    Moving On, Cautiously

    Hi SoCalGal - my chest muscles are not as strong either - the left side just does not seem to be able to cooperate - so I don't push it - I'm happy I can do knee push-ups rather than nothing at all.

    Moving On, Cautiously

    Thanks to you and everyone for their kind words, advice, and inspiration. You are right about being careful. I had six lymph nodes removed. I had no problems until last January when I did a little too much too soon (at least I think that is what caused it) and ended up with something called...

    Moving On, Cautiously

    My first post ever. I'm looking for information/advice from Cathe or anyone. I was just reading about the 1RM and how important it is to the program. I have ordered the STS and am feeling frustrated as I don't think I'll be able to follow the program exactly. I am capable of lifting pretty...
