Hi Cathe,
I am going to make a suggestion based off of STS Total Body. But before I make a suggestion for a new workout, I have to sing the praises of STS TB first. I just finished the compound premix on this workout for the first time, and I have to say...it is AMAZING!! This is exactly what I have been looking for! I found this total body heavy weight workout to be efficient. There is not one wasted second of this workout. I felt as if ALL moves were working multiple muscles at once, which increased the intensity and gave me more bang for my buck! Before starting the premix, I thought it would be a remix of the same moves in the original workout; I can't tell you how pleasantly surprised I was when the chest/tricep and back work was completely different! And when I saw were going to be doing pull-ups--I was ecstatic. Talk about total body!!! This is definitely going to become something I reach for over and over. I loved the original...and now it has just been elevated to all time favorite!!
That being said, I bet you can guess what my suggestion is for upcoming workouts....more compound total body heavy weights PLEASE!
I want to maximize my time and MUSCLE/STRENGTH GAINS. I am thinking more power deadlifts, pull ups, squat presses, push ups, upright rows, dead rows, throw in some clean and presses, heavy dumbbell swings, pull up bars for hanging knees raises, mix in some burpees and mountain climbers for good measure and whatever you can think of to meet a goal of building muscle while getting an intense total body workout. I am thinking a three or four day split that will focus on heavy weights to build muscle, working in a superset/triset fashion to decrease rest periods, with little to no isolation moves. Another video that would be a good reference is cardio leg blast from xtrain where you mixed heavy weight work with cardio blasts--love this workout too!
Wrap all this up in a few workouts that are super intense and quick--under 45 min start to finish and I would be in heaven!! I need quick and efficient workouts; with a three year old, 6 month old, and full time job, I don't have ANY more than 45 min per day.
Cathe, I think you are the best there is! I recommend you to everyone I know and have been working out with you exclusively for about 8 or 9 years. I am so hoping for series along these lines!
Thanks for reading...you rock!
