You can't go wrong with Cathe I would say that STS is not repetitive at. It has been my experience that I have found the trainers I have had to be ineffective. I have worked with 5 different ones in recent years and I have fired each one. I am sure there are some good trainers out there, but I...

Happy B-day!!!

I am starting over again next week. I am retesting soe of my exercises this week. I am going to try an undulating schedule (there was a post about that here somewhere) for the third go around. Then for the 4th, I may do a 6th month rotation or further mix things up. Isn't it great to have all...

in 2 weeks Hi, I am sorry to hear about your injury - I hope you are ok! I am going to start all over again in about 2 weeks. I decided to retest some of the exercises. That will take about a week and then I get to start again! Good luck with everything!

Hi all, After 6 months od frustration and many doctor's visits, I am finally being treated for my hairloss issue. The endocrinologist has started me on aldactone. I have been on it 2 days and so far so good. The medicine makes me a bit nauseous, but I was told this will pass within a couple...

Hi Debbie Hi Debbie, I hope this message reaches you! I have to be honest and say that part of my success with legs is genetic - both my parents are very muscular and so I have a tendency to put on muscle. Actually tendency is an understatement. It is ironic though because I always had...

Posting a bit early...very long, but I am excited here. Hello, I have one more disc to do (either today or tomorrow) but I wanted to post here because I could see a change about 2 weeks ago. I did not take measurements nor did I step on the scale - I don't own a scale, but I am wishing I...

Hello, I am sure this has been asked a dozen times, but I have not been on here too consistently in a while. I tried to run a search on this, but for some reason the search function is not working right for me. If you are going to repeat the STS again for another 3 -6 months or so, what...

Plio legs option Hello! Great workout - this was AWESOME!!! This is the type of workout that really gets me. I know I can do squat rack legs with no problem so I took this option. thanks for giving us the two choices. My from issue is not with strength so much as it is with stamina and this...

Did thid on Monday Wow - this is a great workout! I love lifting heavy so this suited me just fine. I am so happy I can bench 85 and deadlift 106. Ah - I just realized that the weighted gloves were only a pound each after reading some other posts! I know it said so on the box, but I had...

Yay for completing meso 2 What a great cycle! I was sad to see meso 1 go and I am sure I will miss meso 2 once we get going with #3 tomorrow. This was a great workout month. I am so proud to have pushed myself past the comfort zone. I am amazed at how much weight I can lift. I broke through to...

Wow - some of these were a bit on the light side. My legs are totally responding to these triple trisets. I love them!! My legs are looking fierce too (even if ever so slightly!). Boy oh boy - those low plane lunges. First set - shocker. Second set - better. Third set -0 OUCH! Haha - great...

YAY I got my weighted gloves!!! WOW, what a difference those gloves make. Now, I am at the exact correct weight and it really matters. I was improvising before by going up and down by 5 lbs here and there. My gym has a set of 12.5, 17.5, and 22.5 dumbbells, which helped, but did not solve for...

Still up at my parents and using the old gym I am certainly getting my workout in creativity too! They did not have a pull up bar so I used the smith machine bar and did the pull ups in the lay down form. Wow - that was HARD. I think that might have been harder than when I do them the...

I LOVE TRISETS!!! I actually call them triple trisets haha - we do a combo of 3 exercises 3 times!!! I was up taking care of my dog at my parents while they were away this week. I worked out at the old gym near them. It is a shame - that used to be my favorite gym in high school. They...

WOW! Double wave loading...that is new to me! That was a huge challenge. I was totally fried afterward! Great work out! I had to assist my arm in cross body kickbacks - I wonder if that defeats the purpose. Hmm...I can't help it. My arm is done and the assist is just to squeeze out the last...

First one post injury The one legged deadlifts were a great way to ease back into STS after my brief injury the other day. I love back off sets - seriously. They are so much fun. I love it when my muscles feel like they are going to be able to go forever and then BAM fatigue hits and the...

INJURED!!! Yikes!!! I hurt myself during this workout. The workout was very effective since I was very fatigue towards the end. Unfortunately, I lost my concentration and therefore my form on the 1st triset during my third rep of deadlifts. I went down and came up all wrong and POP!!! I...

Finally posting! I am going to catch up on my check ins from this point forward. I had to reduce the weight on chest work again. I am still wondering how I possible did those 1 RMs?!?!? Anyway - I totally dug those back off sets. What a great way to trick my muscles into working hard! The...

Running I am not sure where this falls within the day numbers so I will add it here. I ran 5 miles on Friday - interval style and steady run as well. It was great!!! I was going to do Yoga abs, but I had to get up to my parents to help prep for the yard sale they had on Sat. i took Sat off...
