New to STS

[FitSaxe]

For me Meso 1 is my least favourite phase.

same here

I do own the Full 41 disc of STS collection because from the day I decided to add STS to my collection I knew I wanted to try both squat rack and plyo. I did both because I wanted to try both and I believe in cross training. I need to try and do various to keep myself moving and happy. I love plyo. Not just the feeling of explosif moves but also what it does aesthetically. The look result is temporary. The fluid retention is temporary. That is what people refer to as the "bulk"

Many here complained about the rest period during meso 3. I did not found it too long. What I do is select the adequat weight to earn the rest period. It is the same for meso 2, during plyo and those triset I do sweat and get winded throughout the workout. It is not a promenade/walk to the park. Today I did LMR2 bonus download for 10 reps. Yes I selected the adequat weight to earn the rest.

That said and reading various post here above, we are all differents. We all have different expectations embarking into programs. I think we all need to match programs to expectations. Aesthetics and fitness expectations. Each their own. IMHO, many women are struggling to make peace between aesthetic expectations and what they actually need for their own health.# just saying.

I'm almost through all my 1RM testing. Whew. I've got a lot that have yet to finish - mostly leg exercises - in part because I saw some comments from others who've done the series saying that their legs really bulked up in a way they didn't care for. So, I'm going to take legs a little less intensely. Partially, also, because I won't be doing the squat rack exercises in Meso 3.

As I've been prepping, I've been downloading the cards and inputting them into Numbers so I can track things while I work out (don't have a printer, so will need to enter data on my tablet).

I'm currently entering Meso 3 data and I've gotta say I'm a bit boggled seeing that I could potentially be doing 45lb chest flys by this stage at 85%. I mean... um... whaaaaattt?? Holy cow.

I understand my results may be different, too - just depends on what the rest of my progression looks like in Mesos 1 & 2.

Anyone else find themselves surprised when reviewing the weights they're ideally going to be using when they were checking their Meso 3 cards?

Hello,

Just a question. Have you purchased an ebook?
