    "Rotation" for week of 1 rep max tests?

    Hi Paulababy & Tricia, I don't know how helpful my plan will be for you, but I thought I would post it since you haven't gotten any other suggestions. I just copied and pasted it from my check-in. So far, I've selected a weight that I can complete 9-11 reps for the exercise. Maybe it will give...

    All Equipment Used in STS

    Hi Liz, Cathe and crew seem to be showing different options, but here is some information on what you'll need. This answer is from the STS FAQ: #12 Do I need a lot of equipment to do STS? No, STS really doesn't require any more equipment than we have used in our other videos with the one...

    Question on replication phase

    Hi Cathe, Thanks for taking a moment to stop in and answer my question. The days between Halloween and New Years move so quickly that I know STS will arrive in the blink of an eye :D. I’m so excited to get started and so are all my check-in buds. We’ve been chatting up a storm and staying...

    Older workout on vhs

    Hi sknauss, At some point in time a few other people have been interested in having one or two of the same workouts on DVD; you are not alone. I’ve never seen SNM totally rule out Mega Step Blast (but it has been a while and a decision could have been made not to transfer to DVD). They have...

    what do you need for sts?

    SNM's answer: "For the most part we will use the equipment like we normally use in our weight workouts; i.e. Barbell, Dumbbells, Band/Tubing,stability ball, Yoga Mat, Step, Ankle Weights and a High Step. You will just want to make sure you have a complete set of dumbbells (light, medium and...

    Make your own plate mates?

    Hi Jane, I think you would be better off waiting on the slanted risers (and even the squat rack) and buying the plate mates. This way you wouldn't need as many DBs and you wouldn't compromise your form (I think the dangling sandbags are a bad idea). If you really want to add weight without...

    Questions about Mesocycles #1 and #2

    I see. In the 3rd mesocycle of STS you’ll be lifting 80-90% of your 1 rep max for 6-8 reps with longer rest periods (or 5-7 depending on if you check the STS FAQ or the Blog). This is a strength and hypertrophy range. If you decreased your reps and increased the % of your 1 rep max...

    Questions about Mesocycles #1 and #2

    Hi catiefit2, Whether you lift heavier or lighter your goal should be to select a weight that stimulates your muscles to respond. The training effect of different rep ranges combined with your 1 rep max will assist you to achieve your goals (whether they are strength & power, hypertrophy, or...
