STS 2 Idea From Blog Article

[KC5689]

I already posted this in comments to that article but am posting here in hopes that Cathe and/or her team will see.
Today's article, "Linear Versus Non-Linear Periodization: Which is More Effective?" was informative.
I like both variations of periodization and STS and XTrain happen to be my all time favorite series, with STS being #1. However, I tend to do more XTRAIN rotations because STS is a big endeavour. But, this has me thinking that you should do a STS 2 with 2 week mesocycles! Maybe keeping the times to 45 mins and using less equipment. I know making STS was a huge project but it, IMO, is a magnificent series. If you created another, I’m sure it would be a big hit.

As always I am in supporting such suggestion --- A pure weight lifting program.

Here is the link of previous discussions

Thanks KC5689 and thanks, Nathalie. I had never thought of STS 2 - but what a great idea! I would definitely go for that... in a heart beat! After reading Nathalie's links, I agree with those who suggested a shorter version (under 50 mins.) with the weekly cardio built-in (e.g. 2 hiit workouts and a steady state) - super convenient! And I really like Nathalie's idea of more weighted vest work within an STS2 program. I just started using a weighted vest and find it a great way to increase load safely. Most of us don't have squat racks or spotters at home and so this works well if done slowly and with gradual increase in weight load.

Cathe, STS 2 would be awesome!

This would be my dream program!
