Enablers' Recommendations for Weight-lifting Series

[Debinmi]

Since there are only 3 days left to purchase dvds (supposedly), what weight-lifting series would you recommend to someone who doesn't have Cathe's full collection? You may choose your top 4 recommendations for series. (The poll system didn't allow for more choices). Please feel free to add your reasoning so a person could make an informed purchase.

For me, STS2.0 provides the most options for Total Body, UB/LB split & the Body- Parts offer many options with the Premixes. Xtrain's undulating rotation gave me great gains without the cumbersome 1RM stuff of STS1.0. Hardcore Gym Styles is classic "bro-splits". Slow & Heavy is just so different than the other styles of lifting.

I'd add Intensity Series Pyramid Upper and Pyramid Lower Body workouts - they're more endurance-based, but those two workouts really kept me in great shape in the pre-STS years.

In order of preference with my two votes, I put

1. STS 2.0
2. XTrain

I don't have a lot of experience just yet with RWH's strength workouts. Nor do I have much experience with most of the other series in the list, except for STS, S&S, and 4DS. Those ones just aren't high on my list of preferred series.

Definitely STS 1 and 2. Slow & Heavy because it is different. Then Strong & Sweaty. I love the Ramped Up Upper Body workout in this series, and PHA and Total Body Giant Sets are good too. If I had a 5th option, I would choose Xtrain. I like the Chest, Back & Shoulders, Bis & Tris, and Burn Sets in this series.
