Question on holding dumbells during squats or lunges I'm finding that in order to keep up with the weight increase as the workouts progress, I have to modify how I hold the weights. For example, I'm holding the dumbbells on my shoulders for squats and lunges. Although if feel more of a...

I'd love to take one of Cathe's classes live and in person. Can new people join? I live in the Valley Forge area.

When there is a discrepancy between the drop down menu and the workout card, what do you recommend? If you are not already aware, the following exercises do not appear on the drop down menu, but the card states to work at 70% Superset Seated Lateral Raise and Seated Rear Flys Functional...

Thank you for your detailed explanation. Will implement your recommendations until bugs are fixed. I believe so much in your product that I suspended my gym membership, bought all the equipment I need and follow your instructions as described. After only 4 weeks of use, I can't believe how...

Thank you for your reply. Even though you say the Workout Manager is a program you provide at no cost, it's a crucial part of the program. I am not aware of any other way to figure out a 1RM. So since you can't get the full benefits of STS as designed without a 1 RM, you must provide that...

I have only had to lower my 1RM for some lower body work, usually because my heart rate would sky rocket. I can't believe how incredibly well the 1 RM worked for upper body work . . . pretty much a well studied science.

I can't find the post, but I remember reading that since you will have strength gains after completing the STS series, you will want to retest when you start the series again.

The workout card for Disc #6 shows 15 exercises need a 1RM. The drop down menu lists only 13. Wall Squats Double Leg (body weight) and Front Squats Narrow Stance (dumbbell) appear to need a one rep max test on the workout card, but do not appear on the drop down list. Although the workout...

I had the same exact problem today. Everytime I did a 1RM, it would show up on the right hand side, but then when I did the next one, it was gone. SNM, why is this happening. I need my 1RM to do the workouts :)

I did all of my 1RM for Workout 6 and saved them. 8 did not show up on my workout card. I even powered down and tried again. Nothing. What am I doing wrong? I had no problem for the first 5 cards. Is there someone I can talk to live to figure this out. Also, are exercises 519 and 407 the...

Cathe, I'm just learning as much as I can through this program Thought that was something intrinsic to weight training and I didn't want to miss it.

Cathe, What do you mean by . . . What do you mean when you say when we are preparing to do the Front Squats Narrow Stance (dumbbell) "This time instead of heels elevated, keep feet flat." I went back to the first set of squats and there is no mention of foot position? I was able to pick up...

I did all the 1 RM testing for disc 6 and saved them. They would show up on the right hand side of the screen, but when I did the next test on a different exercise, it no longer appeared as being completed. Although I saved and entered all of my testing for disc 6, there are still several that...

I agree as well. With such a top notch program, it was disappointing to see many moves where the men lack on form. Obviously, it has had no impact on muscle growth for them, but it looks bad and they are prone to injury. I give Cathe a lot of credit since we are able to pick up poor form from...

I recently heard in the news that legal action has been brought against teens that are sexting. Teens have been arrested. You can probably google these stories and maybe you can take the "it's against the law". This is unchartered waters for both you and your son. But it would be terrible...

Exercise 224 One arm preacher curl on stability ball appears on my WM and Disc 1 WorkOut Card as completed. When I viewed Disc 7 WorkOut Card the same exercise shows up as NA for target weight. Why is that since I completed the 1RM for this exercise?

Slumdog Millionaire was one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. When I see a movie, it's usually out of my mind the same night. With, Slumdog Millionaire, I was telling everyone I ran into that it's a must see. Someone asked me if it was annoying to see a movie with subtitles. I...

Will extended breaks between exercises minimize my endurance gains? Another great workout! I need to take extended breaks, usually after the push-ups, all on my toes :), Just wondering if I will get the same endurance gains if my breaks are twice as long on some exercises. I know that if I...

Thank you so much. That worked! I guess it's the drop down menu for disc 4 that needs to be fixed not the workout card. Lina

Mesocycle 1 Disc 4 Workout Card has 3 errors Seated Rear Flys into Band Pulls Seated Lateral Raise Both Arms High Ends dumbbell Seated Curls Alternating Both Arms dumbbell These all list to lift at 65% one rep max but workout manager does not allow you to take the 1RM test for these...
