I love Keith's workout as well, but I don't find it as hard at Newport. I use a 15 pound bell for all of Keith's workout, but I alternate with different weighted bells in Newport, and I still find Keith's easier. Odd. I'm wondering why Providence and Newport are designed to use only one...

Thanks! I was expecting it to look like the one we got for STS Cardio, I guess. Looked right over it!

Unless I somehow overlooked it, my confirmation email for ordering the tower did not have a discount to use during the month of May. Is that coming in a later email?

I would think it would be helpful. I don't know how easy it is to wash gloves!

Judi, this one was hard for me too. I couldn't use my 1RM weights for much of it either. Actually, the 1RM suggestions have been very hit or miss for me throughout the whole series. I just do the best I can and move on. Perhaps Meso 3 will go better for both of us? :)

Good for you! :) I had to drop to my knees near the end of the close grip ones. And that's the workout where I had to go backward in weight for the chest presses. It was a very tough workout for me.

The ones that have been spot on have varied, and I have found that surprising. But it has been more the chest and back ones that have been off, and they were the body parts I did first when I was fresher. I was afraid the smaller muscles would be the ones that were off but they have been more...

Oh, I was planning to move on to Meso 3. I just don't know what to do about my weight selections. I did wonder about the push ups causing fatigue. When I do Gymstyles as is I have to use lighter weight for the chest presses than when I do the premix where the presses come before push ups. But...

I just did the Chest, Shoulders and Triceps workout for Meso 2 Week 4 and was very frustrated. My 1RM suggestions have been all over the place as far as accuracy for me. Sometimes I fail early, sometimes I can go heavier, sometimes they're right on. But I've always been able to increase my...

Thanks, Heidi. That doesn't sound quite as bad was what my SMIL went through. Maybe your fitness level helped some with recovery.

I have stocky German legs as well, and do have some veins that bother me. How long did it take you to recover? My step mother-in-law had it done and she had to wear special hose for a month and couldn't do any heavy lifting. That's probably the main thing that has held me back. TIA

This was my very first Cathe workout. When I got done, dh asked me if I was okay. I must have looked pretty rough. :p Amazingly enough, I decided to get more Cathe workouts! I guess I like being challenged!

I didn't think I would like Meso 2 because I really prefer alternating body parts, but I really did enjoy the upper body workouts. The three sets of chin up/pull ups were challenging, but I use one of those assist bands so I just had to push a little harder with my foot to get through all of...

Cathe, I'm having trouble with the stability ball ab circuit move everyone on the forum is referring to as the "ski" move. When you do the modified version, it looks as if you are taking your body to the side, similiar to the "C" move done prior. But when you do the advanced version it looks...

Hi Jillybean! I did the first week of meso 2 legs today. I'm afraid I didn't care for it as much as meso 1, however, because I felt it more in my arms than my legs! I went as heavy as I could on weights but I was feeling it more in my forearms. Of course, my arms are still fatigued from upper...

For me, it's the stability ball section. I didn't have trouble with the plates, but I'm rolling all over with that ball. I'm getting better, though.

Not for me! I've been needing to add air to mine for a while and I really struggled with those. I, too, was rolling all over the place. I've now done the routine three times and I did a little better the last time so there may be a slight learning curve to these moves.

During the first two weeks, I gained six pounds. I log my food intake so I knew I wasn't eating any more even though I was more hungry! During week three, the weight came off and I am now back to normal. However, I cut back on my food intake during weeks two and three. I don't know if that had...

I also had doms after doing 1 Rep Max testing, but haven't had them while doing STS (although the workouts are tough!) The STS guide is black and white. You may be thinking about the guide book for ChaLean Extreme; I believe it's in color.

I gained about six pounds the first couple of weeks and prayed it was water because I wasn't eating any differently, which was hard because I am definitely more hungry! During week three I lost four pounds and am hoping the other two come off soon. I was actually hoping to lose a little during...
