    Anyone go lighter with STS weights?

    I had to go lighter than my 1RM calculated for all my shoulder exercises. My shoulders are just not a strong point, and unlike all my other areas I couldn't push a weight increase at the pace STS implements either. So I just lowered to a weight that worked for my shoulders and adjust as I'm...

    Clicking in hips

    I have that weird clicking whenever I do bicycle crunches and some kicks. I asked my physical therapist about it and he felt on my hip as it happened and said for me it was actually not the hip popping but the ligament/tendon/muscle whatever, catching as it slid OVER the hip bone in front. So I...

    BC Pills and Increased Appetite

    Another thing, because there are so many varieties of birth control pills it may take time to find your right 'fit', it took me a couple years to nail it down.

    BC Pills and Increased Appetite

    ETA: there a multiple pills you can try. I have personally tried many different ones before I found the right 'fit'. Just know you need to take them for about 3 months to really know how it's going, unless you have a dramatic side effect of course.

    BC Pills and Increased Appetite

    Increased appetite and weight gain can be a side effect of all hormonal birth control. Depo is notorious for weight gain. At the same time, it is all about how each person reacts to their BC method. Some women lose weight. There is no black and white answer

    Thank you for Turbo Barre!

    Thank you Cathe, thank you!!! This came out just in time for me. I've been participating in roller derby since July and at the end of September I took a fall that didn't look too bad. However it managed to fully tear my PCL. Not a fun injury, and it has a long recovery time with or without...

    STS for beg (post -preg)?

    I have awful chronic tendonitis in one wrist. The best thing to do for a push up is to hold o to a sturdy dumbbell instead of having your hands flat on the floor. Personally I use my turbo tower with the bar down really low so I can work my way into a regular straight leg push up. Flat hands...

    Call me boring and not a hip mom...

    I think some parents just don't mentally graduate high school and still want to be 'in' with the popular crowd. What drives me nuts though is when I hear someone knows about this going on and doesn't report it. It is illegal and they are putting other people's children at risk. I don't get any...

    Food processor vs. blender

    Your blender is alway going to turn stuff to mush or liquid. Whereas a food processor can give you more of a fine chop. Plus it comes with different blades that will allow you to make shreds of things like a cheese grater would. I find my food processor way more useful than my blender. I can pie...

    Endurance-Building Suggestions?

    This is so odd, I just joined the roller derby league in my town too!!! Last night was my first time up on my skates and it was awesome!!!! Endurance is very important for this sport, but one of the best things you can do is just get out and skate. If you don't have free access to your rink find...

    Need help explaining family dynamics

    In my opinion it family dynamics are how a family interacts. Such as a traditional 2 parent household where the father is the main provider and the mother is a stay at home mom. Or maybe a single parent household where said parent also works full time. Or any other configuration. Is the mother...

    Iam So Freaken lost HELP!!!

    STS is made of the three mesocycles. If you do all three with an active recovery week between each month(cycle) that is the three month rotation. The five month rotation uses all three mesocycles as well but this time for mesocycles 1 and 2 you repeat each week twice to make the normal two month...
