I live in Ontario as well and I bought the slanted risers even though they cost me an arm and a leg ( and didn't tell DH). I just found that trying to do the incline work on the regular risers was unstable and trying to do the incline delt flies impossible. So I'm glad that I bought them. Lisa

I'm from T.O as well. Let me know if you find something!!

Thanks for responding Magda and SNM. The problem is probably the fact that the WM is rounding to the nearest number so I'll just add 1/2 pound pace weight.

I'm pretty sure that someone has brought this up before but I can't remember the responses from everyone. I'm about to start week 2 of meso 1 and have noticed that some of the exercises for week two are calling for the same amount of weight as the first week (60%) even though it should be 65%...

Thanks so much guys. Lisa

Does Cathe use a 6 footer? It looks a lot longer.

What would you use the weighted gloves for other than the weights and plates ab workout?

I am having a really hard time finding the right resistance band!! The package of 3 different bands has good resistance but are way too short for a lot of the exercises. So I bought a roll of so called medium resistance bands so that I could cut it as long as I wanted but the resistance was...

Thanks Beth. I was planning on doing the 31/2 month rotation but maybe I should do the 6 1/2 month. I'm just afraid that I will get bored. Lisa

So if we're talking about meso 1 which is endurance, is it better to lower my 1RM thus resulting in a lower weight for an exercise so that I can keep up with Cathe and complete all the reps or is it better to stick with my original 1RM and go at my own pace and not complete all the reps that...

Well the exercise in question was the leg press where Cathe is holding one dumbbell. In the video it doesn't look like she is struggling to hold it but looks can be deceiving I guess. But if 34lbs is only 65% of my 1RM for this exercise then I have no clue how I'm going to go heavier. I don't...

So my workout card is telling me to use a 34lb dumbbell for the leg press. But it's pretty hard for me to hold. Legs are fine but arms and hands are killing. Anyone else having trouble just holding the heavy dumbbells that this workout calls for? Lisa

Thanks so much. Lisa

Hi I'm still doing my 1RM testing and I know that for upper body I input the amount of one dumbbell versus the total of both but what about for the lower body like squats and lunges with dumbbells. Do you total the dumbbell weight or still put in the individual weight in each hand? Does it...

Thanks so much!! Lisa

So how do I deal with the strange target weight numbers like 7 or 11 or 13lbs? Do I just round up or down or get these plate mates that I've been hearing about. Do they fit on dumbbells or are they just for barbell plates? Lisa

Thanks so much everyone for all the links to ordering squat racks. But I live in Canada and I might have to pay more. Does anyone know of any online Canadian fitness equipment companies where I could order a squat rack? Lisa

Thanks guys for your input on the squat rack. Does it take up alot of space? Lisa

So what would be the most weight to have on your barbell before you have to get a squat rack? 50 60 lbs? How many of you have squat racks? Aren't they huge? Lisa

Thanks so much Stacey!! That helps alot. I wasn't going to watch the discs while testing but I definitely will now. Lisa
