Hi, How do you count weight on a barbell? For example, if I put 30 lbs on the left side and 30 lbs on the right side, do I have 30 lbs plus the weight of the bar total? Or do I have 60 lbs plus the weight of the bar? Now that I think about it, how about dumbells? When you say 30 lb...

Hi Workoutholic, the calculation for my calorie intake is about 2100 (can't remember the exact number which is at home). I've been eating about 1400 -1500 or 1800 calories at the most. Have I ruined my metabolism? Should I up my calorie intake to that 2100 number for a while so I have a...

Hi, I own Boot Camp DVD for over a year but just did it for the first time this am. I love it so much I just preordered STS Shock Cardio (I didn't originally because I'm not coordinated at all....... but I'll give it a try). Anyway, should I count Boot Camp as a cardio or weight? Can I do...

Hi! I'm concerned that years of (unknowingly) not eating enough might have killed my metabolism. (I'd been doing low carb and low cal) How can I get my body out of the starvation mode to a normal person mode? Or has it been destroyed forever?:( thanks, TG

2 workouts? What is your workout routine?

Thanks Tricia, I checked out the website and got a bunch of calorie suggestions. They don't have 6 day workout though. So I chose 5 day/intense, 5 days (normal ?) and everyday and got diferrent numbers :)

Kathryn, Thank you so much! I'm not sure if I can survive with less than 1400 cal :( But may be I can try!

Hi, I need help losing body fat. I have no idea how many calories I should take in per day. Some source says my weight times 10. I pluged in at mypyramid.gov and got 1880 cal per day. I've been eating counting calories for 3 weeks now. Average I'm taking in 1480 cal per day. Is that...

Hi Cathe, Thank you so much for your reply! I really appreciate it. If I workout at lunch time then I eat lunch 1 hour before the workout and have a protein drink after. Is it a good idea? I will shock my body with cardio. Is changing the cardio routines a shock? For example, I'll...

Hi, I have been trying to find a way to fight my middle age bulge. I'm doing STS (3 days) and cardio ( 45 mins, 3 days) in the morning. Is adding 30 mins cardio at lunch time 5 days a week going to be a good idea or is it going to be more harm? I sit at work all day long. Thanks, TG

Hi, I'm done with my week 2 of Meso 1 and I think I might have injured my right rotator cuff (in the shoulder?) on the last workout (chest). It went away over the weekend. This am I started my week 3 with back and triceps and could feel the little pain there again. Should I lay STS off...

Oh my god!!!!

This is a cry for help to everyone. Please help!!!! It seems to happen right after my 46th birthday! All of a sudden I'm very round in the middle and it's very easy to see because I'm 5' tall. I workout and eat clean (most of the time ...... I have off day on the weekend) like before. So...

Hi, I'll leave the country for about 2 weeks from the last week of November returning the end of the first week of December. I just started Meso 1 again this week. (I've done only Meso 1 so far) Seems like the time frame is not enough for a 6 month rotation. I think I'll be only finishing...

I have finished Mesocycle One over a month ago. I took quite a long vacation and it's almost 2 months since Mesocycle One. Should I go back and do Mesocycle One over again or can I move on to Mesocycle Two? Thanks, TG

I feel that my 65% is too high too. That causes me to concern that I might not have done my RM1 correctly.

I thought I was the only one feeling that way on disc 7! I did disc 7 yesterday and at the end I couldn't use the targeted weights. I also couldn't finish the push ups! I mostly feel the soreness in my shoulders.

I checked that and my history is not there :(

Hi, I've recorded my measurments and body fat plus weight in body log in workout manager and saved them twice (last month and this month ) but unable to find what I have saved. Where can I find my records? Thanks, TG
