Kittybug: I'm laughing at your "sore, tired, and starving" comment. That's how I felt the first round, although I wasn't starving at all. On my second round of STS, I was only sore the first week of each mesocycle but on the subsequent weeks I had very little soreness. I attribute that to two things: drinking a whey protein shake immediately after every strength workout, and getting adequate calories, protein, and carbs for energy and muscle repair (that's all I will say about that). Heavy weights don't do a thing to my appetite, although too much cardio makes me ravenous.
Bee: I feel the same way. I hardly ever get rid of workouts, due to FOMO and most DVDs becoming scarce and OOP. Plus, my tastes change over time. Re your no-sugar challenge, I don't eat that much sugar although I love my dark chocolate and will never give it up! Horusosiris: I have to have my mirror to check my form and look at my muscles I've worked so hard to build. Cataddict: I initially thought of doing an undulating STS rotation for my third round (don't know when yet), however IMHO it's better to do it in its linear fashion due to the way it's set up. I find that Meso 1 builds up endurance in the smaller, supporting muscles to enable me to lift heavier in the other two mesocycles. If I were to skip Meso 1, I probably wouldn't be able to lift as heavy in the other two mesos. BUTT that's just me. For my third round, I'm either doing Jengollf/2lazy4gym's glute focused rotation with my own mods (https://2lazy4gym.com/2015/12/05/sts...cused-rotation), or a 5.5 month pyramid doing Meso 1, 2, 3, 2, 1. If I do the latter, however, I'm afraid I'll get burned out on it. I might even do a version of Cathe's Bodybuilding Rotation that I saw on her forum a while back (https://cathe.com/forum/threads/rota...ilding.287493/). I'd love to chat more, BUTT I'm afraid of giving me an error. Waves to all!
