    Jessica Simpson's Body

    I MUST be missing the sarcasim. Seriously, does anyone really think JS looks "fat" in this picture? (shaking head in bewilderment). My eyes must have gone bad. When I saw the picture, I thought "Wow, Nice A$$!" If she is a size 12 then she must be tall. I think size 12 is size 16 in...

    modifications: repeat or move on?

    I was wondering about this as well. My plan was to move on (otherwise it might take years for me to finish the entire series). I'm doing a 6 month rotation and keeping notes. I figure I'll try STS again next year and hopefully I will be able to see lots of improvements. But since you've...

    Anyone else have a hubby doing STS with them?

    My DH said he was going to do STS with me, but he hasn't started. I'm going to prod him some tonight and maybe I'll get him to start. He was happy when I told him there was a music off option. He's been proud of doing his 3 sets of 10 push ups in the morning. I can't wait till he does...

    Lost

    Yeah, that's true. Desmond is special. Locke is special. I happened to catch an episode of an earlier show when Locke's "mom" meets him and she tells him that he was conceived by divine intervention. Who else is special? Richard and Daniel and Daniel's mom. I forgot about Michael not...

    Didn't Sawyer's wife in real life have a baby not long ago? Maybe that beer belly is really just pregnancy weight -- you know how sometimes the guys put on a few pounds of sympathy weight? I love this show. I'll be sad if Sun turns evil, but it looks like its headed in that direction. Or...

    I need financial advice -- help!!

    Okay, my DH just told me he lost his job. His job was a fluke and the chances of finding a similar job with anything close to the pay is pretty much nil. He's been there 6 years - but was considered self employed, so no unemployment or package or anything at all. We will not be able to...

    Advice for the unflexible

    Hi Cathe! My DH is going to give STS a try. I'm worried he'll get frustrated because he is so unflexible he can't even tough his toes. I don't think he could do a squat in the correct position or if so, he'd barely go down. I'd like to give him some tips on format, but I'm not sure of the...

    Holy Superhero Pushup Strength Batman!

    I just finished Disc 1. That woman is insane with the pushups!!! Chest is my weakest muscle group, and pushups have always been a huge challenge. BUT After the 2nd set I couldn't complete any more sets even dropping to my knees and I couldn't even do the last set on my knees at all. I...

    Another 1RM question -- SORRY!

    I'm sure this is out there somewhere, I searched and the thought of weeding through all the 1RM posts is daunting. So, maybe someone can answer or copy a link. After we have our 1 rep max number, do we need to calculate the percentage for each exercise in a given workout (i.e., 60, 70 or...

    4 in 1 chin up OR Perfect Pull Up Bar

    Thanks. My doorway is on the smaller side. I'm liking the ceiling mounted bar. I can install that facing the television and watch Cathe make pull ups look easy while I struggle to do my first one. (Perhaps another use for the high step will be to assist me with pull up in the beginning.)...

    Best Method

    Hi Cathe and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! I'm returning from a few months of not working out and it feels great! I did GS Legs a few days ago and I was not quite able to complete the workout (plus I've had hardcore DOMS for 3 days -- ouch, ouch whenever I move). I had to cut...

    Supersets/PushPull

    I also use SS or PP when I'm short on time. Also, I find that they are good for days when I'm not 100%, if I keep the weights moderate. Sonja.

    Muscle Endurance and Power Hour

    I find ME is a little more endurance and keeps my heart rate up just a bit longer than MM. I don't use PH that much anymore mostly because I really don't like the music. ME is my favorite all over workout. Sonja.
