    STS/Gym

    Hi! I did the same thing with Disc 12 (Legs) a couple of weeks ago. It works fine in the gym as long as you preview the discs and make notes of any rep pattern or anything else that catches your attention. Make sure, though, that the equipment you are going to use will be free by the time...

    Cathe, pointers on reducing forearm burn

    Just my HO.... You should use them only when your start to feel your grip give away... Otherwise you won't build the forearm endurance you will need for meso 3. I just finished 8 weeks of meso 1 and I only used them once in the last 2 weeks (I used them regularly during the first weeks)...

    How much weight does a man need?

    I agree about STS... in order to train properly with this program and see results you have to do the 1RM tests. As for Cathe's other DVDs I remember when I did them I went about 5lbs heavier than Cathe in dumbbells and 10lbs heavier for barbell work. But that was me... The safest way is to...
