barbell weight in CTX

[susan-lynn]

Hi everyone! Isn't it great that spring's finally here!

Just wondering about the weight that Cathe uses in CTX for barbells. Does the total weight include the bar? Or is the total weight just in the actual weights on the ends of the bar?

Just a side note: The kickboxing in CTX is awesome. I am so sore today, it hurts to move around. But it's a good muscle ache!

I may be wrong, but I believe that in CTX, they use a 5 lb bar, and this weight is included in the weight that she says she is using. I think the bar in MIS is 15 lbs, and the bar in S&H is 10 lbs......always included in the described weight. Any clarification on this?

Thanks,
Sandi M

If you're asking for the total weight of the barbell in CTX, she uses different weights for different tapes. I think she uses 35 lbs for Power Circuit on the circuits and 25 for the back work, for example. I think she uses 30 lbs for the chest barbell in Step and Intervals. I have them all written down at home somewhere. If you like, I can get back on here at home and tell you each tape.

Yes, Sandy!

You are right. The weight of the bar is included in the total weight Cathe uses. This question has been asked before and Cathe responded with that answer. Just thought I'd let you know!!!

Hi - I've only done 2 tapes so far (chest & biceps). I know for the chest & triceps, she says she's using 30 lbs. I'm just wondering if that includes the weight of the bar (I would assume it would - because the bar is a significant part of the weight). Thanks for any clarifications.
