I'm close to finishing STS for the 1st time. I would like to repeat it again, using the 6 month rotation. How long do I have to wait before repeating STS again?

I think Cathe says on the last workout of Meso 3 that you should take a recovery week, then either start STS again or another rotation. I was planning on doing 2-3 weeks of the Pyramids and circuits until I could adjust and/or recalculate my 1RMs. But....I am too antsy to wait that long!! I managed to cram everything in during the 1 week after my recovery and am ready to start a 6-month STS rotation on Monday!

i was also wondering, as i am doing 4-day split, do ya'll think that while we are waiting to start STS again we should do total bady weights, rather than one body part a day? i was just wondering, ya know, about muscle confusion and all that. so, give me ya'lls opnion.
thanks, cathy

That's my strategy. STS worked so well for me, but I want to make sure it keeps working. So after completing the 3-month STS, I am now in the last week of Cathe's Dec 08 rotation -- shorter workouts, circuits and total body weight work. For me, it's like a recovery month (although some of the WO's are hard). I am finding it nice to be done with a workout in less than an hour and not feel constant DOMS. But now, in the last week, I am getting pumped for a 6-month round of STS. My muscles feel ready, and now my brain is coming along too!

Hi Julscarver! At least one full week of no weight training to totally recover. After that you could start right up again, but I personally would probably do an additional week, maybe even two, of completely different workouts to recharge your battery so that when you embark on a 6 month rotation you are 100 percent focused with mind and body.
Good Luck!
Good Luck!
