BJ Metashred Question and Upcoming Metashred Extreme - Page 5

I didn't see a coupon code. I caved and ordered

. I did notice in the streaming the Lower Body 1 is still missing and there is a warm up where the first workout should be.

I was able to apply the customer25 code for %25 off in the rodale store, I didn't buy it yet though (and didn't put on any personal info

).

So I pulled the trigger and bought this. I'm hoping I like it since I've never done a Men's Health or BJ workout in my life. I've been doing mostly Cathe Lives the last few weeks. I'm intrigued by the hip thrusts since it's something I don't usually do.

Sugar, that's so clever! I previewed a few of the workouts last night and they are just what I like, rep speed, all of it. The cardio blasts looked doable. The only thing I'm sort of on the fence is the occlusion training. I've never heard of it before.

The occlusion training segments are very short, (5 min each I think) and optionally added on to the end of a workout. I have not competed any of those sections and add on my own cool down & stretches.

Jane, I hope you'll enjoy the set, I can't wait to get it myself.

Beth, I've never heard of occlusion training before this set came out either.

I found some interesting articles about it:

I sure think they are! Tough workouts and fun too as BJ has a crazy sense of humor.

I am not a lover of this set at all. I find BJ beyond annoying. . downright cheap and tacky... I am no prude and am as liberal as can be.. but he is like a frat boy.. I love comedy and a dirty mind.. but his is just not my style.. to the point where I couldn't do the workouts again even if they were my dream workouts. I was expecting muscle building workouts.. and to me.. these are not. I tried each workout once.. was torturous boredom and total waste of my workout time. I kept waiting to like one of the workouts.. but didn't. I did like some of the lower body moves.. hip thrusts etc... but I do them often anyways. Off to the donation box it goes! I am glad some enjoy them.. and continue too.. but here's my personal opinion of them.

bubbles76 · 02-27-17, 09:08 PM

Wow, I'm sorry you didn't like BJ, but I'm sure you'll get a lot of offers for this set. Maybe Sugar will trade with you?

ealakey · 02-27-17, 10:07 PM

I see that all the workouts are now on the streaming site. Over the past few days they seemed to have moved around.

I'm hoping to get started tomorrow. I'm going to try to preview again and create workout cards before I get started.

This is edited to add I had previously read a few different reviews about his humor and appreciate everyone's input. I wasn't sure what to expect since this is my first set from him and some male instructors can really get on my nerves, but so far on the first two workouts I have completely missed any references to double entendres or dirty jokes.

My kids tell me menopause has definitely given me selective hearing. I really think I'm going to be focused on what the beginner and intermediate exercisers are doing.
