Having just graduated from the Beginner Rotation and now starting to use the other Cathe DVDs that I've accumulated over the last 4 months.. and that's quite a few... lol
I'm trying to decide how I'll know which weights to use on the barbell and which weight dumbbells to use for each DVD that I do.
At first, I thought I would do a spreadsheet for each DVD and write down the exercises in order and then put various columns across the page so that I could write down what weights I use each time I do the DVD.
However.. the more I thought about it, I figured that that wouldn't work because I might do Muscle Max Upper Body premix today and then not do it again for a couple of weeks, so the weights that I used today wouldn't mean much the next time I do Muscle Max.
So now I'm thinking that a better idea would be to list all the exercises in all the DVDs and then write down (in the columns going across) the weights I use for each workout..... because... a lot of the exercises are used over and over again in the various DVDs. There are only so many ways that one can work the triceps or biceps or back or chest or whatever.
i.e. Bicep curls with dumbbells would only be on the list once, even though it's used in many DVDs.
All ideas will be greatly appreciated !!!!
TIA

ETA: I'm using primarily weight lifting DVDs.... like: Muscle Max, Supersets/Push Pull, High Reps, Gym Style series, Pyramid Upper and Lower, Slow and Heavy, STS Total Body, etc.
I do my cardio at the gym and I don't like circuit workouts, so mine are primarily straight weight lifting...
