    Suggestions on protein powder?

    I mix it with low fat milk and maybe throw a banana in... Haven't tried other tastes but I think that the best value for money containers come only in chocolate and vanilla. Other tastes come in smaller packaging.

    Hi Everyone!

    Hey Cathe! Just dropped in to let you know that I finished the 3-month STS undulation rotation today and I feel pumped! It went by like a breeze and I upped my failure sets by 2-3 reps on every workout! Woohooooooo!!!!!!!!!! Taking the next week off and then do some regular rotation until...

    Insanity DVD Problem

    One thing to keep in mind is that once you cancel the dispute you can't reopen it; ever! So if the seller does not come through with the refund you lose. My advice for the future is that you give the seller a certain amount of time to refund, before you file a claim. That way you are covered...

    Anyone try the Wavemaster II standing bag? (it's black with pink!)

    I have the one from the first link: Century Wavemaster II Free Standing Aerobic Bag ($109.99). I have no idea which one Cathe uses but I think that for those of us who will be training with it no more than once/twice a week a wavemaster at about $100 is just right. I usually spend $$$ on...

    Anyone try the Wavemaster II standing bag? (it's black with pink!)

    Hi Denise! I have a Wavemaster (don't know the model, though) but it's red with a black base and the height is adjustable. I've used it mainly for Billy Blanks's Contact Tae Bo (the inflatable one that comes with the DVDs is a joke!!!) and I am very satisfied with it. It can take lots of...

    Starting undulating rotation tomorrow...

    I'm on my next to last week of the Undulating rotation (did exactly what kerri did; 6 months of standard STS starting March, one month off followed by the undulating rotation) and I can't believe how fast it went by! The variety is awesome and you only get to do pushups once every three weeks...

    Standard rotation or undulating rotation?

    I can't really say how long a break you might need... I guess it all depends on whether you feel overworked doing STS. I took almost 5 weeks off STS (did the 6-month rotation) due to summer vacation and illness. Now I am knocking off 2 to 4 more reps when doing Failure sets in Meso 2...

    Standard rotation or undulating rotation?

    Nicole, As Cathe wrote, the undulating rotation is for advanced exercisers or people who have been lifting weights for more than a year. It is very demanding energy-wise and the ultimate shock to your muscles. Doing STS (which is already a magnificent program) in an undulating format is the...

    Can we burn DVDs?

    I'd like to add here that DVD-R or DVD+R recordable DVDs have a certain life span; in other words they degrade after a while. They scratch easier. This doesn't happen with regular manufactured/prerecorded DVDs.

    Anyone doing the undulating rotation currently?

    Just finished the first 3 weeks of the Undulating Rotation (Meso 3/Week1, Meso 1/Week 1, Meso 2/Week 1) and I am beat!!! Cathe advices that you should do one or two regular STS rotations (and be an advanced weight lifter) in order to move to an undulating rotation. Also, she noted that since...

    Hi Everyone!

    Thanks Cathe! I am really feeling my upper body overworked (and it's only been 3 weeks!!!) so moving all leg workouts mid-week is the solution I've been looking for! Chris.

    Hi Everyone!

    Undulating STS Rotation Hi Cathe! Stupid me! I started a new thread on this but then saw that you started your thread so I copied/pasted!... :D I'm so glad to catch you in the forums, because I usually miss it due to the time difference! :-) I am in the third week of the Undulating STS...

    Undulating STS Rotation

    Hi Cathe! I'm so glad to catch you in the forums, because I usually miss it due to the time difference! :-) I am in the third week of the Undulating STS Rotation (Week 1: Meso 3/Disks 1-2-3, Week 2: Meso 1/Disks 1-2-3, Week 3: Meso 2 Disks 1-2-3, Week 4: Meso 3/Disks 4-5-6 etc.) and I have...

    SNM, mistake in workout card #13

    I use both; and a curved barbell too. It's really no big deal. I just did 3 1RM tests, one for each barbell and one for dumbbells (I also do tri extensions on a decline bench sometimes). I just write down on the workout card which weight/bench level I will use that particular date. Although, for...

    Gone too far!

    Yikes, these are the arms of someone who died or is close to dying!!! I'm not 100% sure but I think the pic is retouched... or the lighting is bad... In any case you can notice where it's been tampered with... Look at her face (right off 1988-Like A Prayer era) and neck... they both look full...

    Using 1RM for other workouts

    Just did Supersets and calculated the weight load according to my 1RM. I used 60% and although it wasn't a breeze, it worked (with the exception of biceps... should have dropped to 55%)! Of course, I had to take a few extra seconds of rest time before each Round. I really can't believe how...
