Disc 11 completed and I am very happy that I didn't feel like crying as I did on Disc 10. Not to say that the workout was tough - it was in a good way. I am feeling 70% of my 1RM. I decided to set up my bar stools with a body bar to do the chin up versus the tubing - what was I thinking -...

Although I haven't done disc 11 & 12, disc 10 is running in first place right now. I didn't know my shoulders, chest and biceps could scream so loud.

I will be traveling during week 3 of mesocycle 2. I am going to try to workout twice a day to stay on track when I return. If you can't do the workouts while you are out of town, then just start where you left off.

Cathe I did disc 10 this morning and boy my shoulders, biceps and chest were screaming at me all day. Once again I did all the pushups on my toes and after every one I wanted to cry. I did chest flys (a first for me) with 20 lbs weights and I was proud of myself and I still wanted to cry...

My first time #49, Can't wait.

Disc 10 is the killer. Up until this point, I liked Cathe.

It's been 2 weeks since I have done disc 3, but the memory still lingers, probably because disc 9 is just as tough - especially the bonus. I did the tip about using the step to set the dumbbells on for the wall squats and it worked out well, I was able to use 15 lbs versus dropping to 12...

I am on week 3 of STS, disc 8. I started using my weighted gloves in Week 2 and the little extra is making a big difference. I am really enjoying the workout and I spend everyday reviewing the next one to do. My only regret is that I don't have anything to do chin ups other than the tubing...

Hi Cathe I started STS on the 2nd and today was Disc 7 and I just want to know, is it necessary to start out with push ups. It's great that you are posting and doing the system with us. BTW, exactly how many push ups are there?

I started on 2/2 but I can't wait to read about everyone's comments. Happy Shocking

Thanks for the tip.

Cathe Would it be possible to give tips about what weight to use when your 1RM is an odd number. Rather you should go up or down, for instance your 1RM is 27, should you use 25 or 30.

I am so excited, this will be my first one if I remember to sign up before all the spots are taken.

Hi Cathe I'm a lurker, never really post, but I really really love STS. As a part time personal trainer, I hope that these will get me in the best shape of my life. Thank you.

Steph I plan to follow the cardio on Tues Thurs & Sat while doing STS on MWF

August rotation I can't wait to get started. I completed my first Cathe rotation when I did July and I really enjoyed it.

I saw Deazie in the August issue of Fitness magazine and I just want to say how great she looks. I wish I could look that great in shorts.
