Wow! That's a lot of blending. :) I have 66 blended workouts in total and 14 of those are from STS 2.0. Mostly it is to shorten the length of the workout by eliminating some exercises but sometimes it is just adding an extra break. Like between the chair and mat yoga I added a 15s break to...

I've finally finished my body parts mixes that I made in the workout blender. This was taking the 2 body parts premixes idea but shortening the workouts to fit my schedule. During the week I'm often only able to do 45min max. It took me longer than expected to get through these workouts due...

Thanks for sharing. Your rotation is kind of what I was thinking, using the Hypertrophy phase of STS 1.0 along with STS 2.0.

Wow! I didn't even notice the set change. :)

Many of the top athletes have incorporated more stretching, flexibility, and mobility into their training regimens. As sports science has evolved it is recognized that to maintain peak performance, and reduce the risk of injuries, you can't just go hard out all the time and flexibility and...

I think STS 2.0 lifting exercises are closer to STS 1.0 Phase 2 Hypertrophy. STS 2.0 tends to use between 8-12 reps for most exercises. The lifting exercises in STS 2.0 also seem to be comparable to the lifting exercises in X-Train. STS 1.0 is different in that it splits the workouts into 2...

Also check out Cathe's coupons as I think she has a coupon for 20% off when you spend $20 or more on downloads. Cathe usually does a really good Black Friday deal in November too. I started off purchasing Live downloads before I got decent internet and switched to streaming.

Nice suggestions Fitdeb and Debinmi! I haven't done slide n glide in a long time. Would love a cardio barre workout. Something cardio using the mini ball would be good too.

Happy Birthday!! Shoulders are still my least favorite area, particularly overhead presses. I've been doing combination body parts based on the premixes but using the workout manager to shorten them to fit into my workout time. I've made up 2 workouts for each body part combination, so...

Attention Forum Admin. I have just discovered that the User Guide is missing the chapter for Kneeling Double Arm Sweeper Curls. This should be after Kneeling Alternating Sweeper Curls and before Hammer Curls.

Congratulations Lannette! I haven't done Muscle Max in a long time.

Yes, those are the ones. I have the WAGS Ultra as these were the only ones I could get in New Zealand, but there are different types. I only use them for Yoga. I have tried using them on my Pilates reformer when doing planks but because of the pads I can't grip the foot bar properly and it...

Sorry, got the name wrong, they are Wrist Assured Gloves, or WAGS.

No, I've never come across these before. They don't look very stable. I have Wrist Assisted Gloves that I use sometimes for yoga. They have a pad in the heel of the palm that raises it a bit and puts your wrist in a less flexed position.

Yes, I've definitely seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. The ugly is scary!:eek:

I can only go up to 12s with concentration curls. I find I reach failure very suddenly with concentration curls. Whereas other exercises there is a buildup to failure, with these I'm going OK for several reps and then I suddenly can't complete the next rep. It's the only exercise where I...

Exactly. I was an industrial chemist working in factory laboratories doing quality control testing and developing new products. After 8 years of lab work, I started getting sensitized to the chemicals and had to stop working with them and change my career. I moved into a health and safety...

Overhead triceps extension with a band feels awkward to me too. I always substitute dumbbells. Did my back and biceps workout yesterday and went to my normal one arm row weight for the gorilla rows which was about the right weight. Also used my weight-lifting hooks for pull ups and the...

I totally get that. I kind of fell into my current career as a hazardous substances' consultant. It has allowed me to be self-employed but I'm not passionate about it.

I think that would be a worthwhile investment. I found there was a bit of a learning curve to get myself in the right position and do the move properly but once I figured it out, I was able to increase my weight. I started with around 38lbs on my barbell but last time I did about 45lbs and...
