    The Having Kids Debate

    I need some input on this. Some background info. I'm 37 and my hubby's 47. We've been married almost 6 years. I've never really wanted to have kids and he could go either way. Some days I think it would be cool, especially since my husband would make such a great father. I, on the other hand...

    STS...wanting a lean look.....

    I don't have a barbell or squat rack. I do have a tower for pull-ups, not Cathe's though. The exercises are diff for each Meso cycle. HTH. I've really enjoyed the program and the results.

    STS...wanting a lean look.....

    I have the whole set and just finished the 3 1/2 month rotation. I really liked it, and trust me when I say that I was skeptical. I am naturally thin and have long muscles (what's the correct term for that?!?). So, at the end of the rotation I can say that I am pretty darn cut. I def. look like...

    Standard rotation or undulating rotation?

    Nicole, I just finished the 3 1/2 month STS rotation as is. I really felt that I needed to do the program as it was planned. I guess my OCD made me decide. I almost think I should have done the 6 month rotation, but I really like how I can now "see" what the workouts are, where I need to...

    Meso 3

    There seems to be an error on the # of reps for the warm-up sets in this mesocycle. Example: Disc 36- two warm-up sets for standing barbell front presses- both say 12 reps, but the first set is actually 15. Thanks.

    NO TOWER--- How were your results

    I can't answer your question regarding the tower since I do have a tower (no Cathe's). I did have to modify the pull-ups after the first two reps though. I only use dumbbells for STS. I don't even own a barbell, although I've considered buying one. But when I really think about why I want...

    Best exercices for the butt!

    No, Kathryn, I just did the premix. Next time, I'll do the floorwork between the warm-up and premix, like you suggested. I wanted to see how the premix was w/o your added torture. Now I know!!

    So ... SNM ... modifier or no modifier?

    I would also really like to know the answer to this question :)

    Best exercices for the butt!

    Kathryn- just did the premix you recommended (Leg Blast) and my legs felt like they were made of rubber so many times throughout the workout. I think Cathe took every exercise I hate, or is hard for me, and did them about 4 times each! Gosh, for those who haven't tried this premix, you must...

    Oh, Debbie. That's great advice. It's just what I was looking for but didn't have the know-how to come up with it on my own :) Thanks so much.

    Plyo Legs Meso 3

    I posted this in the STS forum, but no tips. Thought I would try here. I just started Mesocycle 3 on Sunday and did the Plyo Legs disk this morning. Although I would love to be able to do the plyo portions of the workout, I had to think of other things to do instead to modify. I pretty much...

    Plyo Legs

    I just started Mesocycle 3 on Sunday and did the Plyo Legs disk this morning. Although I would love to be able to do the plyo portions of the workout, I had to think of other things to do instead to modify. I pretty much ran out of things to do and do skater hops to the side for several of the...

    having knee issues

    I can't say this enough- listen to your body and don't overtrain! Gosh, I wish I had listened to that! I thought I could just jump back into running 5 miles a day because I was in shape and could do it-mentally and physically with every part of my body EXCEPT my knees! So, now I have to...

    Additional leg workout?

    I am no expert by any means, but here's what I do. My legs also seem to need two workouts a week. I'm just on Meso 2, but I've added another leg day to my week. My weekly workout looks like this: Sunday: Back and Biceps + abs Mon.: Kickboxing Tues.: Legs (STS) + abs Wed.: OFF Thurs...

    Unpleasant Side Effects

    This could be the case with some people (smelly sulphur smelling gas), but for me it wasn't WHAT I was eating. It was that I was eating. I know. Sounds strange. But now, I am normal and I'm still eating the same way- eggs, whey protein in my oatmeal, cottage cheese... Thanks for the link. It...

    Unpleasant Side Effects

    I started a thread about this awhile back. The thread link is below. I paste what's been going on sense. I am almost 100% better now. Gosh, I feel like I have my life back. My stomach is super flat and ripped. Life is very good! Thanks for asking...
