Done with Disc 40 Squat Rack Legs. I was able to do all 8 reps BUT the front squats were soooooooo tough!!! They still felt awkward to me but from checking my form in the mirror as much as I could, I looked like my form was fine. My range going down was pretty limited compared to a regular...

I did it!!! I even added weight on a couple of exercises to round up the weight and use a plate rather than an "add on" (about 2 pounds on flat chest press and one or two other exercises) so I may even be about 6% stronger. :p I started rows thinking "Why is this so hard?" (I use the small...

Ali - I used a 15lb also on the crossbody triceps and I went into it thinking "this is not going to happen..." LOL! But I did all of them, too! Actually, a lot of this workout was feeling easy to me with the exception of barbell bicep curls. I wonder if I should use heavier weights next...

This plyo workout was a favorite for me, too! Those one legged jump squats were TOUGH! On the last few, I caught my other leg trying to help out. :p

LOL! My dh and I still use that quote occasionally.

I bought an outfit from them. I ordered a M long sleeve top and a M skirt. (I typically wear either 6 or 8). Well, neither of them fit! I had to exchange for a small skirt and a large top! And I am NOT top heavy! Nor am I bottom small! I'm more of an apple so my stomach/waist is usually...

I loved Ricky Shroeder. He was so cute!!! :) Also, when the movie, 'the Outsiders' came out, I loved all of them! Matt Dillon was always my favorite.

I use the handheld water bottle (3rd item down) if I am planning to run for longer than an hour. I still would rather NOT run with anything in my hands but I didn't want the belts either because the last thing I need is something making me look and feel bulkier. :p Oops - meant to post a link...

I, too, have a lower heart rate during upper body. Mine is around 70% but I feel like I'm lifting as heavy as possible. I'm certainly lifting heavier than ever before - that's for sure! I'm feeling strong and also impressing myself with my weights. I love that!

I'm loving Meso 3! I was dreading it before because the thought of going heavier seemed risky to me but I feel like I am actually able to handle the weights. My question - my one arm rows were really heavy. I was only able to do about 3-4 reps with my elbow actually going completely up...

I did both workouts. Tuesday I did Plyo Legs using either no or very little weight. Since I was using way less weight than Cathe and crew, I skipped the rest between the leg exercise and the plyo exercise. I DEFINITELY took the break (and needed it!) after the plyo, though. My plan was for...

(holding up my wine glass to LauraMax) HEAR, HEAR!

I completed disc 25 this morning. I have a little confession to make - I shortened some of the breaks (only slightly!) between the chest and back exercise just because I felt like I was resting one group of muscles while putting a different group of muscles to work. I felt pretty good about it...

Hello Cathe & fellow STSers! I went for a nice, short morning run today. (I was squeezing it in between my boot camp class and taking my son and myself to work/school.) I took a different route than usual and ended up doing a lot of hills but it was definitely a challenging workout. Tomorrow...

Push ups are back! I think that's a good thing.... :) I was surprising myself with those heavy weights. Thinking ahead to the Strength phase and then even further as to what I'm going to do after STS. I may repeat Meso 2 or Meso 3 or Meso 2&3. Anyone figured out what they're going after...

I finished disc 21 this morning. Have I ever mentioned that I dislike bicep work? Well, I really, really do. I had to lighten my weight after the first set of curls and still had to cheat a few. Bicep curls can be so painful! I couldn't believe my estimated weight for the deadlifts was...

I tackled disc 20 this morning. It was tough but I think last week leg workout was tougher, IMHO. (I may change my mind tomorrow depending on the DOMS.) :p It felt like this workout was quick but not rushed! I tried one set of static lunges with my barbell but felt wobbly and liked the feel...

Felt strong this morning! At first, when I started the first heavy set of chest work, it felt really heavy but then I surprised myself as the weight increased. Even on the cross body extensions I saw my calculated weight and thought "no way! That's not going to happen!" but I gave it a try...

I'm glad I'm not the only one!!! ;)

I always go into biceps work with dread because it's my weakest muscle. Hopefully someday that dread will go away. (but not today!) :eek: Back work was good. I like working my back but the barbells rows are getting heavy enough that I always feel like I'm losing form by the end of the set...
