    Barbel Pullovers

    Speaking for myself the ONLY way I feel these are if I pretend my arms don't exist and put all my thought into the back muslces. IMO this is one exercise that requires 100% focus otherwise other muscles take over.

    STS CHECK IN DISC 5...

    disc 8, week 3...I was able to go up a lot in weight, I was suprised at how much. I've been sleeping really hard this week! Those BB rows wipe me out, I'm really pushing myself upping the weights as much as I possibly can. I can't believe next week is week 4 already! I really like meso 1

    my shoulders are made of.....

    I did disc 7 last night and I agree it does seem harder than the first 2 of CBS. My shoulders and biceps are more sore today than they've been so far on STS.

    STS CHECK IN ....DISC 4

    I"m on week 3, disc 7 CBS, I"m really getting the "flow" of the exercises this week, but those dang pushups! I did a lot of them using my step bench, this helped keep so much pressure off my wrists too. I keep saying this, but its amazing to me how we can work so hard but the workout is over...

    for those of you who have not done 1 rep testing

    I do not regret it at all. I have workout journals and referred to my weights during my heavy routines and have found most of the time the weight I've chosen for STS is pretty much spot on. I"ve been training a LONG time and know my strengths/weakness pretty good.

    STS Check In DISC 3...LEGS

    I"m a day behind (sinus issues) but I did disc6 legs Saturday and I'm still sore this morning! As another poster said these are tough workouts but knowing I"m only doing 1 set before moving on to the next exercise makes it easier to push myself. The wall squats w/let extention was the...

    STS CHECK IN DISC 2

    I'm on week 2 disc5 and a day behind due to a sinus infection. I don't have a pullup bar so I"m using my squat rack/barbell . I can not do the overhand grip, it kills my wrists for some reason..underhand doesn't bother my wrists so much. I"m not strong enough to do "real" pullups yet, but...

    When Cathe is your standard, . . .

    I love variety, while I agree Cathe is top notch, so are other instructors IMO. In regards to form, I have been to a few Kickbox classes where the instructors form was not good but I know what good form is so that didn't bother me. I focus on the workout. I like taking live classes...

    Push Ups - Straight Leg or Bent Knee

    I start out on my toes and drop to my knees, pushups kill my wrists. I need to try the suggestion another poster had of using a rolled yoga mat. Straddle pushups are so uncomfortable for me, don't know what I'm doing wrong but my shoulders pinch (and wrists hurt) when doing these. Its so...

    STS CHECK IN....DISC ONE

    I"m on week 2, and did disc4 last night. Those pushups are wicked! I have never been able to do very many pushups on my toes. (always wondered if my heavy mid section had something to do with it!) After the first set I had to go to my knees, then later in the workout to table top position...

    Why in the world did I use Hydroxycut?!?

    I tried it years ago and got heart palpulations..it was awful and scared the crap outta me. No more pills for me. Oh, and I'm fatter now than I've ever been but there is no way I'll try any kind of diet pills again.

    Well, I just took a pay cut

    Sorry to hear that, I"ve been in your shoes 2x in the last 7 yrs with the company I work for (not government) and I have been so close to being on the "list" of departments losing jobs (160 people the first time, 35 in the facility I work in)....its not a good feeling. Sending prayers your way

    Why it's fun dating out of your age range

    I don't think it shallow, one of the great things about getting older is we KNOW what we want so why settle for anything else? lol, back hair is one thing I cannot abide! I used to work with a guy that had a very attractive face but he was SO hairy! Not my cup 'o tea. I had a co-worker...
