STS 1RM test video

[boling11]

I still haven't done the 1RM test for the STS program. I would really like it if I could use a video to do it.

OH! I love this idea!

I agree. Excellent idea!

Oh Darn, I just thought of this this morning, and what- I come here and someone else already suggested it!
Oh well. I think it would be a great addition to the whole STS series - an additional DVD with only the 1RM testing. It could be grouped in different sessions, shown by Cathe, or by a model and Cathe giving instructions and form pointers. I am still confused about some of the exercises and I know some people skipped the testing altogether. But if there are exact directions which to follow strictly, then probably everyone would do it and benefit from the program much more. I would be willing to pay for a DVD like that.

GREAT idea!!!

Agreed. Excellent idea! I would do it - and she could group them into manageable segments. So you could do one segment each day or whatever. She knows the exercises so much better than we do and would create a balanced upper and lower body plan to get them completed without killing ourselves! Combined with form pointers - it is a great addition to the STS series.

I admit I did not do all of my 1rms because I didn't want to look at all the DVDs to find the various exercises. But I would have done them with this type of DVD. I would buy it now to be honest. . . .

I mentioned a while back (but not here) that I would love a DVD set of workouts (however many made sense), that went through 1RM testing. So obviously this gets my vote. I'd love to see the STS "prequel" if you will.

 

[pgun]

I vote for it.

Great idea!

Even though I've already done my 1rms, I'll need to re-do them when I repeat STS program. Plus, I never did 1rms for lower body (shhhh - don't tell).

I NEVER want to do them again, but this'd make it much easier & fun todo.

A fantastic idea!

I would LOVE some "help" with my 1rm testing. A guided lesson from a professional would be great! I went about mine the wrong way and had to change all of my weights which frustrated me and had me contantly second guessing myself. I would feel much more confidant with some help.

I have to say I wish that a 1r dvd or a print out sheet with how to create a proper workout doing them had existed. I did my 1r tests incorrectly and really hurt myself. I never got hurt doing Cathe's workouts. Ever. Her guidance is top notch. 1r testing was not easy for me and now I'm paying dearly for doing them incorrectly.
