I'm getting ready to start week 3 tomorrow and have been doing STS mon, wed, fri and following in order of discs, 1,2,3... has anyone been putting the legs workout in the middle of the 2 upper body ones or keeping them in order?
Thanks

I'm not starting STS until May, but that's how I'll do it (I'm sure my shoulders will thank me for it!)
 
Yes, I actually do, for instance, disc 1 on Monday, disc 3 (legs) on Tuesday, disc 2 on Thursday, then I do disc 3 again on Friday. This way I get two leg workouts in the week. This is how I have always done my legs.

This actually gives me more than enoug time in between to rest my muscles!

I might do something like that as well, as I do like to work lower body more than once a week.
 
I am starting tomorrow and plan to do

M- CSb
T - Cardio
W - Legs
Th - Cardio
F - back & tris
Sat - plyo legs

I did plyo legs 1 this past saturday and really enjoyed it. Plan on alternating the plyo leg workouts each week. I thought I would be more sore but I don't feel much from the workout. As I was doing it, I was huffing and puffing.

Hi Christine,

I started week 3 yesterday, and my pattern has been to do the legs as the 2nd workout each week. My STS days are Saturday/Sunday/Wednesday, so doing legs on Sunday makes sense. Plus, I feel like I am working my chest/biceps/shoulders pretty hard, so the extra time between the next upper body work out is helpful.

It's a great series, isn't it?

I have done two weeks. My schedule has been: Monday - chest, shoulders, biceps, Wednesday - legs, and Friday - back and chest. My shoulders in particular need the longer rests in between.
