Figure I'd drop back in as a follow up to having used LMR pretty thoroughly. I did the 8-week LMR-only rotation as listed in the user's guide, then after that I did the 8-week custom STS 2.0/LMR rotation that Cathe shared earlier this year. I'm starting in on a modified XTrain rotation now, and...

Coming back to this. I never got around to the STS 2/XTrain rotation, but I'm now doing a modified 12-week XTrain rotation (modified, meaning I'm swapping out some of the cardio and lower body days for other Cathe cardio and lower body workouts - the cardio and lower body work in XTrain is too...

I always appreciate hearing everyone's experience. Anymore, I have to take such "advice" from influencers as anecdotal evidence. Yes, it worked for THEM, and that's great. Does not mean it's going to work for everyone, however. (That's in regards to her experience with cardio) I agree, though...

Hi Braille - I'm sorry you've gone through some difficult times and I'm glad to hear you're feeling like you're in a place where you want to get back into a regular fitness routine. Have you had a check-up with your doctor at all? I'd suggest that first and foremost. Let them know about the...

On my last week of this rotation. I think this is a great transitional rotation if you're coming off a period of general inactivity (like me - I'd been pretty touch-and-go with my exercise the last several months before this rotation). It has enough challenging days mixed with recovery days to...

I don't count calories, weigh, or measure myself, etc., as I get too fixated on numbers. I have distorted thinking when it comes to body image, and I start to weigh my worth as a human being by such things. It's not emotionally healthy for me. My best tell if I'm slipping somehow is how my...

I've not seen anything about that. I suppose so long as you're lifting to failure (or close to it) within that range, and practicing progressive loading, it would be beneficial. I've come to learn over the years that a lot of these studies don't necessarily fit an entire demographic, meaning...

Just curious if you have an ETA on the heavy weight downloads for those who pre-ordered LMR2 Elevated? Thanks!

I'll have to experiment with this - I just tried it really quick with two 17.5 # SelectTech weights and the blue fabric loop - the weights kind of tilted inwards and it was a bit uncomfortable on the exterior of my hips. Maybe the blue loop didn't have enough give to it to allow the weights to...

I wish my tennis elbow would heal up. Compound moves with heavy weights have been such a bummer for me a lot of the time, especially if the move involves a bicep curl. Have to keep it pretty light.

Hmmm - I've not tried that. I have SelectTech weights which are even bulkier than what she's demoing so not sure if it would work (might be really clunky and unstable). But makes me wonder if I could potentially try one of the fabric bands (the heaviest one) with it. I usually just use one...

While I've not been around the sun as may times as you, nor have I been given the responsibility of cooking at a young age, I still am the only one responsible for cooking all my meals as an adult. I'm vegan, too, which is similar in ways to other healthy eating lifestyles, which is to say: If...

Sorry, can't say I've experienced that. I do have lower back issues and it can sometimes bother my back. I know you said you can't get a straight answer - does that mean you've been examined by a physical therapist or doctor? Hope you get some answers.

Crap - I hope I don't miss the download announcement. Hopefully they send that as a separate, non-newsletter email. Wondering when the first workout will be available now that you mention it. Already almost mid-April. Crazy how time flies.

I didn't realize you'd not done STS 2, Nathalie - I agree with Deb - you're going to love it!

I had to come back to this after getting back into some STS 2 body parts workouts following the LMR/STS 2 rotation Cathe shared a while ago. First time hitting BP Chest in quite some time, and it was as tough as ever. Because it's been a while, I dropped down to my original lightest marked...

I was hoping that the onslaught of daily emails was going to finally end after the pre-sale for LMR2 was finished. I'm still getting daily marketing emails and I'm just done. Anyone else feeling spammed? I've not seen an actual newsletter for quite some time, either - and that's why I'd first...

@nckfitheart2009 Is this your first time utilizing STS 2 in full? Cathe's 12-week rotation from her User Manual (see pg 20) delves into a pretty focused period of body part only workouts for several weeks. The 12-week rotation kind of ramps you up from full body workouts during weeks 1-3, to...

Oh man, my hamstrings are barking just looking at that. haha

If you want an all step experience, consider getting the Step Boss set, or, at the very least Step Sync and Imax 4 from Step Boss.
