We want to keep everyone updated exactly where we’re with our progress of STS. Things are progressing at a rapid pace now and we expect to have all of the Meso #3’s DLT masters and Ab Circuits DLT masters sent to SONY by the end of this week. This means by Friday or at the latest Tuesday of next week SONY will have everything they need from us for all 41 DVDs and the only thing left to do is the replication and packaging of all the DVDs. In our last update we gave you a projected (as always this is only our best guess) release date of somewhere between 12-27-08 and 1-7-09. Nothing has happened as of today to make us change this target window, but we will see how the Holidays go and update you as we know more from SONY. Regardless we know we’re close now. Our next video clip will probably be from Ab Circuits and should be up by the end of this week.
Lastly, As we have already mentioned on our site our presale will end on December 30th at midnight so we can have plenty of time to prepare for shipping the presale orders. This will be the end of the presale and we will no longer take presale orders. If your address has changed since you preordered and you have not already contacted us please contact customer service at [email protected]. If you have not already ordered STS and want to take advantage of our presale prices please go to https://cathe.com/Presale_Launch_2007DVD.htm before midnight on December 30th.
Also, as long as you order the complete program STS will come with a Free 100 page user guide that will contain details about every workout and DVD in the series as well as how to properly do the entire STS program. The STS Users’ Guide will contain details about every exercise in every workout. Each workout will have a table showing in order each exercise along with a picture of the exercise as well as other details like reps, muscle group worked, equipment needed, workout length, etc. Other information in the STS Users’ Guide includes which exercises you need to do a 1RM test for. We even rank the importance of performing a 1RM test by giving each exercise a ranking of 1 through 5 stars and listing the equipment needed for the exercise.
In addition to the STS Users Guide we will be launching Beta 2.0 of the Workout Manager shortly which is a huge improvement over the current Bet1 1.0 site. The Workout Manager will help you in taking your 1RM test, scheduling STS workouts, selecting a cardio rotation to do along with STS, and printing workout cards for each STS workout. A lot more features and work is planned for the WM over the next six months, but we think you will enjoy the simplicity and features of the new site. We’ve killed all of the pop up windows and added Premixes to the Calendar. The 1RM will show your results on the same page as the calculator and will show pictures for every exercise you want to test for. We will eventually replace the pictures of the exercises as soon as time permits with actual video clips from STS and Cathe’s voice telling you how to perform the exercise correctly. This is most likely a project we will give to our interns when they start their next semester in late January.
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday!
