The Elevated - STS 2.0 Rotation: Question?!

[Nabbe47]

@cathe! Thanks for including the two Elevated – STS 2.0 and Pre-sale Bonus workouts rotations. Glad for them and believe that both will be my favourites working out the Elevated series!

Just a question, out of curiosity: why are you not following the phasing of STS 2.0 in the Elevated rotation: three successive weeks for the total body workouts followed by two for the Lower/Upper body workouts and the last three weeks with the body parts workouts?

Curious to learn if there is a reason for skipping that order? Thanks again!

Not Cathe, but she does have some shorter rotations in the STS 2 user's guide, which I think she modified for the LMRE user's guide. Those shorter STS 2-only rotations also follow a similar cadence with briefer periods spent in total body, upper/lower body, and then parts.

As to why she didn't choose to specifically create a 12-week rotation with LMRE and STS 2? Definitely have to wait and see if they answer that for you.

In the meantime, you may try to get creative and create your own 12-week rotation from comparing what's in the STS 2 user's guide with what she did in the LMRE user's guide and just extend everything out.

I do that all the time - reference some of my favorite user's guide rotations and then modify them to accomplish specific goals or to accommodate certain workouts.

create a 12-week rotation with LMRE and STS 2

No! Not asking for a 12 week rotation! Only curious to learn why she didn't order the STS 2.0 lifting workouts according to the phases in the original one?. So, for example, STS 2.0 lower/upper body workouts would have been in week 4 instead of week 2, to keep the order of STS 2.0 phases?
The anticipated answer may add to my knowledge in the creativity of making own rotations!

Not Cathe but I shall agree with Kelly. A rotation is made according to a specific goal pursued during a month or a week. Cathe makes strength, endurance cardio, endurance high reps or mix of all rotations. Truly each their own rotation to meet the goal pursued.

interesting question which only Cathe can answer as she created it

That is it! Just a question out of curiosity! Know, without any doubt, that Cathe is more than professional, but it looks like curiosity is going to kill the cat!!!
Do, however, appreciate your thoughful remarks and thanks for the ACEFitness link as a source of further learning.

More than aware! She is marvelous, but no way for me to match her lifting weights!
