I'm looking for a strength dvd or set of strength dvds with a heavy weight, slow controlled and low rep syle. Not sure if Cathe has anything like this? It seems most of her stuff is focused on endurance vs. strength?

Any recommendations are welcome and appreciated!

She has a weight series called Slow and Heavy. That's what you want. Also STS mesocycle 3 is slow and very heavy.

Ooh, yes! I forgot to mention those! Those are both heavy and controlled, and some of my faves.

Another vote for all of the above. Good luck choosing--I love them all!!!! Some don't like Slow and Heavy because it is so slow, but that's what I really like about it.

Pure Strength also goes heavy. It's the oldest, but it has some different twists on the exercises.

I like 4DS because the premixes are stellar, really short and get in deep with the muscles.

Did you pre-order the TWO new workouts? If so, you can use the 30% coupon towards your next purchase so I say go with STS MesoCycle 3 which is very heavy! There are 12 workouts included. Here's a link which includes video footage of the workout if you'd like to check it out:

I got S&H and I did the T&B workout yesterday for the first time and wow I really loved it. Is Meso 3 similar in terms of the slower pace and heavy weights? If so I wonder if I can reuse that coupon code again to get the 30% off....

Yes, meso three is slow and heavy, but WAY heavier than Slow and Heavy and a the pace is quicker. You're lifting about 85-90% of your one rep max. You still get the 60 seconds rest between sets, and sometimes a little more.
