I forgot to mention this--I "discovered" workout DVDs at the library. My husband and I go to the library most Sundays for books and audio books, but I never paid much attention to the workout DVDs. Mostly because I have so many of my own and I like to schedule things (rotations), so checking out...

Thanks everyone. The concert was awesome--I love the Counting Crows. I actually haven't been feeling too well lately but I'm still getting in my workouts tho I have slacked a bit on doubles. My husband and I bought bikes and we've been doing a lot of riding so sometimes instead of doubles we...

No--Someone asked about that and they said that Chiseled Upper Body is a separate workout. There is no compilation of the Muscle Meltodowns: http://cathe.com/forum/threads/muscle-meltdown-segments.301637/#post-2319591

It's been a very busy week! The last time checked in was Wednesday. It has been a sore, sore week. Lots of DOMS. Thursday: STS #15 Chest, Shoulders & Triceps; Doubles Butt Bible Level 3 Lower Friday: Crossfire + Core Saturday: EBE2 Weighted Plyo Legs + Plyo Upper Body + STS Extended Stretch...

I am so SORE! My chest, my triceps and now my glutes. This morning was Ultimatum Bronze + Turbo Barre abs & stretch only. Planned doubles is RIPT90 Death by Thruster. Jodi--I'm a little bummed about that, too. I wish they were doing an upper body compilation like she did in Cross Train Express...

This morning was STS #14 Legs + 100 Rep Hip Thrusts. For Meso #2 I increased the weight on my barbell for the hip thrusts. Ouch! I felt it! My glutes are still stinging! Planned doubles is KBKB Scorcher Diversity (KB core workout). I know her name! I guess since it is the first week of Meso #2...

I'll post more tomorrow but I just want to say it is not Deazie I am referring to. I know who she is and I like her. This is a woman who I cannot recall seeing in anything but STS. She might be in other workouts but I've never noticed her. She is very noticeable in STS tho.

Tom (and everyone here)--I agree! Muscle is beautiful! I was especially noticing it today during STS #13--Cathe is so ripped and it is beautiful! Nothing ugly, masculine or unattractive about that. I would love to look like that. Unfortunately, I feel this new era of Social Media has changed so...

Healing11--I really love PiYo. And yes, it is much harder than you would think. I actually frequently had DOMS from it, and some of the workouts (Drench in particular) I sweat profusely and hit muscle failure multiple times! I also was finally able to do lots of tricep push ups on my toes after...

Good morning everyone! Today was day 1 of Meso #2! I do love hypertrophy! I also remember now how irritating I find one of the cast members of STS. Everything moves so quick in Meso #1 that I don't notice her, but now I remember from the last two times I did STS how much I cannot stand her in...

This morning was EFX #3. My recovery week is almost at an end. I have enjoyed it but am ready to get into Meso 2. Jodi--that VF forum post must have influenced a lot of people. When I read it, I found Weider Pink on Walmart.com (for $48) and on Amazon (for $75 + $16 S&H I think). Well, when I...

This morning was Mobility Rx #2 + Anarchy Free Flow. Doubles was Focus 30: Hips. I was not crazy about Focus 30: Hips. I am still working on the review--it should go up tomorrow. It was a good workout and it did work my hips, but there was a lot of balance work plus the moves are compound and...

Hello everyone! I am enjoying my recovery week! Tough workouts but I'm not killing myself, tho this morning's EFX really challenged me. Sunday: P90X2 Recovery & Mobility Monday: EFX #1; Doubles KCM Your Health Back Tuesday: Mobility Rx #1 + Anarchy Free Flow Wednesday (today): EFX #2 I am off...

This morning I officially finished out Meso 1--whoo-hoo! I am seriously looking forward to my recovery week. It will be made up primarily of Mark Lauren workouts--so bodyweight only work for a whole week. This morning was EBE2 Weighted Glutes + Weighted Upper Body + STS Extended Stretch...

I'm back to normal! My heels still felt bruised on Wed. after work, so I skipped doubles, but I was fine yesterday. Yesterday was STS #11 Back and Triceps and doubles was Butt Bible Level 2 Lower. This morning was RwH Plyo HIIT #2 premix 2 (Plyo HIIT 2 followed by Plyo HIIT 1) + Bonus Abs #2. I...

Hello everyone--sorry I haven't been checking in as often as I usually do. Jodi--I like to use extra time for a longer workout too! In fact, yesterday I took the day off work and did my morning workout + planned doubles in one long 90+ minute session! Healing11--congrats on completing Chalene...

Hello everyone! I just haven't been visiting the forum as much. It seemed like this check in was petering out and I can't keep up withe the rest of the forum--too many posts to try to read. But I'm glad folks are still checking in! Welcome Cre! I just finished my 3rd week of STS Meso 1--my 3rd...

I am really loving this STS hybrid rotation I put together. I am really feeling it every single day. Constant DOMS. I think it's the best rotation I have ever put together. I will definitely be needing my recovery weeks! We'll see if I get results at the end of the 15 weeks! Last time I checked...

Well, Nathalie--I wouldn't trade the experience of serving in the military for anything now, but back when I joined I did so because my parents didn't have the money to pay for my college and I didn't have the grades to get any scholarships. Also, since my parents didn't go to college, they...

I agree with all of you. Strength isn't just about lifting iron. There are many kinds of strength work, which is why I am a big fan of Mark Lauren--bodyweight strength is some of the hardest and most effective strength work you can do. Push ups, pull ups, pistol squats, planks--and all...
