whats the best rotation or workouts that can almost guarantee I'll gain strength and be lifting heavier dumbbells at the end of the month/rotation? With the STS rotation it says you should be lifting heavier at certain weeks, can I mimic that with other workouts? I have almost all of Cathe except Pure Strength and Meso 2, 3.

- Start date
advice anyone? Fitnessfreak? anyone? It sucks to not see any type of results from a workout routine, not losing weight, seeing muscle or even getting stronger. Atleast if I was getting stonger I'd feel better what I was doing was doing something. Not progressing seems like whats the point and I should just quit?

I am by no means an expert, but what about the slow and heavy series and/or pyramid series? Then when you want to do lighter, try the circuit workouts like Low Impact Circuit or Body Max 2. Before STS, I would do 2 days of heavier workouts and one day that was a little lighter (more recovery/toning) each week.

Gym Style hands down. Just increase the weights each week and your strength will grow.
Reposting Cathe's most recent strength rotation
Redbull,
Here is a very recent strength-building rotation posted by Cathe:

I am experimenting with different strength rotations, since builiding strength is a priority for me. Also, I appreciate Fitnessfreak's (Debbie's) comments about increasing poundage (also her coments to keep at it!). I plan on doing more of Cathe's two pyramid videos this summer.
Good luck on your fitness plans.

p.s. I am new to this "Video & Rotations" forum, and I find that there is a lot to learn from it!

Redbull, do you have platemates or paceweights? That's what helped me get stronger when I couldn't go up by 5 pound increments. You'll be surprised! One pound does make a difference. Pretty soon, you'll be able to go five pounds heavier! Good luck and let us know how you do.
Also, keep reading posts by fitnessfreak. She just motivates you to go heavier!!!
