How long of a break after finishing STS before starting the rotation again?

[Ivy]

I know there is an STS forum, I was going through the threads but they are quite lengthy and I could not find what I was looking for. How long should you take a break before starting the rotation again? Also, there seemed to be some questions regarding Meso Cycle 3 with the legs, were there some particular issues involving the legs?

Thanks ahead of time for any responses.

I think it's just a week. You take a week off between each mesocycle, so I think it's also a week between the third and first cycles as well if you are starting over. I've done STS three times, but not back to back. I did other rotations in between; however, I don't see any reason why you couldn't do it back to back. I know of fitness models and bodybuilders that do just that.

I haven't heard of any issues with the legs in M3...maybe you are thinking of the use of the squat rack DVD instead of the plyo leg routine? There are two different leg workouts in M3 to choose from depending on what equipment you have. You can also use the weighted vest and barbell in the squat rack DVD.

You only need to wait a week to start over again. Or wait a week and then do another rotation of your choice for a month before resuming STS. No matter how you slice it, it's all good
