No - I'm eyeballing it. I forget, is that one a slow and heavy workout, or was it something in between - some real heavy, some light/endurance? I remember doing it like once back when I had the OnDemand subscription. And, of course, at that time I had to sub with dumbbells.

I just feel so dang strong doing the Pendlay rows. I was able to try them with my new barbell, too. Something about using the barbell for it made me feel even more powerful. I like the gorilla rows, too. It's been a long time since I've done the STS 2.0 BP Back workout, and I balked at my...

Not sure how far along she is with it, but putting in a request! IF the fourth free download is, in fact, back and biceps, please please squeeze in some Pendlay rows. I just love those things.

Thanks for confirming that she did 11 reps there! It wasn't just me.

Oh, I did it because I wanted to try it, for sure, and will work it into future rotations, just not sure how often at this point. To tackle Back and Bi's (since they were absent in this workout), I'm going to do one of the Back/Bi premixes from STS 2's Body Parts Back & Body Parts Biceps DVD...

Excited to get to do this workout today. I really liked it. Give me heavy weights with slow reps and decent rests, you'll have me easily pleased. :) Most of the sets in this workout consist of 10 reps. She does a few where she reduces it to 6-8 reps, as well, which is appreciated. For example...

To my knowledge, STS 2's total body workouts (Giant Sets, Super Sets, and Tri Sets) are her heaviest total body strength workouts. If you participated in her upcoming Lift, Move & Restore Elevated pre-release, she has a wonderful heavy total body metabolic workout with the bonus downloads. It's...

Oh! I love Muscle Max. Muscle Endurance and Pyramid Pump are great, too. And I also love Travel Fit. Yes, for Muscle Max and Travel Fit, she uses bands - they're worth it and if you get into more and more of her workouts, you'll find she uses them quite a bit, so you'll get your money's worth...

PS - this wraps up my posts about the Strong & Sweaty series - thanks for humoring me. I was considering doing the same with ICE, since I'm also working my way through all of that series as an ICE newbie, but felt it might get a bit eye-roll inducing (Oh - Kelly's posting ANOTHER review of a...

I was pleasantly surprised with this workout. I was low-key dreading its day when it popped up on my rotation, only because I'm used to any Cathe workout with the name "Boot Camp" being really intense. (Looking at you in particular, Intensity Series.) Yes, I did get to panting quite a bit, but...

Thanks for posting this - just a note - her Thumb-to-Thumbs she's using 5 lb weights, not 15. ;)

Oh good - she's still releasing at the beginning of the month. Was starting to worry since they weren't talking it up as much as they did the first two workouts. Yes, I'm sure the next one will be Back & Bis - and maybe she'll tag on some core, too. Not personally a fan of UB split workouts -...

Congratulations and welcome! So happy you gave Cathe a try. I've found over the years that her strength training workouts feel far less intimidating than her cardio workouts, if that's helpful to you at all while choosing which next workout to dip your toe in. If you've got the DVD that has...

Anyone take advantage of the $5 DVD Labor Day offers? She's got 20 titles in the offer. I decided to go ahead and bite - I purchased Ab Circuits, Cardio SuperSets, and FlexTrain.

Confession: This workout popped up in my rotation yesterday. Just couldn't bring myself to do it. I opted for the cardio section of 4-Day Split's Bootcamp workout. That one I actually had fun doing. (Haven't done it in a long, long, time, either, so it was nice to revisit.)

Tackled this workout this morning. Definitely a good sweat. I enjoyed the music with this one. I liked that she didn't go super heavy with the weights given the pace that was kept. Most of the exercises are 12 reps. I found I could go a bit heavier on the off-the-side squats and the cross-back...

@Debinmi oh! Thanks for the suggestion of the 1.25lbers. I didn't even know those existed. Yes, I'm all for being able to micro-load to assist with progressive overload. Thanks everyone for your suggestions on the racks. I have some thinking (and measuring) to do.

Was there supposed to be a link with your post, Linda? I'm not sure I understand what your "version of this" is supposed to be. Thanks everyone for sharing your set ups. Stuff for me to consider.

So having recently acquired Cathe's 60lb barbell set, I'm now in the place of needing to find practical storage for the plates when they're not in use - preferably something with a small footprint. What do you all use? I also purchased a couple more 25lb plates from Dick's this weekend to add...

I'm talking about her usual bonuses included with most of her workouts - not the free separate bonuses she's releasing for the people who purchased the LMRE pre-sale. So in this case with the new series, it would be her cardio bonuses. Yes, I don't have her whole P30 set, except the...
