With the set of squats at the beginning of the squat rack workout I didn't want to do the same squats again.
I just checked out your suggestion on the 4DS DVD. I'll try that. THANKS!!
I start Meso 3 Sunday. I'm using dumbbells and weighted vest for the squat rack workouts instead of a barbell and I need an alternate exercise for the front squat. Any suggestions are appreciated.
I read recently in one of the threads someone subbed an exercise for the front squat but I can't...
Per link for thread below would it be possible to add a feature to the Workout Manager for workout cards with suggested weight amounts based on our 1 RM's for other Cathe workouts?

I did M1 for 4 weeks and am doing M2 for 8 weeks. I'm on week 4 (the 1st week of 2) of M2 now. I'm seriously thinking I'm over training myself. I'm lifting heavier then I've ever dreamed I could. I'm not overly hungry but getting a little burned out and I'm tired all the time. I haven't added...
I'm doing 8 weeks of Meso 2 right now with 2 leg days and 3 cardio days each week. Last Friday I was behind 1 leg and 1 cardio W/O so I decided to do Disc 26. OMG!!! I loved it. I'm proud to say I didn't pause but I was gasping for air and cussing out Cathe!! Sorry Cathe:D I may do this more...
I got 2 pair of hook thumb wrist weights at Target. One two pound set and one four pound set. I got the Cathe weighted gloves and her hot pink yoga mat at Big 5 Sporting goods. I got the slanted risers and the gray step bench I use as a weight bench from Cathe.com. Gliding plates online also...
Lori,
good for you too!!!! I lift up to 50 pounds at work (sometimes more) and before STS I had to use more leverage then lifting to accomplish it. Now I'm able to lift much easier. I too am getting comments about losing weight but I've only lost 3 pounds.
I'm liking M2 better then M1. It...
How has the strength gains from STS translated into everyday life for you? I work retail grocery in the meat dept. and I have a side dept I stock. I do a lot of heavy lifting. I did M1 for 4 weeks and doing M2 for 8 weeks. I start the second round of M2 week 2 tomorrow. I've noticed a definite...
I bought the Cathe weighted gloves from Big 5 Sporting Goods a couple of weeks ago and the box says "one size fits most". No mention of S-M-L. I have medium small (hope that makes sense) hands and they fit fine.
Hi Beth,
I'm doing Turbokick, Cardio Coach on a stationary bike or cardio drills like the mixed cardio premix from Cardio Fusion or the interval premix from Amy Bento's Hi/Lo Xtreme. I also like the timesaver cardio premix from Bodymax2,
I'm doing legs twice. I did different Cathe lower body workouts during Meso 1 for the extra leg day but now that I'm doing Meso 2 I'm planning on doing the legs disc twice a week. I'm doing Meso 2 for 8 weeks doing each week twice. Sunday is my long workout day. I get up early while DH sleeps. I...
I started with tubing. I have the Beachbody b-line bands and I was using the next to the heaviest but it just wasn't cutting it. I'm using my Fluidity Bar now. Major difference!
I totally forgot I have ankle weights that adjust in 1/2 pound increments. I ran to the closet and dug them out to try them on my wrists and they work!! You just saved me money. I was going to get the thumb hook wrist weights but no need to now. THANKS!!!
