out how to do this? Thanks, Nanette

    Does anyone remember...

    how to undownload the STS Rotation? I saw something awhile back and can't find it. I originally downloaded the 3 month rotation and changed my mind and want to do the 6 month one now. I thought I read that I needed to undownload the 3 mo. and redownload the 6 month but I can't seem to figure it...

    Question about Rotations?

    Thanks Gayle! Your answer did help. I'm with you on thinking that doing it for 6 months will help me stay accountable longer. I still hope we get an answer from Cathe also. Is Cathe going to be doing the 3 month or the 6 month rotation when she starts on Monday?

    Question about Rotations?

    I saw this question posted earlier but no one has answered it (at least from what I've been able to see). What are the main differences or advantages/disadvantages between the 3 1/2 month and 6 month rotations? I hope I can get an answer 'cause I've done week one this past week and have to...

    Disc 19?

    On Disc 19 there is an exercise #659 - Prone Incline Rear Fly's w/Dumbbell. I can't find that anywhere on the One Rep Max Chart. Disc 8 has exercise #162 - Straight Arm Flys Prone on Incline Bench. Are these the same exercises? I watched both on the DVD's and can't tell any difference. If there...
