Haha! Shani, that is funny. The static lunges and especially the one leg elevated lunges are the exercises that destroy my legs completely. I have no idea why, but the plate work was easier for me this time. I only used 5 lbs for the side slides and I used 30 (2X 15 lbs) for the slide...

OMG!!! I did not look ahead - these were insane!!! Yes, my heart rate shot up too!!! Wow - I think we are all going to have killer legs when we are done!

JMHO Hi, Ugh - I am sorry to hear that. I hope you are ok. What a bummer!! This is just what I would do. After the 2 weeks recovery period, I would do week 2 of meso 2 and go from there. I would still rest after the 4th week before starting the 3rd meso. I think you will need it.

This is just me... I am not sure if this is how anyone else but me "should" feel, but I absolutely cannot do another rep when I finished a set in disc 13. Now, during disc 14, I was able to move to the next exercise of the tri set, but I was wiped out after completing a tri set. I am...

LOVE IT!!!! I love this workout. I have never worked this hard before. My own periodization programs were simply inadequate compared to this. I am fighting some pretty bad hormone issues right now and I am STILL seeing results. I think once my hormones are fixed I will see even better results...

Wow (again) This workout was no joke. I did not take extended breaks during the repeated 3 sets of tri sets. Would that be a tri set of tri sets or perhaps a mega tri set round? ;) Anyway, after I got done each round of tri sets I took a bit of an extended break for equipment exchange. I...

ITA with this: I decreased the amount of food I was eating - I was totaly over eating before even if it wasn't junk. Now I pay attention to how much and what goes in my mouth. I agree with the cardio as well. I do this weightlifting every other day as prescribed and then I add cardio on...

Thanks! Thanks everyone! And thanks for clearing up that RT brunch question. I had seen something floating around about going that Sunday, but that definitely makes sense to go after the RT is over. I will keep my eyes open.

Just the basics When I got laid off in February, I gave up an awesome apartment and cancelled brand new furniture and moved into my parents' house. That was a very low point for me. the good news is that I just got a new job yay! I have given up my extravagances. I have no children or a...

Hello all!!! I have some good news and bad news. The good news is that after being laid off for 2 months - I GOT A JOB!!!! YAY!!!!! :D And it is a job I really wanted too. In fact, I think it is going to be better than my old job. Everything about it is great. I start next Monday...

I love that sham wow guy! Sorry I don't have the slap chop - no review to offer! I hope it works for you though!

WHAT A SHOCK TO THE BODY!!!! Wow!!! i find this really funny since this is they way I used to train all the time. Oh well except for the fact that I was not using enough weight and I would not push it until the end like I did today. Good god Cathe!!! Good god! That is all I can say. Well, I...

I see your point Hello, I see your point. I guess I take advantage of the fact that I, like many folks here, have made fitness and nutrition a priority if not a hobby. We go out and search everything we can and read everything on this stuff. I was just making the point that the person...

I saw that they recanted the original story!!! Thank God!! I originally posted that story in an attempt to show that no matter what we do, our food will always be inhabited by creepy crawlies. Even if that spider was not the deadly Brazilian Wandering spider, there was another large hairly...

Hello! Today I did what I like to call "Long Interval Runs" and the Weights and Plates section of the Abs disc (sans weights though). My long interval plan is the following: Warm up: 5 minute walk @ 3.5 mph 2% incline 5 minute job @ 5.5 mph 1% incline Intervals - follows a pyramid...

I'm with you on this ITA!!! On a side note - did anyone see that story about the Brazilian Wandering Spider that a Whole Foods employee trapped in the store??? It happened in Tulsa, OK. It is the deadliest spider in the world. According to the article, it will kill in 20-25 minutes. the...

I think I found some new muscles Haha! I think I found some new muscles in my triceps. They are at the top. This is great! What a great workout! I had to reduce the poundage again on some of the exercise. I seriously think I was super girl the week I did those 1 RM tests. Oh well. I still...

YAY!!! My goal was to complete this workout and stay within the break times allotted and use the full 70% weight. I DID IT!!! And on a leg day too!!! Leg days are always the toughest. It was challenging and I enjoyed the workout. I liked the bonus burn section too. I am looking forward...

Cardio and Core Hi, Today I ran my short intervals and did the STS abs: Pilates Based Abs. I have not been doing abs during meso 1 since I have felt my core working the entire time! Yes, I had DOMS in my core on a few occasions over the past month. Here is my short interval schedule in...

Perhaps have them come visit? Maybe they can come visit you this year - or perhaps meet half way an ddo something together in a centra location? Good luck to you! I think there are many peope out there who have canceled big vacations and have planned local trips instead.
