Default Slow & Heavy or PS Series?

Hi Cathe. I don't have the PS Series (yet!), and I'm wondering which one you'd suggest. I have the Xpress series and Max. Intensity series. It seems these are geared towards endurance. Is that correct? I want to gain strength (and definition, if my genes will permit me!) So I was set to order the PS series and a new barbell. Now that you've announced the new videos, I don't know if I should wait..(There is a little voice in my head screaming the obvious - I'll eventually have them ALL!! What am I waiting for???)
So, for strength gains for someone who is still at the dumbell use only (10lbs, 8lbs, 5lbs) stage, what would you suggest as the next step? I guess what I'm asking is this :Is the Slow & Heavy series to be more advanced than the PS Series?
Any guidance in regard to this will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Tricia

Default RE: Slow & Heavy or PS Series?

Hi Tricia! If you want to gain strength and definition and are currently using 5,8,and 10 pound dumbells, and were contemplating getting a new barbell, I think that you would benefit greatly from the Pure Strength Series. You will be pleased with the strength improvements that you will achieve. Simply start the series with a lighter weight(but make sure that it is still a challenge)and work your way up at a gradual pace.

It is always a good idea to rotate your workouts after 8 to 12 weeks so the Slow and Heavy Series will be a perfect rotation option for you once they are released.
