I actually ate a bit "better" with my TA Meta rotation than with my previous 3 month Firm rotation and had better results with the Firm. My body seems to love AWT.

I feel like this thread is aweesome....very informative. I know studies say this and expiriments say that and we read the fitness magazines and they say lift heavy, women can't bulk, yada yada yada, but whoever said that it is dependent on each person because we are all different from a phsyiologic perspective, well, that about hits the nail on the head.
I really wanted to get amazing results with Cathe but I didn't. I also was hungry ALL OF THE TIME. My body too seems to love AWT, 4-limb movements, etc. I also really love those kinds of workouts. Another thing that really helped me lose some fat was doing c25k walk/run intervals along w/ The FIRM, so I need to start something like that back up since summer is here and the weather is great for outdoor workouts! It's so funny...I wonder why sometimes we stray from what has proven to work for us, time and time again? For me, I know from personal experience, multiple times, that The FIRM gives me solid results. With better diet choices I get better results but even when I am eating like absolute crap (think 21 year old partying college lifestyle food choices) I still was able to get some good results and lose about 12 lbs w/ the FIRM. I think light to moderate weights and AWT is key for me. I sold my Cathe Body Blast rotation on ebay and was glad to see it go. Today I got notified that my Cathe LIS rotation sold too. I really wanted to love her workouts but I'm starting to feel they just aren't for me. Also - about Cathe really doing one thing, then moving to the next, then the next VS. the Firm where you are doing all kinds of different things at once, I think that is another reason why I don't see as great of results. I think doing multiple moves at once increases the cardio aspect of it, which seems to help for me. One thing that really made me start to question if Cathe's workouts were right for me was on her forums, some of the girls there were mentioning what we are talking about - getting big, bulking up, being hungry, not seeing results, etc - and there was this concensus that we needed to "lift heavier, stick out the rotation for longer, etc" ... push through the gain in inches because eventually it will turn into more muscle and more fat being lost. To me that was insane. Bust my *** harder than I ever have so that I can increase in size just to hope that eventually it turns into a decrease? No thank you!
