Dear Cathe,
My sister and I started S&H weight training about two weeks ago. We do three sets of each exercise, starting with 12 reps, then 10 and 8 with the 8-set being the heaviest. With that in mind, I have found your S&H tapes to be extremely effective (I'm sore), especially for the upper body. Right now for legs, I'm squatting 65, 75 and 95 pounds for my sets. Our count may not be as slow as yours, but it's not fast by any means. With lunges I max out at 65 pounds and for deadlifts, 100 pounds. I find these weights acceptable for now. Can I use this heavy of weights for your leg sets? Or do you think this is just way to much at such a slow count? We plan to do your S&H leg/shoulders tape on Thursday. I'm getting verbose now as my mind starts going a mile a minute, but, I'm thinking that maybe we should continue to do our leg workouts for another week or so and then switch to S&H?
Thanks for any help you can give me. This gym-like workout stuff is new to me!

PS. I had so much fun doing Rhythmic Step yesterday! Cedie is such a dancer...so graceful! And then we did S&H Back & Chest. I thought it was really a great tape. We actually smiled and laughed a few times through the pain! Great job!
