Yes, thank you so much for doing this. It really helps to glance quickly and get started! Kris

New to this forum. But just wanted to say that I now can do chinups. I could not do even one when I started STS. I also do pullups. Again, I could not do a one and now I can do about 12. Very proud of myself. I did do disc #3-legs-ooouuuuccchhhh!!!! Did not, though, have as bad of DOMS as...

Couldn't find the Altus-I really wanted this type(w/the hooks) but ended up with another kind-a metal hook that wraps around the bar. I had to get used to the hook-it's probably about 1-1/2" wide and at first it seemed to get in the way, but after a few lifts, it was OK. I could not have...

I am going to start this rotation after I get the tower. I needed a spotter for most of the last chest cycle, though my husband was willing, I hated to ask him:(. So, I will just wait for the tower. I am also interested in how everyone is doing with this rotation-should be fun:D!! Kris

Hi Cathe and all of you STSers, I am going to do Chris' STS undulating rotation when I finish my rest week and was wondering if I should redo my 1rm:confused:? Actually, if I just restart STS again, should I redo all of my 1rm? I know I am much stronger than when I started, so it kind of...

Need a beginner rotation for a friend and -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- was wondering if anyone knew of a beginner rotation using weights? I am helping a friend (who has cancer) try to gain some strength and endurance. She had worked out...

was wondering if anyone knew of a beginner rotation using weights? I am helping a friend (who has cancer) try to gain some strength and endurance. She had worked out in the past, but going through chemo has put a little crimp in her workouts. I am going to start her out with about 1-2 lb hand...

Hi Shanihib-I, too, had to increase my weights-which meant I had to adjust all the wts for all of the workout cards I had already printed. I wonder why these wts felt light? Are we stronger than we thought??:) I don't know if I will have doms or not. I only had them last cycle after doing...

I will probably do Imax 2 today as well. I cannot wait for Sunday-when I will start STS again. I really miss weightlifting. I have seen pretty good results so far, and have realized in order to get the most benefits of this program, I must incorporate cardio into my routine. These old bones...

Thanks for all of your input. It really helped me. I ordered the ISSA program and it came yesterday. I am really excited!! Thanks again-Kris

Hi Cathe and all of you STS'ers, Just wanted to say I love this whole series. I did #12 today and thought it was great!! The only problem I had, was with the paper plates. I was sweating so much the paper plates got stuck on the pools of sweat I was leaving on the floor!! That just made...

need help deciding what online course to enroll in. Do any of you out there have any suggestions on how to become a fitness trainer, or the best course of action to becoming one? I am 56 (57 in a couple of weeks) and have been working out for 28+ years. I am doing STS with Cathe right now, and...

If you have the STS workout guide, page 104 is where you will find all of the exercises and their star value. I printed mine out way before I received STS, and had to guess at the disc number, but I noticed in the guide they have already put in the disc number,so this is much easier and a lot...

I, too have gained weight and am very hungry-all of the time:( I hope it's just my body getting used to the STS system. If not, maybe it's that I'm adding more muscle:eek: Kris

I copied and pasted to an Excel spreadsheet and then adjusted all of the column heights, widths and font size. I then saved a copy with just the headings and when I go to print out my workout card, I copy and paste to that worksheet. I have to do a little more work, but at least I am not...

Hi STSers, When doing the bent leg pulse with the paper plate and it sticks because of the sweat and no matter how far my leg goes down, it still sticks, is this considered cheating???LOL Thank you, Cathe, no really thank you for a fantastic workout. I also did Stability ball abs and...

I believe that the card is giving you the odd wts because it calculates 60% of your one rep max. I had the same thing happen and in order to make the workout go a little smoother, I bought pace weights. They come in a box of 9. Each of them weigh 1/2lb. They are magnetic and are perfect for...

Hi Cathe, I, too just started over with you. I had done Disc 1,2,3,4 when I discovered I would very much like to join you and the the cast of thousands. I really can get through most of it, EXCEPT those dang pushups!!! I start on my knees, then go to my toes, then go to my knees and then go...

Thanks Beth, I've noticed too that there are a lot of duplicates. I guess I thought a deadlift was a deadlift and would be copied to all deadlifts. Oh well. Thanks again. Kris

Hi Jo, Just went on Walmart.com and they must be out of the vest as well-the only vests I found were Gold's and Corey Eversons. Sorry about that. Kris
