Happy Birthday, Marla! Perhaps all Road Trippers should share a "Happy Birthday" drink with Marla in a few weeks. :D I wish you the best day today, Marla! Have a great one. :)

I think in many of the workouts their bar is 5 pounds -- so is mine, and I always count it. If I'm lifting it, I'm counting it. :D

Hi Cathe, I was considering making myself a rotation where I do a different workout each week for each body part, rather than doing the same workout for 3 weeks and then switching (i.e., doing a Slow Heavy rotation for 3 weeks, then switching). For example: Chest ever Monday -- 1st...

Hi Christi -- I livein Michigan, too. :)

Me and my skinny upper body want so badly to be able to complete a substantial set of "real" pushups. So, so badly.

Is there (or can we have posted) a list of the Road Trip Attendees? I'd love to see a list of all those I get to workout with next month. :D

Fab40, Are you suggesting that because I lent her my DVD that I'm responsible for her copying it? I totally disagree. And it is a big deal. You're right, I did loan it to her ... so she could TRY it, not so she could COPY it. It was inconsiderate and wrong of her to use my DVD to bootleg...

Shelley -- wow, I definitely have a sense of your loss. It IS like that. I'm glad you wrote that -- that alone might let a little of it break away from you and lift you up. Just putting things into words seems to help. There is no such thing as a timetable for grief. I hate that that pressure...

Thanks, Shelley. :) You're going too, aren't you?

Cool, Jes! I can't wait to meet you (and Marla, too) in person! About my Cathe DVD: It was hanging in a bag (also in a ziploc) with a note on my front door this morning. She thanked me for lending it to her and told me she orderd her own and it will arrive next week. Sigh. I hope so...

Marla and lisaannjam, I'm with you. I am so sick of Tom Cruise. I also think something isn't quite right with him. Here's is lineup: Mimi Rogers, Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruise, Katie Holmes. They get progressively younger (Mimi's actually older than Tom). He's really an @ss in my book.

Trust me I won't make that mistake twice. This is a person I would never, ever have suspected of doing this. Unbelievable.

Never heard of it. What's it about? I also want to know if you're going to the Road Trip, Jes. Are ya?

No! She doesn't even have it at her house! She actually gave it to someone else to copy. I am speechless (except for my rant, of course). Jes -- are you going on the Road Trip?

So I've been helping my neighbor get motivated to workout and invited her to workout with me. She came over and I went through proper form and fundamentals of weight training with dumbbells. Fine. Then I lent her one of my Cathe DVDs (Supersets and Push Pull) so she could "meet" Cathe and...

Sabine -- thanks for such a thorough explanation. I do have another question. Now that I understand the format of PS I'm interested to know how this contributes to physical fitness as compared to the Pyramids or Slow & Heavy. I know it's beneficial to switch up my training program regularly --...

I'm considering buying the Pure Strength series on DVD and I'm wondering how it compares to Slow & Heavy, and Pyramid Upper/Lower (I have both of those DVDs). Can you please tell me what you think and how they compare? Thanks!

Here are some of my favorites: Pendulum across the board Up-and-back L step A step (I know boring, but I think they're so fun!) Power 15's (or whatever number) Imax 2: the 3-count blast side-to-side across the board (name?) Richochet Power squat (turning) Sculpt 7 Over facing over...

Wow. I am so looking forward to this trip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
