    Men's Locker Room Check-in

    Easy there Chris... A "biting" sensation?? I have a hard time following this advise, but pain really isn't good. Really think about a few days off. It's so hard to do. I just finished Meso 2, and followed with some treadmill time. Stopped a little early because my knee was bugging me. (See...

    Men's Locker Room Check-in

    I'm trying to figure out what I want with the 20% off that comes with STS Cardio. I have almost all the DVDs. We can use it until the end of April, which is about when I'll be done with the first round of STS. Maybe some circuit stuff. I think I'd like Hardcore Extreme, or the terminator...

    Men's Locker Room Check-in

    Hey all, Two workouts left in Meso 2. I am ready for a break, just like I was at the end of Meso 1. Imax today, didn't jump quite as much as I could have. I'm kind of tired today, so I modified a bit. Did you guys order STS cardio? I must admit, I did on the first day. I'm afraid I'm...

    Anyone take Ambien?

    I've been taking Ambien for probably 6-7 years now. I once had a pharmacy give me the wrong prescription by mistake, and I thought I just had grown tolerant of it. I was sleepless 10 of those 14 nights. Otherwise, it has worked probably 363 out of 365 nights per year. I do think I eat more...

    Hi Guys, The 2nd week of Meso 2 was much better than week 1. Maybe I was just a little off during week one. My wrists didn't give out this time, and I loved the back off sets. Things are going well, but I'm bummed that I'm halfway done already! Ben

    Men's Locker Room Check-in

    Hi! I overdid it a bit today with jogging and then disc 16. I took a couple of days off (Both boys had a stomach bug, then my wife, too. Long 48 hours. I never got it, though), but it forced me to give my forearms a break. Chris, I'll check into those wrist hooks. Today went well, and I...

    Anyone having trouble with iTunes?

    I got the same thing. "Not a movie file"

    Men's Locker Room Check-in

    Good job with your first step workout! I remember my first one, and it was nothing as complicated as Cathe. Once you get the choreography part down, I think you'll love the cardio challenge. It is my favorite cardio, by far. So, I could hardly finish disc 15, not because my back or biceps...

    Men's Locker Room Check-in

    Hey, good job you guys. Imax 2 is such a good workout. Glad your foot isn't getting worse, Chris. Kevin, you'll love the rest week! It was such a needed break. I'm planning on disc 15 this afternoon. I'm finding that my weakest part of my body may be my forearms. They give out way...

    Men's Locker Room Check-in

    Sounds like things are going well for you guys. The "elmo" pushups were too much for me on my toes. I tried about 1/4 of one and did the rest of them on my knees. Chris, don't injuries seem to happen at the worst times? Glad things are getting better. I ended up doing squats with a barbell...

    Anyone having trouble with iTunes?

    I've downloaded all three shows on itunes, but I can't get them to play... I've double clicked the heck out of them - like I would any other podcast, but they stubbornly stay untouched. Ben

    Favorite Ab Circuit

    Med ball by far for me as well. And abs are my least favorite body part to work. Ben

    Men's Locker Room Check-in

    Hey guys, I'm a bit jealous here in MN - someday, though, I'll do a road trip. I'm glad you guys get to go. I'm one workout away from finishing Mesocycle 1, and am really looking forward to the rest week. I wasn't sure what I thought about taking a whole week off - now I'm very sure I won't...

    Any Valentine Birthdays out there?

    Men's Locker Room Check-in

    Hi guys, I've just finished week 2 of STS and it's really everything I hoped it would be. Week two was much easier figuring out weight selection, because I was able to see where I needed to tweak things from week 1. Chris, the only up side of having to wait so long is that Cathe is starting...

    Dumbells too heavy to hold, but proper weight needed for exercise.

    I'm in the same boat. My fingers are getting tired, even with gloves. I know I could've done all the deadlifts, but my hands couldn't take it. And we are only in Meso 1! Ben

    Men's Locker Room Check-in

    I did STS 3 on Tuesday, and haven't quite recovered yet! (Thursday). It was a very fun, very hard workout. Unlike any leg workout I'd done before. My hamstrings especially are feeling it even two days later. I did an hour on the treadmill today, and will do STS 4 tomorrow. I really think...

    STS 3 bonus, where'd the guys go?

    I had to laugh when I saw it was only the girls left during the bonus legs. I also laughed when I dropped the paper plate and kicked my stability ball across the room! Ah well. The legs DVD was great - I know I'll be sore tomorrow (and the next day, and the next) This is great - having a...

    Men's Locker Room Check-in

    Hi Guys, I've done STS 1 & 2 so far, and I'm going to do #3 later this afternoon. I feel like I'm getting the flow of the workouts and didn't seem to be scrambling as much to find things during the second workout. I think I'm really going to like doing weights on one day and cardio on...
