Blog UPDATE!

You will keep up, Tneah. We will help you keep right up (if you need it, which I doubt - it seems like it will be quite intuitive).

I'm like you, Tneah. I am computer challenged. I like things nice and easy. I hope it doesn't get too complicated. I didn't spend all that money to get frustrated. I know, I'm putting the cart before the horse. O.K., horse goes first! :p
 
Yeah, count me in with the challenged group. I think I won't be using this software much. Just give me the workouts already and let me get on with it, low tech style!!!!!!

Same here!;-)
 
This looks cool....I found Cathe right when the 1st presale for STS started and jumped right on the band wagon and I'm glad I did. Now I have to weave my way into some workout group because the motivation will be great especially with the new features, I just hope I can keep up with everyone!
 
OMG! I can hardly wait!

The idea is to die young as late as possible.
 
OH my gosh! I'm so excited!!! Looks like I'll need to quit my job so I have time to play on the new website and do STS. :+ :p

Totally awesome! Many thanks, Cathe and Crew!
 
That is a lot of information to take in! VERY exciting!

But I am wondering why they would think I want to compare myself to the "average Catheite" (which, BTW, is a phrase that is meaningless to me). I only need to compare myself to me and not worry about what everyone else is doing.

Does that make sense?

I agree Susan. No need to compare to everyone else. However, I see where it could be useful. Especially for those who are not sure how heavy to lift. I know the 1 rep max should help with this, but there will still be people who do not lift to their potential without motivation. And some are just motivated by seeing what others do. I hope this makes sense. Anyway, JMO.

I think it all looks great, but may be a bit overwhelming at first :D

The reason for comparing you 1RM result for an exercise or some other piece of data with a large group is that it helps you to identify strengths and weaknesses, identify problems, set realistic goals and let’s you know where you may need improvement.

You already probably do things, or have done things like measure your heart rate to see if you’re training in the proper heart rate zone. When you do this you’re statistically comparing your individual results to a large group people that researchers have applied the same statistical results as we’re doing. The same is also true when you go on a diet of “X” number of calories. We know from studying statistical calorie consumption averages of thousands of people what the number of calories an average person needs to consume daily.

Using statistics allows you to identify and set realistic benchmarks. We’re just using the same statistical principles to help people who work out to have information available to them that just might help or motivate them in their daily fitness routines. Though you certainly don’t have to use the stats, we personally feel it will help many people.
