me again :) I just stumbled across FitnessFreak's rotations (she's the BEST!) and found this one, which I think will work really well for me! WEEK 1 Day 1: GS Chest: 72 pushups; S&H Chest only, skip pushups; GS Chest only, do not do the close grip presses; IMAX 3 step only. Day 2: S&H Triceps...

Hi friends! I saw another posted describe her body as a "marshmallow with four toothpicks in it" and literally LAUGHED OUT LOUD! This is me to a TEE! I'm the definition of a ectomorph (long dangling awkward limbs). I really want to gain strength and mass... and would REALLY appreciate a solid...

Hey all! I'm a newbie. I'm a yoga / cardio junkie - and have decided with the new year that I want to switch up my routine and gain some MUCH NEEDED muscle (I'm "skinny fat" aka <-- long and lanky but no muscle). I really like the comfort of knowing that I have a plan - so I've decided to go...

You're good, nckfitheart2009! I should have clarified :) For me a "treat day" might include a calorie surplus (currently eating 2300 calories a day... treat day might be anywhere from 2500 - 2800 ). I also eat primarily whole foods, so a treat day would include more processed and refined...

Hi friends! Right now I'm trying to feel more comfortable incorporating "treat meals" or "treat days" (not to be confused with "cheat meals / days".. which suggest guilty behavior). I'm just wondering what kind of training is best to do on days when I might be eating a surplus or calories /...

Thanks so much for the feedback! How does this revised rotation sound? Again, I want to focus on building strength / mass in my upper body: Monday: meso 3 shoulders / biceps / triceps Tuesday: 15 minute HIIT + 30 minute barre Wednesday: xtrain shoulders / chest / back Thursday: pyramid...

Thanks so much for the response! Definitely looking to build some lean muscle and mass! (Which is primarily why I'm not including cardio in my rotation. I'm trying to gain a little bit of weight). I'm 100% pear shaped... meaning, I store fat in my legs and they can definitely get bulky...

Hey guys! so I'm really focusing on lifting heavy to build strength and muscle. I really want to emphasis the biceps / triceps / and shoulders! If someone could give me feedback on my rotation I would REALLY appreciate it!!! Monday: Barre training for legs (I usually do Physique 57 or...

Thanks so much for the rec! I have both burn sets as well, but I prefer the formatting of the regular xtrains (cycling between different workouts). I'll definitely consider switching it up with the burn sets though!

Hey guys! So I just recently purchased the Xtrain chest / back / shoulder and biceps / triceps DVDs. What really attracted me to them was how Cathe conducted them in "rounds". I tend to get really bored doing the same lifts over and over again, so I love this style of trainig. It makes the...

Hey guys! I'm really trying to strengthen my upper body build some muscle! Was wondering if anyone would mind taking a look at this rotation and letting me know what you think. Any feedback would be great! Monday: Cardio / legs ( I prefer barre training for my legs ) Tuesday: Muscle Max...

Hello! I'm just beginning a xtrain rotation and am SO excited! However, with my work schedule -- I only have time to workout for about 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the afternoon. I was wondering if it was effective to split Cathe's xtrain strength DVDs in half (for example: do...
