Has anyone changed up their nutrition plan with Ripped with Hiit? I start on Monday and would love any advice, guidelines or tips you have for me. I'm doing the 2 month rotation, and my goal is to lose 10 pounds and gain lean muscle. I am 5'3" 125lbs and have been working out for years off and...

Hey guys! I have been working out with intermediate to advanced workouts consistently since 2008. I'm 25, in good health and weigh about 115 (5'3"). I prefer strength training, but I do get in traditional cardio 1 day a week and HIIT's either 1-2 days a week (I have Cathe's HIIT workouts)...

I bought P90X and tried it for about a month, and then I found STS (back in 2008 maybe??). I loved STS compared to P90X because it was more weights. P90X has a lot of yoga/stability/synergistic workouts....which is a great change for your rotation, but it wasn't my cup of tea. I LOVE ChaLEAN...

I haven't had any problems with it, and I've been drinking it since 2010 most days. I started with chocolate, and now I do the strawberry daily. I do know that they reformulated it about a year and a half ago to include 4 new ingredients (Moringa, Luo Han Guo, Coconut Flower Nectar, and...

Is there anyway to include a PDF of all of the individual discs of STS (like the 1RM PDF)? I love that the workouts are online, but I hate having to sit there and print each disc's workout individually. It would be even MORE fantastic if there was a 3-month PDF of STS and a 6-month PDF so I...

Hey everyone! I am (re)starting STS tomorrow, and I want to make sure I am eating the right amount to gain lean muscle and get rid of the mush. I did the Harris-Benedict Principle, and my calories were: BMR: 1362.05 Maintain Light Exercise: 1872.81 Moderate exercise: 2111.1775 I...

Hey! I'm doing the 3 - month program....I just like the fact that I could look better in 3 months over 6 hehe. I might do the 6 month after this initial one (but hopefully I'll need larger weights!) :) What are you doing?

Hey 2BLean and Krasi! I am so glad someone else is starting Monday too! Im really excited but a little nervous too! I am using old fashion barbell/heavy dumbbells so I'm scared of meso 1 since it moves quickly! Alot of my 1RM are about the same weights so hopefully I won't take 2 hours to do a 1...

Thanks ya'll! I think I will go to the doctor about it, but I'm glad it probably isn't serious and I'm not very weird :) Thanks again!

I recently cut out most/all of my high frutcose corn syrup. It's great and I've lost a little weight (which I didn't NEED to loose any...so 3lbs consistently lost was huge!) Be careful though--HFCS is in almost everything! You just have to read labels like crazy! :) I suggest Jillian Michael's...

Thank you so much for the advice!! I am postponing starting until I have completed all the 1RM (or atleast a couple of the beginning discs). I have EAS whey protein, I might try to start using it and see how it goes. I'm hoping my diet will be okay, but I might have to up protein (or calories by...

Hey everyone! I'm new to Cathe and the forum! I am starting STS tomorrow and have completed my 1RM for disc 1 already. I seem to be right around the average besides the barbell curls. Do you add the weight of the barbell itself or just the weights? Also, any tips from the veterans would be...

I've been working out at an intermediate level for about 2-3 years now, and I just bumped up to "Cathe's KICK BUTT level" (I LOVE IT! I love this website too! You're amazing, Cathe!) :D My question/concern is that when I do certain excerises my shoulders pop. They have done it for as long as...
