I'm the same, I mostly use a bench but if Cathe is doing them on the floor then so do I. Good point.

Well, I revisited Giant Sets yesterday and will be moving on to the individual body parts this week. I was able to increase my weights on 9 of the 10 bilateral exercises and 5 of the 10 unilateral exercises, although I think I could have gone heavier on a couple more of the unilateral ones...

So sorry to hear that Viv. Keep safe.

I agree. When doing them on the floor you are supposed to just lightly tap the floor, but this often turns into a momentary rest as you get fatigued. Also, when doing them on the bench you need more body awareness to make sure you don't go lower than bench height. You need to be aware of...

I was paying for it afterwards too after using my hooks on the Super Sets Express 4 premix. I've had to take 2 recovery days with stretching and foam rolling. Hoping to do the Trisets Express 3 premix today.

I think I will need a notebook too soon. Even with 66 I'm already finding it difficult to keep track of them all. I get a slight pause between chapters as it switches. I hardly notice it now and even less so when transitioning from a chapter to a break. The blender allows you to insert...

I've noticed a big difference in using the hooks. I did the Super Sets Express 4 premix yesterday and used the hooks for the squats and deadlifts round, and the shrugs and calf raises round. Not only was I able to go heavier on those rounds but I was also able to go heavier on some of the...

I've definitely gotten thicker around my stomach area even though my weight hasn't changed. I've tried fat burners like Oxyshred, thermogenic protein powders, supplements that are meant to melt the fat away etc, etc. None of them have worked for me for reducing fat. Many of them contain...

Wow! That's a lot of blending. :) I have 66 blended workouts in total and 14 of those are from STS 2.0. Mostly it is to shorten the length of the workout by eliminating some exercises but sometimes it is just adding an extra break. Like between the chair and mat yoga I added a 15s break to...

I've finally finished my body parts mixes that I made in the workout blender. This was taking the 2 body parts premixes idea but shortening the workouts to fit my schedule. During the week I'm often only able to do 45min max. It took me longer than expected to get through these workouts due...

Thanks for sharing. Your rotation is kind of what I was thinking, using the Hypertrophy phase of STS 1.0 along with STS 2.0.

Wow! I didn't even notice the set change. :)

Many of the top athletes have incorporated more stretching, flexibility, and mobility into their training regimens. As sports science has evolved it is recognized that to maintain peak performance, and reduce the risk of injuries, you can't just go hard out all the time and flexibility and...

I think STS 2.0 lifting exercises are closer to STS 1.0 Phase 2 Hypertrophy. STS 2.0 tends to use between 8-12 reps for most exercises. The lifting exercises in STS 2.0 also seem to be comparable to the lifting exercises in X-Train. STS 1.0 is different in that it splits the workouts into 2...

Also check out Cathe's coupons as I think she has a coupon for 20% off when you spend $20 or more on downloads. Cathe usually does a really good Black Friday deal in November too. I started off purchasing Live downloads before I got decent internet and switched to streaming.

Nice suggestions Fitdeb and Debinmi! I haven't done slide n glide in a long time. Would love a cardio barre workout. Something cardio using the mini ball would be good too.

Happy Birthday!! Shoulders are still my least favorite area, particularly overhead presses. I've been doing combination body parts based on the premixes but using the workout manager to shorten them to fit into my workout time. I've made up 2 workouts for each body part combination, so...

Attention Forum Admin. I have just discovered that the User Guide is missing the chapter for Kneeling Double Arm Sweeper Curls. This should be after Kneeling Alternating Sweeper Curls and before Hammer Curls.

Congratulations Lannette! I haven't done Muscle Max in a long time.

Yes, those are the ones. I have the WAGS Ultra as these were the only ones I could get in New Zealand, but there are different types. I only use them for Yoga. I have tried using them on my Pilates reformer when doing planks but because of the pads I can't grip the foot bar properly and it...
