Starting STS Today

[LastTango]

I am doing disc 8 today. I am doing my pushups on the back of my couch, in the hopes that I will build some endurance in my upper body. I really would like to be able to do at least 10 push-ups on my toes by the time I finish STS.

I am doing pretty well with increasing the weight each week, but I find that on certain exercises, my triceps just cannot take it. My form suffers badly if I go to heavy on those exercises. Again, I'm hoping the endurance will build up so I can go heavier.

It might take two rounds of STS to get the results I'd like, but that's ok.

If you are thinking you want to do two rounds anyway, have you considered doing the 6 1/2 month rotation? You repeat each week so it would give you more time to build up your endurance since you increase your weight load more slowly than in the 3 1/2 month rotation.

I didn't realize that. I may do a 6 month rotation next time around, and just do what I can do this time. I'll still be building endurance, and that's good.
