Hi everyone! Lisa, interesting that you feel kinda 'meh' about the spin bike for home workouts. I don't have one, but I can imagine feeling the same way... maybe kinda stuck in place? ;) Great work on RWH BSB -- those workouts are really killer. That sneaky Cathe -- ever modest! :) Justine...

Hi everyone! Hope everyone's doing well. Lib, wow, you sure are doing a lot! We certainly recognize it -- I hope those in your environment do, too -- and give you the back pats, high fives, etc., you have earned! Justine, did you say aioli? OK, I'm grabbing my XTrain set now... Agreed about the...

Hi everyone! It's COLD out there! Eek! Karen, glad to hear you got to escape to greener (redder?) pastures. I've only been to UT on a layover at SLC, but I'd love to explore Zion national park someday. I love love love our mountains out East but out West... it's just a different scale. So...

Hi everyone! Hope you're all well. It's. So. Cold here. Blech. I was going to take today as a rest day (sleep was awful, too -- DD woke up at 4:45...), but I was just feeling so cooped up that I needed to plow ahead! I've basically had a rest week, anyways. I'm feeling another step better today...

Hi everyone! Starting to feel a little better today. .. slow and steady, right? I'm definitely at the point where exercise (within my limits) makes me feel better, which is GREAT! Doesn't hurt that I continued my boxing binge today with my new FAVORITE accessory, pink boxing gloves!!! I am in...

Morning, commandos! Very quick check-in for me. Still feeling under the weather, but my energy is up somewhat. Yesterday I did Gloved Up & Ready Live and my bench deload -- I just did a set of weight work whenever Cathe did a cardio blast, as I really wasn't up to those yet. Today was the...

Hi Commandos! Man, this has been one zinger of a week... I've been really sick for basically the entire week... the worst cold I remember having, pretty much ever. Or flu, or something, I just don't know. I'm still just feeling zero energy. Usually even if I'm under the weather, a little light...

Hi all, On my phone trapped under snoring toddler so sorry if this is terse. First of all, great work all around. Monday was squats, worked up to my one long set at 75% (AMRAP), 150# for 20 reps. Then some accessory stuff and 25 mins of an STS plyo legs w/o. Yesterday I came down with DD's cold...

Hi, all! Super quick check-in for me, but I want to show signs of life to my Commandos. :) DD is super sick with bad cough/cold/fever type thing, so we've really got our hands full. :( Lisa, mama, GREAT workouts as always. You are awesome!! :D And thanks for the Live rec's... see below...

HI EVERYONE! I've missed you all! I've enjoyed catching up and reading about your exploits. We had an unexpected, last-minute family visit -- that and a more-demanding-than-ever toddler and just having generally signed up for too many things this spring sort of took me off the computer this...

Hi everyone! Great job all around! Yeah, Tom, I hear ya -- I'm still feeling my 115# squats from Monday! Today was PRS1 -- been thinking of it for a while. :) Lib, safe travels today if you do go out. Enjoy back and tris. ;) Roz

GS is awesome. Elsie, the weights are moderate but there is hardly any rest!

Oh, no, Lisa and Tom, last week was deload. I'm not that tough. :)

Hi commando pals! Pardon me for being brief today, toddler madness continues (cute madness, but high-maintenance madness)! Great job everyone!! Karen, KB stuff sounds great. Can't wait to hear! Justine, 40 kg paused bench for 4x6 sounds pretty dang impressive to me! And any tempo triceps work is...

I second Orgain! Love the chocolate flavor. Great with unsweetened almond milk, doesn't need anything else. Sunwarrior chocolate is also pretty good, but you can taste the rice protein.

Hey crazy commandos! I'm cracking up here... Justine, great work on front squats! Also, I'm sooooo not worried about you 'exploding'. You can just walk 75 miles and call it good. ;) Tom, a beltless PR at 310, dang! Great work!!! Lib, ugh, so sorry about the dodgeball and school woes. Lifting...

Hi Commandos! No workout for me yesterday. Today was a gentle squat deload. 115# for 4x5 then I did band-assisted wide-grip pullups for 3 or 4x5. That was it. Tomorrow I'll do a bench deload, just some easy benching and maybe some pushups. I'm not even doing a full 7-day deload, so I'm really...

Hi everyone! Quick check-in for me today. I got Afterburn in (trying to be like Karen) -- with some toddler-induced, but not unwelcome, breaks. Whew! OMG, I am getting nervous about the teenage years from this thread!! Lisa, can't wait to try the new Live, ITA! And Happy 9 Month Birthday in...

I haven't done MM tris, but I always find that smaller muscle groups poop out more quickly and suddenly than larger muscles. Same for isolation work vs. lifts that involve more muscle groups. Also on something like tri isolation work, going from, say, 8s to 10s is a 25% increase, which is a ton...

Hi everyone! Sounds like you're all busy! Lib, GL on that quiz. You'll make it through with flying colors. Really -- you've been on STS for 3 weeks? Where does the time go?! Lisa, oh my, yes, the rolly-polly age! Wow, what a big girl... is she 9 mos yet? You'll get to ICE in good time, I've no...
