Currentley working out STS2.0 12 week rotation, having still several weeks to go, while exepcting to receive LMR2-Elevated soon. Curiously, doing a Google search for "STS2.0 functional aspects", received the following answer from Gemini (Google AI):
"Cathe Friedrich's STS 2.0 (Strength and Tone Series) Muscle & Recovery program is a comprehensive, advanced home-fitness system designed to build strength, muscle mass, and endurance through heavy, compound, and varied resistance training. It heavily emphasizes the "functional" aspects of strength by utilizing varied angles, tempo techniques, and mobility work to improve daily life movement, posture, and joint health.
Functional Aspects of STS 2.0
Compound Movements: The program features multi-joint, heavy lifting, such as barbell hip thrusts, squats, deadlifts, and various presses, which mimic real-world functional strength needs.
Variable Techniques: To maximize muscle engagement, the workouts incorporate varying angles, levers, and speeds (eccentric, concentric) to prevent boredom and stimulate growth.
Targeted Muscle Fatigue: Through methods like giant sets (3+ exercises for the same muscle group back-to-back) and supersets (opposing muscle groups), the program ensures deep muscle fatigue and endurance.
Integrated Mobility & Recovery: Unlike traditional lifting programs, STS 2.0 integrates dedicated mobility workouts (Mobility 1 & 2) and foam rolling sessions to increase range of motion, reduce stiffness in hips/shoulders/spine, and enhance recovery.
Core-Focused Stability: The workouts often incorporate stability balls, such as in lower body finishers, to enhance core strength, balance, and stability.
Muscular Imbalance Correction: The training includes specific, single-side, or "unilateral" exercises to address imbalances between sides."
Well! This means that LMR2-Elevated, while greatly welcome, will be shelved until i'm done with STS2.0 challenges!
Gaining more muscles and strength to, then, making it more functional
!
Thanks Cathe!
