Anybody else finding that their 1RM must have been wrong? That the weights that were calculated were either too heavy or too light?

I'm close to finishing STS for the 1st time. I would like to repeat it again, using the 6 month rotation. How long do I have to wait before repeating STS again?

I've noticed that my heart rate really spikes with intense bicep work, more so than other muscle groups (except for legs). Is that normal? Thank you

I have the same problem. It's been saying 1125 calories burned for the year for the past several weeks! And I have been working out, marking them as "done" but the amount doesn't change. I have the same problem for weekly counts. It will show 366 calories burned for the week despite having...

I get the same problem, especially in my right shoulder. I find I have to go lighter for flies than the calculated weight. Lots of ibuprofen!

entering new 1 rep max I've realized in some exercises I either overestimated my 1 rep max (especially dumbells since 1 arm is weaker than another) or underestimated by 1RM. When I go to the calculator and enter it, it automatically reverts to the information I originally entered. How can I...

I did the first leg rotation of Mesocycle 2 on Tuesday, now it's Friday night and I'm still can't walk right! Each one area of the thigh/glute gets better but another starts to hurt more! It is quite amazing...

So body parts are only worked once/week? If I seem stupid I apologize... JULES

Do you only do the STS workouts once per week?

I use Gym Styles BSB & CT 1/wk and then do ME-giving me 2 upper body workouts for the week. Is wrong to mix the 2? I'm looking for upper body strength and definition. I enjoy mixing up workouts every few weeks to avoid boredom. I have S&H but I don't like them due to the concentration...

I just bought it but haven't done it yet. Just looking for opinions...

Thanks everyone for your replies. Usually when I'm on 3 straight 12's, all I can manage is to sleep/work. I admire your ability to get up and exercise before you go to work. JULES

Just curious... I work 12 hour shifts and it makes for a difficult schedule to fit in all the workouts I would like. Hoping someone else has a good idea...

I live in Vermont and we've had the same thing. It was mild through to early January and THEN winter hit. It hasn't been above freezing for a couple weeks. I work nights and have come home in the morning to find it's -11. BBBRRRRRR... JULES

Along the lines of this topic here's some trivia: did you know that a tiger can jump 15 feet off the ground from a sitting position? Now there's a tuck jump! JULES

Maybe this is on the wrong forum but I'll ask anyway. I work 12 hour night shifts and have a hard time fitting in the workouts I want to do. Hoping someone has suggestions. JULES

Just curious-where did you go in Vermont? I live in Bennington... I'm a nurse in the ER and we take care of alot of skiers and I would have hated to see you here as a pt!

My husband thinks you're crazy. He has watched me work out with your new DVD's and he can't believe the moves you come up with. I think he envisions you sitting around a boiling cauldron conjuring new ways to cause us pain! But seriously how do you create such fantastic (and effective)...

I am SO glad to hear that someone else cannot do all the reps! I don't post very often because I'm intimidated reading what other exercisers can do. I too very much enjoy the workout. I did it in its entirety once and could hardly stand upon finishing. Afterwards I did GS back, bi's and...

I am so glad to hear I'm not the only one who struggles with lower abs... JULES
