    stronger and weaker side

    Ela How has balancing your arms been working out for you? When I did STS I found the same, that my right arm was the stronger. I used the same weight for both, but I would always start with my left arm and go to failure, then repeat that number of reps on my right arm. By the time I finished...

    STS first time!

    The end in sight I can't believe I'm about to start the final week of STS! I've never really accomplished anything like this before. When I'm finished I'll take a week off then I think I may do P90x again for something different (and finish it this time) In the Fall I think I'll come back and...

    Has anyone had surgery for impingement OR for removal of bone spurs in the shoulder?

    I haven't, but my brother, who pitches college baseball, did last year. He saw this really great sports guy in Delaware, He's kind of the doc everyone goes to whose had the surgery botched up by others (he figured he'd skip the first part). Anyway, he waited about 6 months to start pitching...

    Loved disk 25! Although I'm not at all looking forward to plyo legs on Wednesday.

    When You've Finished STS...?

    I'm just starting Meso 3 of STS for the first time and am starting to think about what to do when I'm done. I think I'd like to take a break from heavy weight training for a little while, but still try and maintain the muscle that I've gained. To those of you who've been here before, what...

    STS first time!

    Hi everyone, I know it's been a while since I checked in with you all, but I've been keeping things up, I'm about to start Meso 3 this morning! I'm also going to start a new thread about what to do when you're done STS. I'd love to get your input!

    STS first time!

    Hey All, I know it's been a while since I checked in here. It was a tough week for working out for me! I had to move my wed workout to Thursday (trip to the zoo) then Friday I was working, and yesterday we had a wedding that took all day (when you count driving time). So I'm finally headed...

    STS first time!

    So no workout for me yesterday:( Friday is the one day I work this semester and we were having car issues, so had to drop one vehicle off before I left. My almost three-year-old son was not happy at all about us dragging him out of bed at 7. Then by the time I was home I was way too exhausted...

    Carolyn - so how are you feeling today? Is your hip alright? I am stiff all over!

    STS first time!

    I felt like such a looser today. I could only get about 2/3 the way through disk 14. Ugh!:( I think I need to stick with lighter weights overall in the leg workouts instead of powering up with heavy ones at the start and wearing myself out too quickly.

    STS first time!

    So far not sick, although I can tell my body is fighting it. I really enjoyed disk 13! I think I hit a max weight for the chest flys - I started to feel a warning twinge in my elbow:( I'll have to be careful, I don't want to mess up a tendon or something. Sometimes the weight between...

    STS first time!

    Yoga Max today. Not my favorite yoga workout, but I think it's growing on me. Anyone else? Boo, stuck at home from church this morning - my 2-year-old son has a seriously runny nose I don't want him to pass on to the other kids. Unfortunately, I've come to accept that he will pass it to...

    STS first time!

    Starting on Monday too. Meso 1 seemed to go by so quickly and now this week is just DRAGGING! I can't believe I was looking forward to the recovery week. I want to get back in it! ~Rachel

    STS first time!

    Jen - I know Colleen said she wasn't a fan, but I really like Shiva Rea's yoga workout dvds. My favorite is 'Fluid Power,' even though there is a bunch of mystical nonsense the workout is completely customizable and you can simply choose not to do the tracks where you sit/lie there and...
