Thank you everyone. Yeah, I noticed that if I brought the bar much closer to my chest I started to arch my back to get it back up. That's why I was wondering if I should lower my weight, but I'm glad to hear from all of you in the "educated crowd" that I'm doing OK. Thanks again! Steph

Thanks Thanks, that makes me feel better. I thought maybe I was "cheating". :-)

Hi Cathe, I have a question for you regarding form on bench presses, both flat bench and incline. This morning I did STS disc #25 (I'm starting the undulating periodization that another Catheite posted.) and I noticed that I was only able to bring the barbell down to where my arms were...

STS results Hi Cathe, I just wanted to let you know that although I didn't lose really any weight and my measurements changed only slightly (for the better) this morning I was doing KPC and realized that my arm flab was not flapping around making any noise at all when I was jabbing! Yeah...

Hi Belinda, Hang in there! I know it's incredibly frustrating not to be able to work out, I hurt my back last year and had to take a couple of months off of working out and I too thought I would go insane. Just keep walking and doing what you can but let your body heal or you'll be fighting...

Plyo Legs!! Be afwaid, be vewy vewy afwaid!

Oh, so that's what that means! I had no idea! :-) Steph

I also wanted to say thanks for the article Cynthia. I guess it's more of a mental thing, thinking about what I'm eating, etc.

Thank you! Wow! Thanks for all for all of the replies. Although, you didn't say what I wanted to hear. :-( I'm going to print out the diet suggestions and I think I'm going to check out the books you mentioned geomom and asudaizy. I guess it is a little silly to put all of this time and...

Hi Cathe, I don't want this to sound whiny but I'm kind of bummed. I keep reading about how everyone else is melting off the inches with STS. While I love the format of STS and love how strong I feel using the heavy weights I'm really seeing no difference in my body. I've gotten the old...

STS Check in Hi Cathe, I actually did disc 7 this morning. (DH and I run a hiking trail near our house together -well, sort of together, he waits about 20 minutes for me to finish :-) - every Friday so I changed my weight days to T, Th & Sat.) Anyway, I just wanted to join the fun of the...

OK, I'll do that. Thanks.

Hi Cathe, I have a quick question regarding the workout cards. I have been printing my cards and later in the day inputting the actual weight that I used when the suggested one on the workout card is either too light or too heavy. What I'm wondering is if these amounts will go into the...

Thank you Thank you for the good ideas. I think I will try either putting the weights up on end or putting them on top of something. That seems like it would work. My other problem is that the "wall" I'm using is just the studs that are holding up the paneling that the people who owned our...

Hi Cathe, I did week one legs on Saturday and have a question about the wall squats. Just an aside, my legs were very sore for two full days after doing this workout! Yippee! I knew I was in trouble when they were already getting stiff that evening. :-) Anyway, the wall squats where you...

me too! I did Disc 3 on Saturday morning and my legs are still letting me know about it! I knew I was in trouble when they were already feeling tight Saturday evening. I LOVE IT! I didn't really feel much in the way of DOMS with disc 1 or disc 2 so I'm happy about feeling it in my legs. Steph

What a fantastic story! What a blessing!

Thank you Thanks Cathe. That's what I'll do. Take Care, Steph

combining this rotation with STS Hi Cathe, I am planning on starting STS tomorrow (yeah!) and was wondering if it would work to replace the weight workouts in this rotation with the STS workouts. It seems like that would work to me but I wanted to see if there was some reason not to do...

Thanks OK, thanks for the information.
