Happy Halloween, hope everyone is enjoying their day! I have been tracking my food intake with fitday for about 4 weeks now. I seem to eat anywhere between 1400 and 1900 calories. I wear a heart rate monitor when I do carido, stay "in the zone" btwn 50 and 60 min and average a caloric burn of...

Having had a battle with the scale when I suffered from anorexia years ago, I've stayed away from the scale. Last time I weighed myself eas last summer on my honeymoon when I was feeling very good in my body and I was 114. Now, I know I've gained a litte weight..I'm 5'2" so 5lbs can be...

The experiment continues... Starting in May I began a 2 week S&H rotation followed by the Tank Top Arm rotation (with some variation) followed by Cathes MIS/PH rotation (first two weeks MIS 2x PH 1x, 2nd 2 weeks PH 2x MIS 1x) I am 3 weeks into it and really just don't like my results. (I do...

Quick question for the educated crowd.....After doing a S&H rotation, followed by TTArms, followed by Cathes MIS/PH rotation, I am looking for something different. I definately have built muscle and feel strong, though still long for a leaner look. I want to cut up and thought circuit training...

Quick question for Cathe and the educated crowd.....After doing a S&H rotation, followed by TTArms, followed by Cathes MIS/PH rotation, I am looking for something different. I want to cut up and thought circuit training might be the answer. I searched the forum, but ended up more confused. in...

Just wondering what everyone usually does about protein consumption after strength training. I know the "protein window" is 60 to 90 minutes after training, although when I do my weight work at night I don't always have the luxury of time, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. What are your...

LAST EDITED ON Aug-05-02 AT 03:10PM (Est)[p]I know this seems silly, but I do not know how much my bar weighs. It is a 6ft standard bar made of cast iron. I was given the weights and the set did not come with any specifications. It also came with 4 dumbell bars and am unsure of their weight...

LAST EDITED ON Jul-31-02 AT 04:46PM (Est)[p]LAST EDITED ON Jul-31-02 AT 04:45 PM (Est) I posted this to Cathe, but wondered if any one else had some advice: I have been working on a variation of the famous "tank top rotation" for almost 8 weeks now, but have hit a snag that I hope you can help...

Hi Cathe, I have been working on a variation of the famous "tank top rotation" for almost 8 weeks now, but have hit a snag that I hope you can help me work out. I am not sure how to procede... Strength training-wise I had been doing MIS on Monday, CTX on wed and PH on Friday. Last week I only...

Hi Cathe, Just got CTX and absolutely love it! My question is regarding the weight used for shrugs. I remember you saying to use a light weight when doing shrugs otherwise you could develop a bulky look, but in CTX it seemed like you suggested a heavier wieght. Can you explain? Just want to make...

Hi Cathe, Just wondered what heart rate monitor you use. I am looking for a new one. Thanks, Chloe

I have had a Polar Heart Rate Monitor (M51) for about a year and a half. In that time I have had to send it in for servicing twice and also find that it loses its signalsometimes mid-workout, which can be distracting. I am interested in purchases a new one. Does anyone have one that they would...

My mom is 59 and in terrific shape, but she hasn't been cross training enough and isn't doing much strength training. She just lost the weight that she had gained when she started menopause. She has always had a muscular upper body naturally, which she would like to enhance and she really wants...

Hi Cathe. I know this is something that comes up all the time, but I am really frustrated and need some help! I know we are all different and need to experiment but I really value your opinion. I did a three week rotation of S&H (I did three days on, one day off) Then I started a variation of...

Hi Cathe and the rest of the group, Hope you are doing well. I know that we must all experiment to find what works best for each of us, but I have to say it is getting frustrating. I have been exercising for over 10 years, but focusing on weight training much more the past 2 years. I am...

I just recieved MIS and plan to do it tomorrow morning. I may not have time to preview it this evening and wondered if anyone could give me an idea of the weights used in it as compared to what Cathe (or you) use with PS. I am guessing that the poundage is lighter for endurance, but just wanted...

Just wondering the difference between the two... On another note, I am enjoying me second week of S&H, (3 days on, one off) and I've already noticed a difference in my strength. I highly recommend it to anyone needing to break a plateau!

I am new to the forum although I have been doing Cathes tapes for a while. I have been using the PS series and Cory Eversons Get Hard and needed a change. I have become very strong but really want more definition in my upper body. I tend to get bulky in the quads and want to work my legs...
