Yes, thank you so much for doing this. It really helps to glance quickly and get started! Kris

New to this forum. But just wanted to say that I now can do chinups. I could not do even one when I started STS. I also do pullups. Again, I could not do a one and now I can do about 12. Very proud of myself. I did do disc #3-legs-ooouuuuccchhhh!!!! Did not, though, have as bad of DOMS as...

Couldn't find the Altus-I really wanted this type(w/the hooks) but ended up with another kind-a metal hook that wraps around the bar. I had to get used to the hook-it's probably about 1-1/2" wide and at first it seemed to get in the way, but after a few lifts, it was OK. I could not have...

I am going to start this rotation after I get the tower. I needed a spotter for most of the last chest cycle, though my husband was willing, I hated to ask him:(. So, I will just wait for the tower. I am also interested in how everyone is doing with this rotation-should be fun:D!! Kris

Hi Cathe and all of you STSers, I am going to do Chris' STS undulating rotation when I finish my rest week and was wondering if I should redo my 1rm:confused:? Actually, if I just restart STS again, should I redo all of my 1rm? I know I am much stronger than when I started, so it kind of...

Need a beginner rotation for a friend and -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- was wondering if anyone knew of a beginner rotation using weights? I am helping a friend (who has cancer) try to gain some strength and endurance. She had worked out...

was wondering if anyone knew of a beginner rotation using weights? I am helping a friend (who has cancer) try to gain some strength and endurance. She had worked out in the past, but going through chemo has put a little crimp in her workouts. I am going to start her out with about 1-2 lb hand...

Hi Shanihib-I, too, had to increase my weights-which meant I had to adjust all the wts for all of the workout cards I had already printed. I wonder why these wts felt light? Are we stronger than we thought??:) I don't know if I will have doms or not. I only had them last cycle after doing...

I will probably do Imax 2 today as well. I cannot wait for Sunday-when I will start STS again. I really miss weightlifting. I have seen pretty good results so far, and have realized in order to get the most benefits of this program, I must incorporate cardio into my routine. These old bones...

Thanks for all of your input. It really helped me. I ordered the ISSA program and it came yesterday. I am really excited!! Thanks again-Kris

Hi Cathe and all of you STS'ers, Just wanted to say I love this whole series. I did #12 today and thought it was great!! The only problem I had, was with the paper plates. I was sweating so much the paper plates got stuck on the pools of sweat I was leaving on the floor!! That just made...

need help deciding what online course to enroll in. Do any of you out there have any suggestions on how to become a fitness trainer, or the best course of action to becoming one? I am 56 (57 in a couple of weeks) and have been working out for 28+ years. I am doing STS with Cathe right now, and...

If you have the STS workout guide, page 104 is where you will find all of the exercises and their star value. I printed mine out way before I received STS, and had to guess at the disc number, but I noticed in the guide they have already put in the disc number,so this is much easier and a lot...

I, too have gained weight and am very hungry-all of the time:( I hope it's just my body getting used to the STS system. If not, maybe it's that I'm adding more muscle:eek: Kris

I copied and pasted to an Excel spreadsheet and then adjusted all of the column heights, widths and font size. I then saved a copy with just the headings and when I go to print out my workout card, I copy and paste to that worksheet. I have to do a little more work, but at least I am not...
