    I'm also telling Lisa! Justine, are the new templates like the hunger templates? I may get the vegan ones when they come out. Meso 3 Week 3, not as evil as Meso 2 yet. Busy busy busy with family stuff, but sending high fives to my commando fam!

    Hi Commando friends! Using these two seconds to poop in and say hi. Still working out, Meso 3 Week 2 of the RP physique templates. Justine, Meso 3 is a nice change, most workouts clock in around an hour. I did one of my Meso 2 Week 4 workouts in a gym while visiting family and a trainer came up...

    Lib, sending best wishes for your son's speedy recovery. XOXO Justine, I have lost ~3 lbs each deload week. It's inflammation/glycogen/gainz.

    Justine, Meso 3 legs. I'm limping. Loving the pace of Meso 3, but lower body is particularly brutal. Adding in a bit of running just because I can with the stroller. Also, Lisa, I did the first 15 minutes or so of the kickbox Live that you tried the other day (and loved it!) but there was just...

    Audio-Only HiiT workouts?

    Awesome, thanks to you both for your replies! Jari Love has a free trial of her On Demand, so I'll see if I can check out the audio workouts in her On Demand service.

    Audio-Only HiiT workouts?

    Does anyone know of audio-only HiiT (bodyweight or super simple equipment) workouts? I want to have something I can do while playing with my kid without having the TV on. I know there's cardio coach, but I'm looking for something that's not on the treadmill, etc. TIA! Roz

    I think there's gotta be a market for C.I. (Commando Illustrated), no? :) Love it! Enjoying my deload. The RP templates weren't working with my life right now, so I've switched to tracking calories/macros on My Fitness Pal and it is sooooo much more enjoyable! :) Using a lot of the RP...

    Yeah, Justine's the pull-up stud of the group. I hit 7 the other day which was a PR for me. 10 is my best for chins. Justine, I'm doing band-assisted wide grip pull-ups in Meso 3. I think I'm going to stay with 6x week but do a ton of DB, bodyweight, and suspension trainer stuff. (The ST bit is...

    Those were sumo deads at 235, not squats! :eek: I have front squats and stiff-legged DLs on day 6 this meso. That's tomorrow. Today was upper body, easy compared to legs, but a zillion (= 39 including abs) sets. Haven't yet decided if/how to continue with Meso 3 re: days of the week. I just...

    Another M2 W4 leg workout done today. I think I have PTSD (physique template stress disorder). Two more workouts before deload. If I see another dumbbell, I'm gonna cry. Below are WORKING sets (i.e., I don't include warmup sets): Sumo deads 6 long sets 235# Low bar good mornings 6 long sets...

    Justine, week 4 Meso 2 I'm just trying to survive. Often is 1/mental failure or 1/hands falling off. Failure = Anything shy of perfect form so be a stickler and cut yourself a break (if one can use that term for a 2 hour torture session). Lib, I always gained when I quit. Keep your hands off the...

    Thanks, Lib. ;) Last night's leg trauma was two hours. Long sets: 6 of sumo squats, 5 of narrow-stance squats, 6 of high bar good mornings, 5 of BB hip thrusts, 7 of calves. This morning was upper body, almost the same length (45 sets including abs). Meso 2 Week 4 workouts are the longest...

    Ugggggh... OK, I just put my daughter to sleep and I'm dreading going down to do lower body today. But seeing that Lib is doing XTrain Legs uber-edition and Justine just knocked out some of the same moves I'm due for, I guess I should suck it up. Week 4 of Meso 2, volume is just brutal. Upper...

    Also, I'm awful at non-training days. I always fall off. I just need to eat for a light day. I can't do 60g carbs for the whole day. Call me a lightweight.

    Justine, just wait for week 3. ;) Hi everyone... life has taken over. Still lifting but looking forward to tomorrow rest day. Then Weds begins Meso 2 Week 4. I don't see how anything could go up from here... :eek: Hugs and high fives all around, Roz ETA: I would eat for moderate with that...

    I don't know... I guess just follow your muse, Justine. I'm sure you look fierce. It's totally a question of your goals, priorities, etc. And I don't mean that with any judgment. I may have cut too low last time then kinda rebounded because it wasn't sustainable, which was emotionally weird. But...
