Differences between STS 2.0 Lower Body 1, 2, and Body Parts Legs?

[Kellyro77]

I originally posted this to the "Newest/Upcoming" forum and wasn't getting any response, so I've moved my question here. I'd love some insights on this. Thanks!

I was just noting that when we get to phase 3 of the STS 2.0 rotation that for lower body, Cathe just focuses on lower body as a whole (legs), instead of breaking that down into body parts, as well.

Seems like it's kind of the same as the Lower Body 1 and Lower Body 2 workouts in Phase 2, only of course she throws in different exercises.

I wonder if there's a specific benefit to only using Body Parts Legs during Phase 3 of the rotation, or, if really any of her STS 2.0 lower body only workouts could get thrown in (in case you're getting tired of the same legs rotation every week.)

Thoughts?

I recall seeing that, too, Debinmi. I was also partially dismayed to be losing so many recovery days when we get to phase 3. But then that's just my natural lazy self getting grumbly about it. I understand that the majority of my other muscles are going to be resting/recovering when I just focus on one part per day.

I don't follow all the months rotations that Cathe posts, but I think sometime it would be great if she posted a premix-only rotation that only uses the premixes from her workouts. I'm curious, for example, about trying out her Split Routine option that's mentioned in the User Guide, Moreover how she'd personally recommend using it and rotating it.

Oh! I didn't see she had the Mishmoshes in a particular rotation. I'll go check it out!

I think there’s a science to Cathe’s thinking when she puts together a rotation ( I’m just guessing ) with STS 2.0. With heavy weight training and desirable outcomes there’s a certain way of building muscle ( again just guessing) if we trained with her Live one on one maybe it would be different or because she has to think of everyone having different bodies, eating habits, schedules, commitments levels she has to build her rotation a certain way.
