Gym Style

[martijean1]

Are any of Cathe's older weight tapes similar to the Gym Style series? I keep hearing rave reviews about it, but want the entire series (go figure) and really shouldn't spend the money on it righ now!

I've got
CTX (series)
Body Blast (series)
Pure Strength (all 3)
S and H (all 3)

Which is closest???
Thanks!

I guess Pure Strength is the closest that you have to the Gym Styles, if I had to pick from your list. They are both three day splits, but the Gym Styles use the band while PS doesn't. I think the PS segments are a bit shorter than GS, if I am remembering correctly. You should definitely get GS when you are able. Slow & Heavy is also a three day split, but so very different from PS and GS.

The entire series is on my Christmas list (in DVD form, of course!!)...It's only 2 months away!! I'll be getting PS in the mail early next week from the sale Cathe just had...

Thanks!

PS is a great series and is the closest you can get to the Gym Styles. However, the Gym Styles also incorporate some slow and heavy sets, which remind me of the S&H series. For leg work though, GS-Legs uses lighter weights in most of the exercises than in PS-Legs. GS-Legs also has great floorwork. I'm currently alternating both series and am slowly upping my weights in the process. Enjoy!
