    Probiotic supplements

    My doctor recommended PB8 which I take, although I think I'm going to back off a bit since I was on it initially for antibiotic side effects (antibiotics kill you good gut bacteria) and probably don't need it any more. I may try the once a week thing to see if that works for me. But I...

    Question on gloves/pace weights/ rest time!

    Shanihib, I have to stop and blow my nose a lot, too! Have you ever tried nasal irrigation before working out? I haven't, but recently discovered the technique when I had a bad cold. Hum...may have to try it myself!

    Steel Cut Oats

    Another thing you can do instead of doing them in the crockpot is to soak them in water overnight just like you would beans. That will speed up your morning cooking time. Also, make a large batch, keep extras in the refrigerator, and reheat in the microwave in subsequent mornings. I don't use...

    pace weight question

    I got the set of 18 weights (9# total since each wt is 1/2 a pound). I also got the case. I don't strictly see the case as being necessary but it does keep the weights nice and tidy if that is important to you. I have not used the weights all that much until STS. Now what I do is set up as...

    Sore, sore, hallelajuh I am sore

    AngelaP, I am so sore in my lats, too, from Disc 1! I was wondering about that, too, and figured it was the push-up variations? My tri-s are sore from the straddle push-ups in particular. I think I'm going to do legs next to give my back and tris a longer rest.

    Overhead press vs. front press?

    I like that website, too! I didn't see a dumbell front press so I'm thinking it's going to be the same exercise as the overhead press. We'll find out soon!

    To do or not to do...Legs 1RM

    I'm not planning to do 1RM for legs, either. I only have 55 lbs for my barbell or 60 lbs total (2-30's) for dumbells. If I did want to do my 1RM's I'd need to head to the rec center. I'll see how it goes with the first Meso and decide from there whether or not I want to test my legs for the...

    Overhead press vs. front press?

    Yes, when doing my 1RM for these exercises, I was trying my best to keep my weights more "forward, like putting clothes on a shelf". But it was quite difficult to do that with my elbows forward and really felt like a standard overhead press with weights held parallel (as opposed to in-line...

    Overhead press vs. front press?

    I guess no one knows? Since the second exercise, the Seated Front Press, doesn't come until disk 13, I'll have some time to figure this out. But if someone who has completed their 1RM remembers what they did, please let me know!!

    Overhead press vs. front press?

    Hi, I was doing my 1RM tests for shoulders today and was confused on the difference between exercise 621 which is "Alternating Seated Overhead Shoulder Press" and exercise 675 which is "Seated Front Press Alternating Arms (elbows forward)". The pictures in the pdf file make it look like the...

    favorite premix on 4DS

    My favorite way to do this workout is to make my own circuit. I start with 3 or 4 drills then just skip over to the first set of tris/bis, then jump back and do the next few drills, then back to a set of tris/bis. Your DVD player should make this easy to do. I save the last drill to do all by...
