    End of STS...What Next? Body Beast?

    Oh my gosh, HI!!!! How cool to "see" you here!!! Thanks so much for the kind words. I absolutely LOVED STS and am still kind of in mourning for it being over. I was really underweight when I started so I think my body just sopped up all the extra calories I started feeding it and turned most of...

    Thanks, Karen! LOL! Looks like you're having a day like I am. ;) Technology is always fun, isn't it? You make a great point. In fact, such a good point it was worth posting twice! Seriously though, I should know better than to expect it will be perfect the first time through. I got spoiled with...

    End of STS...What Next? Body Beast?

    Okay, so I started XTrain today and the first workout was Chest, Back & Shoulders. While it is clearly a great workout, it is SO different from STS that it threw me for a loop. I was all over the place with my weights meaning I had no clue what to use and basing it off of my 1RM from STS simply...

    I love Kickbox and have a good collection from which I could choose. Maybe I'll do Hardstrikes followed by one of KCM's 30 Minutes to Fitness Kickboxing workouts if I feel energetic that day. I like Hardstrikes but to me it feels too easy ANY too short. Maybe adding on an additional lighter...

    Okay, ladies, I believe I decided to go with the XTrain 90 Day Undulating rotation. I have 2 questions though... First, I have done Hard Strikes and don't find it particularly enjoyable or very challenging. Did you follow the rotation to the letter or did you sometimes sub in other cardio for...

    End of STS...What Next? Body Beast?

    What a fantastic idea! Did you do the workouts in order or just pick one at random? For your leg day, did you do the STS workouts or another workout of your choice? I many do Meso 3 Squat Rack one day but, since my legs tend to bulk up VERY easily, I figured I should stick with Plyo Legs this...

    End of STS...What Next? Body Beast?

    Awesome, thanks! That sounds like exactly what I am looking for. As for the getting too lean thing, this girl can EAT so I have a feeling that I can make sure I don't get too lean. ;) I was checking the Rotation out and notice that it uses Premixes. I will be using OnDemand so I don't have...

    Premixes?

    Hi! I love my Cathe OnDemand and am enjoying the new Workout Blender a lot. I was wondering if Premixes will be added for OnDemand subscribers and, if so, when will they be added? I am interested in doing a suggested Cathe rotation that uses Premixes but don't have access to them via OnDemand...

    End of STS...What Next? Body Beast?

    Hi Justine! Ok, I like the sound of XTrain. I would be thrilled to "lean out" without losing any of my hard-earned muscle. What kind of a rotation did you do? Did you follow Cathe's suggested rotation? I use OnDemand all the time which makes the options incredible!

    Thank you very much, Nathalie, for your kind words as well as for the link to the Bodybuilding rotation. Roz, that suggestion sounds awesome! Kind of the best of all worlds! Do you recommend using each of the programs included in a way that hits each body part 1 time per week or 2 times per...

    I subscribe to Cathe OnDemand so I will definitely check out Gym Styles. Would you consider it more endurance, hypertrophy, or strength based? It's funny that there is a rotation pyramiding STS....my guess is that someone just like me, who was not ready for it to end, came up with that idea! I...

    End of STS...What Next? Body Beast?

    I am starting my last week of STS and I am already going through withdrawals (EEK!). This program has done more for me than I could begin to explain. 7 pounds of (mostly) mostly muscle added to my no-longer underweight body, muscles that I can actually SEE, more confidence and, man oh man, more...

    Introducing Our New Workout Blender

    I just had to pop in to say WOW! and THANK YOU!!!! What a wonderful addition to what was already a fantastic product. I have been enjoying Cathe OnDemand for a while now and can honestly say that this new feature has made me an even bigger fan. "Fan" may be putting it mildly...."addict" may be...

    Introducing Our New Workout Blender

    I am in LOVE!!!! One quick question. I dragged and dropped a video so that I could view the chapters but decided it wasn't a good fit for the workout I'm creating. How do I remove the workout from the "Videos" section?

    How would you classify Plyo Legs in STS?

    Well, I just got my butt handed to me by Butts & Guts' Overall Legs premix. WHEW, that was a humbling experience! I see the little 5 pounders and am like, pssshh, I'll use 15s or 20s. HA! I had planned on doing the 100 rep hip thrust challenge as an add-on but, seeing as I was totally...

    How would you classify Plyo Legs in STS?

    Thanks ladies! I am a little nervous to do Squat Rack Legs only because I don't have anyone to spot me and, while I am able to load the bar up heavy (yay!!!), I don't trust my ability to do it safely by myself. That said, does Cathe have another Legs/Lower Body workout that you'd recommend for...

    How would you classify Plyo Legs in STS?

    Hi everyone! I am hoping the smart folks in this forum can help me figure something out. How would you classify the Plyo Legs workouts in Meso 3 of STS? Are they Hiit? Are they Metabolic Hiit? Strength? Just Metabolic? I know my heart rate gets into the anaerobic range during some of the workout...

    Still adding muscle during Meso 3???

    Awesome! I am going to share your post with my boyfriend. I am trying to get him to do the program and he keeps doubting his ability. Way to go! 65 and join strong - literally! :)

    Still adding muscle during Meso 3???

    Justine, That's a fantastic idea! I will do Meso 3 and then perhaps repeat Meso 2 and then 3 again right after that. Can you tell I just don't want it to end? Lol! STS has changed so much for me and I am so thankful that you ladies recommended it! Christin

    Still adding muscle during Meso 3???

    Hi ladies! I can't believe it but I am actually on my last week of Meso 2 of STS. I have LOVED this mesocycle and can really see some nice little muscles popping out. :) This leads me to a question. In Meso 3, since it is designed to increase strength, is my understanding correct that I...
