Starting STS tomorrow..Any tips? :)

[princessbear]

I am going to be starting STS on Monday. I am really excited. I have completed my 1RM's and have my workout cards ready to roll for next week. I'm a little nervous but more excited! I would also love any tips or suggestions anyone may have. I will be using SelecTech weights for the program and tubing (in doorway) for the pull-ups/pull-downs instead of the bar. Anyone else out there doing that too?

Would love to have a buddy to share in the journey!

I use the SelecTech dumbbells and tubing - sometimes the switching of weights in Meso 2 slowe me down with the drop sets, etc., but otherwise, I love my SelecTech DB ... am patiently awaiting the Tower so I can do pullups on it and use it for a barbell rack in Mesos 2 and 3 - I completed M1 and M2 and am not going to jump to 3 until the Tower is in, so am starting back with M1 on Monday. I haven't heard ONE person say they DON'T love STS ... how cool is that?

Mary, what are SelecTech dumbbells?

They are made by Bowflex and they are like "dial a weight" ... instead of have multiple dumbbells, they are two dumbbells and you turn the dial at the end and select your weight (in my case, from 5 - 52 lbs). They are bulkier than regular dumbbells, but they save space. I love mine.
