    Question regarding deadlift "imbalance"?

    I've never done STS or STS2, because I'm not good at following a long-term designated workout routine, but I do own them. Except for the ab work, I haven't gotten into them and am not that familiar with them, so thank you for letting me know about the postural band work and where to find it on...

    Question regarding deadlift "imbalance"?

    I do not have a spin bike, but the video on Y's and T's with bands is helpful. I currently do rowing with bands as part of maintaining my back and Y, W, T position in a doorway (more of a stretch) as well as other exercises the P.T. gave me. Adding a few Ys and Ts with the band to the end of...

    I am laughing so hard!!! lol "begrudgingly is the perfect description of my attitude towards those type of workouts. lol Cathe's quality, quantity, and variety of workouts amazes me! Lower body isn't something I look forward to, but I can usually get mentally "into it" once I start, if it's...

    Question regarding deadlift "imbalance"?

    Thank you. It sounds like you're doing great, and that motivates me. :-) I do have 2 mirrors in my workout room, but they are not very big (lack of wall space, so I have to scooch into position to use them. I do it, though, because it assures me that I'm using good form. It's too easy to develop...

    Question regarding deadlift "imbalance"?

    Fit Saxe, yes... that's the way I do them with my current weight. My shoulders aren't strong enough to stay back if I lift heavier. So, I have been doing the exercise with 10 lb. dumbbells. (started out with 8 lb), because my shoulders will roll forward and I won't use improper form. I was only...

    Question regarding deadlift "imbalance"?

    I was afraid of that! lol Seated band rows are what I do for my at-home therapy when I get tired of doing the rows with the band looped over a doorknob in a closed door. It's part of my at-home physical therapy that I'm supposed to do for the rest of my life. It might be time to increase the...

    Question regarding deadlift "imbalance"?

    FixSaxe, I already know what's wrong with my back, neck, and shoulders - pretty much everything according to the experts. lol It's not "fixable" as it's degenerative. Damage has been sped up in those areas due to injuries suffered in a bad marriage. I've stayed away from the barbell for...

    She used to sell a 4# medicine ball with a removable kettlebell handle (purple and black). I'd always hoped she'd use use it in a video with the handle on. I have thought about trying to sub the kettlebell in for a dumbbell, but with it only being 4#, I didn't think I'd get as good of a workout...

    Question regarding deadlift "imbalance"?

    I'm running into an issue doing deadlifts. I'm hoping that someone who's also had this challenge has discovered a way to overcome it. Not sure if I can explain it well, but I have had a bad upper back, neck, and shoulders for years - doctors, specialists, chiropractors, physical therapy... been...

    I love cardio, but I don't enjoy it WITH my strength training. I am currently having trouble with lower body workouts due to the cardio effect they have on me, but even before... when that wasn't an issue... I've always preferred to really focus on strength by itself. I get a sense of...

    That's my guess as well as what I'm hoping for. Cathe has a few lower body only workouts, so I'd love an upper that I could pair with them or use with the lower body #2 that she just released. #1 was metabolic, so a total body that doesn't have as much emphasis on cardio would be nice. I can...

    Ignore this post - I can't figure out how to delete it. lol

    I assume most of you get the e-mail updates, but when I saw that it wasn't posted here yet... thought I'd let anybody that didn't receive the e-mail know that LMR2 is available on demand. I do the download thing, but for those that are interested... it's available the other way as well. She...

    Download Instructions For Your 2nd Free Cathe LMR2 Bonus Workout

    I haven't done the step-ups with a barbell yet, because I haven't been back to workout out for long enough to be that advanced. Back when I was, though, I used a curl bar (instead of barbell). Somehow... it's shorter length seemed more balanced and less intimidating to me when I stepped up...

    Work each body part twice a week

    I did a workout a few weeks ago that used mostly drop sets. I'm thinking it was Perfect Pump?

    For #3, the first bonus download was chaptered, so I'm assuming that they all will be. I'd love modifiers! Suggestions for modifications ("easier" or more challenging) are always welcome, but I somehow feel lonely when I do them by myself. lol It's more motivating for me to do the more...

    Ok, after my really lengthy last post... (lol), I'd just like to 2nd that it would be nice to have a list of equipment for LMR2 or a verification that no new equipment will be needed. So... if Cathe or staff is reading this... could you let us know? Thank you! :-)

    Curious about other people's experience/preference regarding shoes for strength training

    I struggled with P.F. for quite some time, but I found some stretches that helped - I continue to do them for prevention. I also found that wearing Crocs (they have the arch support I need, because I have high arches) in the house for a couple of months helped. I hope yours gets better, because...
