I think it did me a world of good. I was feeling so fatigued after Meso 1 that it allowed me to focus on cardio more, and get a bit more sleep. When I started Meso 2, I felt ready, and stronger!

I was nearly here after disk 15! Deadlifts just about did me in and left my lower back VERY sore for 2 days but it never quite turned to a full on pull. Feeling for you!

I really enjoyed this one too. I'm loving the more leisurely pace, plus my weights are lining up better with my barbell/dumbbells without too many strange combinations of gloves/wrist & ankle weights! I felt a little DOMSy yesterday, but interestingly enough not too much today (although I KNOW I...

There are several mini DVDs that feature multiple products. It describes the product, and then gives some demos of how to use it. In some cases, multiple exercises. I think it would be very helpful for ideas in putting together workouts for when you don't have a DVD player.

I go from 3-50# dumbbells (3-20# in neoprene dumbbells, and 5-50# with Epic adjustable dumbbells) plus a barbell that could easily go over 100#, but the most I've used has been 78# (that will go up).

Thanks for the heads up. Sports Chalet has her equipment on sale (at least I think they are still on sale - headed that way soon,) and I was thinking of buying the tubes... but would have gotten the wrong ones! :)

One note to say that the next day my middle and lower back are SORE... to the point I'm concerned about throwing out my back. I'm definitely treating it very gingerly! (and backing off the deadlift weight since I'm pretty sure my form suffered yesterday... I was really struggling.) So be careful! :(

Yes, I used a hammer. I'd put the gym together to make sure it fits inside the moulding (if it is too wide, you won't be able to use it). It was a pretty easy install.

the safety wedge goes at the top of the frame on th opposite side of where the irongym will go. It goes where the wood is attached to the wall. Even very old homes should have this seam (although yours might be very covered by lots of coats of paint!)

You don't screw it into the wall. It rests over the top of the door frame and on the moulding. Trust the picture/instructions that came with it. Then you'll see how it uses gravity to stay in place once assembled. :)

Can't wait!

nope! (sorry)

You can buy the mesocycles separately!

Totally shaky at the end... unable to lather up in shower... hands shaking while putting on makeup (fortunately it doesn't show!) LOL Definitely a thorough workout. I failed with the preacher curls at rep 5 on the first set so I reduced down quite a bit and still barely got in the reps! Crazy...

You know, I think it was the prior sets that killed me so that by the time I got to the plate work, my muscles were quivering and spasming just to pull myself back up (especially the sides lunges with the plates). It wasn't so much the weight, as simply pulling out of that lunge. ;) One day...

Becky, you liked the plate work in between the squats? I thought it was a cruel joke to see what we were made of! LOL (just kidding, well kind of !) Just about killed me!:o

Anything where I'm on the ground... he'll jump on top of me! It makes it impossible to do anything which is why I have to crate my sweet doggie... I can't just close the door. He knows how to open them! :eek:

Good to know! (Now you know I haven't tried either of them :P)

Enjoy the workout. It is a toughie! :)

That makes so much sense... and confirms what I've always suspected and told people. :) Nice to know!
