barbells needed

[Kimenem]

I just got Muscle Max and have 2 questions.

1. How does everyone like this workout?

2. Where can I get a good padded, easy to use, barbell set?

THANKS

I do not know about where to purchase a padded barbell set, but I have always LOVED the MM workout.

MM wasn't an automatic favorite for me--I think b/c when I first bought it, I wasn't as fit and found it tough -- but after a few workouts, it grew on me, and now I do like it a lot.

I bought my barbell set at Sports Authority and purchased the pad separately.

Hello Kim.
Muscle Max is one of my favourites and one of my first ones purchased of Cathe. It's a good compliment to the rest of the Hardcore series.
Sorry, no idea on where to get one of those padded barbells. I would think Amazon or even walmart.com might have those. I have a padded weighted body bar but the pad came seperate.
How many other Cathe DVD's do you own?

Have fun!

Muscle Max is the first one I bought...just got it yesterday. I have all of the Turbo Jam workouts, including the new ones with the ball, and will use those for my cardio. I also supplement with Pilates 3x per week at night, with the other workouts being done in the AM. Some of Cathe's other workouts look fun to me but I'm finding it hard to stray away from TJ because I really like Chalene and her energy. I just wanted to find a good weight lifting dvd for 2 days per week.

1. I enjoy Muscle Max.
2. Padded Bar Bells can be found at Walmart, they are made by Danskin or on line at Power Sports, they also have a catalogue. Ebay might have them as well. Annette

Hi Kim,

You should look on the fitness1st.com website. I just purchased my Troy Lite barbell set from them, it's the one that Cathe uses. It was about $70 with shipping for the 40 lb. set. They are very nice there and they really work with you. Their # is 1-800-421-1791

Good Luck,
Nicole

The Ivanko padded barbell can be purchased from Ivanko online. The standard metal plates from Wal-Mart fit it just fine.

Here's the link!

Just a heads up. I bought a barbell set at Sports Authority (when it was Sports Mart).

It is very helpful to have the quick releases for Cathe videos and my barbell ended up to be a 3/4" where all the quick releases are 1".

I had to wrap copper wire around the clamps to make them a bit smaller so I could make the quick weight changes.

Happy shopping - a barbell works so much better than dumbells for many exercises.

Thanks so much for all of the suggestions. I think I found some that I like and will hopefulyy get them in time for my first MM workout.
