Hello,

I haven't even started STS but which routine should I do (Plyo Legs or Squat Rack) if my main goal is to trim my thighs and backside?

thanks! :)
 
Plyo, I'd think. It's more endurance, where Squat Rack is all about the strength. When I do Meso 3, I do both. Plyo on one day and Squat Rack on another - just because I love leg workouts and plyo exercises are fantastic for runners.
 
just started meso 2 last night, but I plan to rotate them out. one week, squat rack then the next is plyo. I bought the weighted vest so I want to use it.
 
I also do both, in part because I have a leverage machine that allows me to do unassisted heavy squatting, and its perfect for STS. I also find lifting easier then jumping, but that is my preference. I didn't get huge thighs, or bulk out, instead they were cut and defined which is what I want. The Plyo is tough stuff though!

LOL - this reminds me of the first time I did Plyo Legs. My dog thought my jumping was a signal that it was time for play and he knocked me off my step. That's when I decided I needed to convert my extra room into a workout room where I could close him out. I seriously love the Squat Rack routine. There's nothing quite like lifting really heavy - it feels so good. Can't wait to get to Meso 3 again!
 
JT - Congratulations on lifting heavier...I can't wait to get there (I'll be starting my 4th week of Meso 1 on Saturday. I'm loving the program so far.

MidgetDogg and Dirtdiva - Thanks for the advice. I think I will alternate as well since I also bought the weighted vest and also like lifting heavy.

Only finished 3 weeks but doing this program has made me realize I want to be as strong as I can be and my body is shaped the way it is shaped and I love it.
 
Just finished cycle 2, I plan to alternate the plyo and squat rack. I plan to use the weighted vest for other workouts. My weightload increased 20% again.
 
which vest?

I'll be starting Meso 3 next week. I was thinking of ordering the vest but wondered if I needed the 12-20 lb. or if I could get by with the 10 lb. After reading your posts I'm thinking of alternating between the two leg workouts also.

Thanks!
