Welcome Wiggie! I just started on my 3rd (I think, lol) round of STS (can't get enough!). I should be on Disc 5 by now, but I've been a bum all week (as you'll see if you read through this weeks thread, lol :rolleyes: ), and I'll be doing Disc 4 today, 6 tomorrow, and 5 on Fri to make up for it...

Hey all! So I wimped out on STS again yesterday, I honestly should have just declared this a rest week and started all over on Monday :rolleyes: . I did 4DS KB (cardio) in the AM, and then DH gets home and decided that he want's to work his core, and asked if I'd do Ab-circuits w/him (he...

Girl, 65 is good! As long as you're lifting as heavy as possible for you, it's all that matters. ;) That's all I was saying. I just know that for me, I am completely spent after the final rep :eek:, and therefore need every morsel of rest in order to be able to put out the amount of reps...

Regina: First, I wanna say I'm soooo sorry to hear about your dog :( , we have one that is like my son's sister, because she's been around for so long (11yrs), and I know that day will come one day, but I never want to think about it, so go ahead and enjoy your chocolate - I won't judge (I can...

I still feel like crap, and honestly don't feel like doing anything :( . I feel that whole "end of TTOM headache" (you know, the one that becomes a freakin 5 day extravaganza?! :mad: ) on the verge, and I keep worrying that it'll only take one wrong pushup or overhead press to send me into...

Steph: in Meso 3, I bench & row around 100lbs (98 in week 1, 102 by wk4) . May not be too impressive, but I'm a shorty, and it's really heavy to me :). As for the slim in six, I won't judge you :o , because it took me nearly 3 rounds of STS before deciding to purchase squat rack legs, due to...

Sorry you ladies are both feeling bad, too. Seems like the tummy's are calling the shots around here, and NOT in the form of being flat and toned :mad: Katie: your vote won, lol. I just gave it all I had, and called it a day. I wish the cramps would do the same, seems like they have no...

Hey ladies. It's a no go on the cramps, they decided to stick around regardless of my many attempts to medicate/sedate them :( . I decided on an elliptical run since I really would have been no good doing STS right now (no energy for those pushups!) Tracy: welcome back!! glad you enjoyed...

Regina: I think a rest week is a great idea! I'm a firm believer in taking a rest when needed, and I can say from experience that one week off won't make or break the progress you're seeing. The only thing I have to remind myself on break weeks is that my body no longer needs the same amount of...

Hey girls! Crampy, bloaty, nonsense all weekend, and I couldn't even look at my w/o room :rolleyes:. If it weren't for DH doing STS I would've forgotten it was even there (except for the fact that he BLASTS the tv when he's working out, so that everyone knows he's in there, lol. Haven't...

Hey ladies! Thought I'd get us going on a new week/new month thread ;). This is also an invitational opportunity for any ladies that were considering joining. :D For anyone who is unsure on what the STS pyramid is about, feel free to check out the thread here. Basically we are doing the...

That exercise is from STS, meso 1 (legs) ;) But if you just wanted to learn the form for that one, you could go into the workout manager, and under one rep max, you can select the exercise (wall squats) and there will be a video showing how to perform that exercise, as well as any other STS...

Erin: my db and bb collection are both adjustable only (allows me to go extremely heavy, which I like, but can be a pain in the butt during faster paced Meso 1). I have two bb's: one curl bar (the kind w/bent areas for easier hand placement during bicep curls) & one that's Olympic sized that...

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I.AM.SO.READY!!!!!!!!! :eek: :D :eek:

Wendy: we're posting at the same time ;). Congrats on even more weight loss, that scale (and WW& BR!) are really treating you right these days!

TGIF! Today was disc 3 - Legs. Ummm, new bands + firewalkers = :eek: !! I'm SO gonna feel that one tomorrow, possibly tonight :confused: , also threw in the Extended Stretch for good measure (can't be too careful w/ Ms. Achilles :( ) Katie: I think I've "accidentally" clicked on KB instead...

Finished today's w/o this AM, did MMA Boxing, which is good for me because it's achilles friendly (minus drills of course) and has ab work, and is under an hour. Can't get any better than that :cool: Katie: I think it's safe to say that you wouldn't veer too far after a week off. Don't...

oooh, Natalie, you are a good one, cuz only about 30 of those brownies would have made it past the cutting stage :o , let alone bagging! :eek: I ADORE brownies! Yes girl, get the bands! I would have never thought it would make that big of a difference, but OH...MY...WORD! Even grabbing the...

Good Morning Ladies! Hope everyone is enjoying their recovery weeks, while I slave away in the gym :p , lol. Yesterday was disc 2 (back/tri) & the Extended stretch. Ladies, if you only change ONE thing on your next STS round make it this: get a new band!!!! O...M...G...:eek: This was all...

Good Morning! Yesterday was disc 2 (back/tri) & the Extended stretch. Ladies, if you only change ONE thing on your next STS round make it this: get a new band!!!! O...M...G...:eek: This was all DH's doing. When he was in M1 he decided that our band wasn't giving him enough challenge (I...
