Hi, I started on Monday too and I'm doing the "modified" rotation with 2 weeks on each of the Mesocycle 1 weeks (week 1 twice, then week 2 twice, ...) and then one Mesocycle 2 and 3 as if I were doing the regular 3 1/2 month cycle. My reasoning was because it fit my schedule; I need a break...

I also found that when I tested the 1RMs with a weight that let me do 15-20 reps, my 1RPM was way too high. When I retested with a weight I could only do 8-10 times, like I was supposed to, the 1RM was right on (and considerably lower). So you really want to use a weight that gets you into...

Someone more official may have a better answer, but I don't think it should matter. I used the weight of a single dumbbell when I did my calculations, so my 1RM was calculated as the weight of a single dumbbell not the total weight. So, if my calculated % of the 1RM was 8 lbs, I would grab two...

If you print out the workout card for the first two workouts, the appropriate weight will be calculated for you. In the Workout Manager, click on STS. Under Quick Print an STS Workout Card, choose the workout you want to print out, then click View & Print. The card will come up. You will...

There may be other ways to do it, but this worked for me. In the Calendar, go to today and then click the gray arrow next to the STS workout on the right. Click the Edit Workout button. Scroll down. Your workout card is there except that now you can change the Weight and Reps fields. Enter...

Mary, that's what I'm doing. From my preview of the first of the squat rack tapes it appears that the girls are all using barbells and dumbbells with the weighted vest if they need extra weight, while only the guys were using a squat rack. I'm 40 lbs overweight and the plyo exercises are harder...

Yes, I think they go up each week. In Mesocycle 1 you go from 60% to 70% of the 1RM, in Mesocycle 2 from 70% to 80% and in Mesocycle 3 from 80% to 90%; you also go down in reps in each Mesocycle.

When I first saw the number of exercises that 1RMs would be done for I was a bit frustrated and overwhelmed also, but really its not that bad once you get started, and I think worth doing. I just made the 1RM testing my weight workouts for a week and it was actually fun. The Workout Manager is...

If you print out a new workout card for the day that exercise is performed the new value for the 1RM will show up on it. Your rotation lists the workouts you will be performing on what days and changes in the 1RM shouldn't affect that.

I got mine today; ordered in March.....

I got mine at Amazon. I have Amazon Prime so I didn't have to pay shipping; not sure what regular shipping is for them, but they cost $17 and $14 for the 4 & 2 lb sets. 4 lb set (two 2 lbers) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HH92QY 2 lb set (two 1 lbers)...

You could use Cathe's weighted gloves to add one pound to each hand. I have one and two pound wrap around wrist weights with a thumb hole that lets me get to most of the intermediate weights and don't interfere with holding the dumbbell.

You count 28.5.... barbells can have different weights, mine's 10 lbs. You always include the weight of the bar in the total.

It turns out that my order was listed under my old telephone number (two years old), although my new address was correct. I know that I gave my new number for recent orders, but the old one still seems to be in the system. If you've changed phone numbers since you first ordered with Cathe try...

Couple problems with new Workout Manager The new Workout Manager is really cool. I've had a few problems though in trying to enter my own rotation. Some of the STS disks are mislabeled in the menu, for instance Disks 4-6 are labeled M2-W2 and Disks 7-8 are labeled M3-W3 and they should be...

I just received my shipping notice too - don't have my order number but I ordered at the end of March so we're moving through the Spring orders <g>
