Hi I recently posted a message asking if ctx upper body was classed as an endurance exercise video. Thank-you for the replies - it turns out that it is. I struggle with endurance videos because I find it hard to increase the weights. For example, I do CTX upper body and find it reasonably...

Hello I wanted to buy an endurance workout for the upper body. However, I already own CTX upper body and like it alot. Does this classify as an endurance workout as it does not really use heavy weights and there are lots of reps or should I get a dvd like muscle endurance. Its nice to have...

Hello I generally read on fitness websites that using a low weight for many repetitions is good for muscle definition and using a higher weight for less reps is good for building muscle. I (sort of) know that, logically, this cannot be true because you cannot shape a muscle as such - all a...

Hello I have just got the gym style upper body workouts and was after some advice. How do you guys alternate them? Is it ok to do gs back, biceps and shoulders the day after gs chest or are your shoulders fatigued by the chest work? Thanks Andrea

Hello I have just received my gym style workouts (chest and back ones) - yippee - and I can't wait to get started. Just a few questions for those of you who have done them... Are they are ok to do on consecutive days or does the chest work fatigue the shoulders too much? Does it...

Hello I have just done PUB for the first time. It was not what I expected!!! I expected to use much heavier weights and have longer between sets. I have a few questions... One of the problems I had with the video is that I cannot use the same weight for the exercises in the superset...

Hello I have what is probably a very stupid question about barbells which I would rather ask here to spare my embarassment in a shop :) I have a barbell set with spinlock collars. Naturally it is a real pain to change the weights. I was wondering if I could buy a pair of spring release...

Hello I was wondering if you would be able to give me some advice on problems I am having with two exercises. Firstly in the lying extensions in S&H my elbow on my left arm often locks up half way up so I cannot straigten my arm. I have to quickly leave the exercise and straighten my arm...
