Leaner Legs, I almost died LOL

[rhbrand]

Yes, it's been YEARS since I last did Leaner Legs. But I dug it out of mothballs to do it.
Now I remember back in the day, when I was in good shape, before I let myself go, I could match or almost match Cathe's weights for Leaner Legs.

Well, no more. OMG I about died. Only used a portion of the weights, and only did about 3/4 of the moves. I had to skip one round of step ups, and during the static lunges I quit early cause I literally couldn't do more.

But I did my best, and maybe next time, which won't be years from now, I'll do more of it, or bump up the weights I use.

I just got this one not too long ago! Thanks for the warning

Yes you can!" (I think that's a quote from Cathe in that workout).

I think that’s a quote from her in ALOT of workouts!!!!!

I didn't recognize it by Leaner...it's always been Meaner Legs

That just reminds me that I need to do a week of CTX in its entirety. It was a year ago next month that I attempted it and only did Meaner Legs and then things got derailed and I never went back to it because a week later I started my Tank Top Arms rotation. Which I did for about 3 months until STS 2.0 arrived. Then Summer 2023 was officially declared Hot Girl STS 2.0 Summer!

Yep! That’s when I had to get the ac in my car fixed, thank God I did because last summer was hotter than any I remember. All but 2 days in august were at least 100 degrees but got as hot as 109.

And for this summer im not totally sure. Maybe it’s I hope I find work, get my life back together, and still stay fit summer!!!!

Meaner Legs will forever be an epic challenge! Good for you @rhbrand for giving it a go and doing what you can!

Sounds like a plan!!!

I *recently* (about six months ago) purchased the CTX collection but I’ve only done the All Step workout so far. Is this an official challenge? (Mischievous face) Because I wouldn’t say no to joining a CTX Official Challenge for a week. (Wink)

If someone can program a week and post it, we could all do it together and then complain — er, report — about it as we go… Just a thought.

I have a screenshot of the suggested order the CTX workouts should be done in:

Back/Leg Circuit
Chest
Legs
Shoulders
Biceps
Triceps

I might be up for a CTX week challenge. I could *try* the step, but I haven't done step in ages so not sure how that would play out!

I have CTX but I have to admit I don't understand the list.
For example, is the first workout meaning to do the Power circuit workout? I just noticed it has a short back chapter.

Then what....you do only the listed chapters of those specific body parts on the remaining workouts?

Honestly I don’t have a clue because I took a screen shot of this last year from somewhere in the forum and never did the rotation

I tend to do the UB premix and Meaner Legs as an UB/LB split. The UB premix is a little long & you have to add your own warm-up/cooldown.

This is the way I have used it with the kickbox on a separate day.
I feel like it hits everything pretty well.

I'm not sure I have ever done the step workouts

Ok I'm writing both down and putting in my DVD case because I can see adding these chapters to another workout for a parts week.
Thanks to you both!

What a great idea! Xtrain has "parts" too as does ICE Meltdowns & LITE Pyramid Pump - they could be combined in different ways for a parts week similar to STS2.0. Hmmm ... gotta think about that ...

Exactly!!
