I love this thread! I almost consider STS Meso 1 a cardio/metabolic training workout because I don't let my heart rate get out of training zone.
I just did Meso 1 Discs 4-9, six strength workouts in a 7-day period, mostly because I wanted to get the last three discs completed before I went to visit my mom, and for me it was tough to strength train so many days in a row, but I see why so many people train this way. As long as you plan the workouts so you don't overtrain, then I think it's absolutely doable. My favourite mesocycle was 3 because I like lifting heavy and doing plyo legs; I just recently got the squat rack dvds because, well, I wanted to and I think it would be fun to try doing two leg days in Meso 3. If I could only get one Meso I'd choose Meso 3 because Cathe has other workouts that could be subbed for Mesos 1 and 2 (LIS Trisets, STS total body) but nothing to my knowledge like Meso 3. If there is anything like Meso 3, I'd like to know about it to add it to my "buy" list. With some creative planning, it might be possible to combine systems to that you'd have more variety in your workout week. For example: Hope this helps!

I LOVE body beast (never made it though the full rotation but that's just my exercise ADD). I've just re-started JNL fusion & plan to do body beast after. Good luck & lift heavy!
ETA: I posted in this old thread previously & I still feel the same!

I guess we are all different, I can't shed lbs without doing cardio.
