I like to know the weights Cathe uses as a gauge of what I will start with and also something to work towards. She doesn't always give her weights in the Pure Strength series though and I'm starting a new rotation using the series next week. Anyone ever taken the time to figure it out?? This is what I've found online but I've found differing numbers so I don't know what is accurate.

I know for a fact that she gives some of her weights in Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps. I thought that she gave all of her weights, but I guess I was wrong. I'll have to watch or do it again and write down the weights she uses to see if what I have matches what you have.
