    muscle vs. fat

    Hi everyone, I've been doing STS for the second time around and notice I've been gaining a couple pounds. My clothes fit just fine so I guess I must be shrinking replacing fat with muscle. I am confused about all the different opinions regarding "muscle weighs more than fat". A pound of fat...

    STS mesocycle 2

    Hi, This week I start mesocycle 2 and I've noticed that the weight amount suggested for each exercise is way to high. Should it not automatically record proper weight amount used based on mesocycle 1? For instance, for one leg elevated lunges in mesocycle 1 I used 9 pounds, now in mesocycle 2...

    Sheila, can you tack this one at the top?

    pregnancy workout Hi Sheila, just wondered if there is a specific workout for "moms to be" by Cathe. Or do you suggest just keep on doing our regular workout, like for me STS with appropriate weight reduction as I go into my 2nd trimester? I am just 6 weeks now. Thanks, Ela

    Cathe's clothes and foot wear
