Thanks I must admit that 3 days a week is a plus for me. I'll zone out for the lifting and play with the cardio for fun.

Sharaz thanks for the explanation. It's apparently a case of the "I have to run slowly to run quickly". Not intuitive at all, but I know it's been proven. Something to think about also when not doing a periodization program and simply picking different weight workouts.

Both Body Beast and STS are very good. The programs are structured somewhat differently though. Body Beast has a heavier emphasis on hypertrophy and strength, than endurance. Body Beast also introduces a variety of lifting techniques such as forced sets, progressive sets, combo sets, giant sets, dropped sets and tempo sets. I prefer Body Beast's bulk phase to Cathe's Meso 3 mainly because of the variety of exercises and lifting techniques utilized. I prefer Cathe's Meos 1 (minus the gazillion pushups) for endurance training. STS is better structured to help with the proper weight selection for each exercise because she introduces the one rep max for discovering the proper weight to use. I have completed STS three times and Body Beast twice and either program can be used to build strength and muscle definition though in many ways BB is more advanced than STS . |
