Rotation for Gym Style series?

Cathlete
I am a long-time FIRMer...would say I am at the inter/adv fitness level. Not looking to lose any weight, but wanting to kick it up a notch and really drop more on body fat and sculpt lean muscle.

I am not so much into complicated, high impact stepping, so I am happy to get my cardio in other ways, but I've got Cathe's stretch and Ab routines, and would like to exclusively use her weight routines as well.

I thought to start out with the Gym Style series---for legs, back/bicep, and chest/tricep. I may also get Muscle Max as well.

Any suggestions on how to rotate these in and alternate with a couple days of cardio? For example, I can't imagine how I am going to cover all my muscle groups in one workout, as that would mean doing 3 hours of the Gym style series! (Again, unless I just get Muscle Max, which covers all in a reasonable hour). I suppose I could do Gym biceps on Day 1, Legs Day 2, etc., and alternate days with upper and lower, but I feel like that is just too much exercising. I'd rather hit all the groups in 1 hr on 1 day, then have to spread it over 2-3 hours and 2-3 days. ANy thoughts?
 
Check out some of these rotations that Cathe created for us:

I'm sure there are others, but these are the ones I'm choosing from as I get ready to start a GS rotation.

Good luck and enjoy! Just beware: the DOMS from GSLegs are killer the first time you try it! }(
 
Zora, thank you for the link to the Hardcore Series. It's the series I own and I've been trying to figure out what I need to do. I would never have found this if you hadn't posted it. Thanks.
