Hi everyone! OK, I'm back at it. The little deload was just what I needed to recover and regain some gusto! Yes, thanks, Karen, I definitely got some good R&R in. :) Justine, yes, I'm still over 3k calories. One trick for me is that I have to start eating earlier. Not only do I have more time...

Hi commandos! I have to laugh at y'all's 'rest days'. Lib rides 300 miles on her motorcycle, Justine hikes 10 miles. Sounds pretty active to me! :D Lisa, why am I not surprised that you 'caved' (we say this like it's actually a naughty thing, LOL) and did LIHI Legs Live? Thanks for the review...

Hi all, Lib, I'm SO GLAD to hear you're feeling so great. That's wonderful! And I'm a jealous about all the outdoor time you get. Awesome job getting GS legs in even with company! Just thinking about those low pulse lunges (or whatever they are, at the end of the standing segment) gives me...

Oh wait! I have to tell you about my workout, huh? So I deloaded deadlifts. Jeffersons 4x12 115#, snatch grip DLs 3x12 115#, double DB hammer curls 2x15# for 2x20, hang at bottom of chinup position 2x30 sec (grip challenge), and standing resistance band crunches 2x20. Nice and quick, got my...

Great summary, Justine. I'd also note that the workouts are structured to use biofeedback testing, so on squat day you have three options: back, front, and zercher squats, and you do the one that tests best. Ditto, I think, for the assistance moves. There are two programs: beginner and early...

Can I send y'all a care package for your all-nighters? :)

Hi everyone! Great job and high fives all around! Lib, congrats on finishing your final! Tom, killer bench! Justine, OMG! Karen, great workout with jump squats, etc.! Lisa, hi mama! :D I did a Tom-inspired bench workout (minus the impressive poundage) today. I did 5 or so sets of bench press...

Lib, I didn't do that many squats! :) Though I'm sure there are that many in GS legs. I did back squats with a 165 pound barbell for x10 = one set of 10 reps. 2x10 would be two sets of ten reps (but I didn't do that). Luckily my toddler can't express her displeasure with my as-yet-unshowered state!

Hi everyone! Hope your week's off to a good start. I'm going to do some minor tinkering to my diet and training plan instead of jumping off the ship (unless the tinkering doesn't work). Today was supposed to be DLs but I've OD'ed on them (Justine, as you note, they just use too many muscles!)...

Hi everyone! Justine, welcome home! Sounds like you didn't whither away, strength-wise, over the weekend. ;) Awesome squats! Lib, hope your crazy week goes well -- it will be over soon! Tom, Karen, Lisa, great work as always and hope you are enjoying your weekend-end! Today's a rest day, but...

Hi everyone, Hope your weekends are going well so far, wheresoe'er you roam! Today was high-rep deadlifts. 200 x12, x11; 175 x15, x13, x15. A bunch of one-arm rows at 45# and 55#, AMRAP BB snatches for 5 mins (I only did 17 at 65#, I was just feeling kinda pooped this morning). Standing...

Hi everyone! Quick check-in for me. I did Cardio Mish Mosh Live -- thanks for the awesome rec, Lisa! It was just perfect. I like the moderate blasts format. Looking forward to ICE! Great job on your workouts, all! Yeah, we're all machines! :D Justine, safe travels and best wishes this weekend...

Justine, if it would bring you comfort, perhaps the rest of us can collaborate on an iron soundtrack? Sort of like white noise to lull you to sleep... ;) XO

Karen, 10x15 pushups and 35# one-arm strict presses 6x10?! YOU'RE A MACHINE! Wait... are you... actually... a machine?! I would feel so much better... :-P

Hi everyone!! Lib, WOOHOO! Congrats on your weight loss! Glad you're feeling great! :) And oh my gosh... and I think MY life is hectic. How do you do it, woman?? Nice job on your step workout. Tom, I love it! You're our resident dolt-oid! Great shoulder workout. Justine, sending good thoughts...

OK, I finished For The Love of Cardio this afternoon, just bopping around the living room. Well, about 1/4 of the time I was doing whatever DD wanted (e.g., hopping like a frog). But it was super fun! Perfect moderate cardio.

Hi everyone! Justine, I'm so sorry to hear about your mother's cousin. I'm sending my best wishes to you and your family. Hugs!! And great DLs/pullups in spite of lousy sleep! I HATE poor sleep before lifting. It's like, great, not only am I going to be TIRED all day, but my lifts are going to...

Yup. What everyone said. Love my Vitamix, couldn't do without.

Thanks for posting this, Lisa! Great stuff!

Hi everyone! Life is sort of returning to normal, and I'm breathing a sigh of relief! Thanks to all for your support. :) Lib, yay, welcome! So glad you're joining us! I agree with Justine -- go for Gym Styles but keep it light. I remember doing GS after completing STS Meso 3. I thought I was so...
