Hi, are your workouts still based on Strong Curves book? I noticed you started this thread about 2 years ago. What are you current goals?
I just started reading SC book, there's a lot of waffle to get through but I'm seriously considering to try this training method. Would you recommend it?

pemtca · 10-06-2016 2:44pm

Hi there! The program I'm doing now is kind of a follow-on from Strong Curves - it's called Get Glutes, and it's created by the same trainers as wrote Strong Curves - Kellie Davis & Bret Contreras. It's an online program with all workouts available on video, and you can also submit form checks to the forum for feedback, which is extremely useful. It's a monthly subscription but I got a lifetime membership the last time they ran that particular deal, which was really good value. I have to say I find it really great - the workouts change every month which helps to keep my interest. Strong Curves was excellent too, and a really good starting point.
