My DH couldn't do it!

Those nasty biceps curls from muscle endurance that is!!!! I love him beyond words and he doesn't work out, but he's no slouch. But I know he thinks that these video workouts aren't really working out.

And every flippin time I do ME or Viper those biceps curls KILL ME!! But I do them - with 20 pounds, and I refuse to give in. (Yes I'm ready to kick the TV when Cathe throws in that wicked cackle!) But I feel like the ultimate weenie! So today I asked him to warm up his biceps and give me 3 minutes of his time. I had the bar set at 20 pounds and he started out like they were nothing. BUT THEN HE STOPPED! He asked "what do you want me to do?" and I said "just do what she tells you and what she does". Could not do it. I feel redemption and validation, and a little bit of new found respect. Thank you Cathe - though I'm sure they'll kill me the next time too.
 
Man oh man...I bow down to anyone who can do that segment straight through with a 20 pound dumbbell! WOW!!! My best is 2 10 pound dumbbells...I know it still equals 20 pounds but the bar is harder for me for some reason...I always have to lighten my load...particularly for ME biceps!!! KILLER!!!!!!!
 
I too bow down....those ME bicep curls are just excrutiating! I have been known to shriek in frustration while trying to complete the last few reps.

I would love for my husband to try it. First time I did ME I was literally moaning by the end of the biceps. Who comes wandering into the workout area but my husband, sipping his morning coffee. "Everything okay?" he says. "Killer...killer," I pant. "Oh c'mon, honey, couple more reps and I'll let you have a sip of my coffee," he says. I wanted to throw a weight on his foot! }(

Wow! He has *just* agreed to do ME with me tomorrow!! Now *that* is going to be fun.

Wow, L Sass - way to go! I've often felt like throwing the dumbbell at the TV when she does that evil cackle in ME but I've never done 20s! The highest I've done is 10 and I'm screamin'! That's so cool that your DH couldn't get through it! You KNOW you'll have to hold this above his head, right?!? "Here, honey, let me open that jar for you - you look like you're struggling with it!" LOL!!! :7 :7 :7

I agree with Sarah. I bow down to you. 20 lbs! I use 10's for that one, too. Yes, that evil laugh always gets me. I haven't done that one in awhile. I'm trying to stick with the June rotation right now. Maybe after. I really like that one.

You definitely have to hang that one over his head!}(

LOL!!
I love that story!
I got DH with Boot camp. He thinks my video workouts are Jane fonda'ish LOL
. I challenged him to boot camp about two months ago, and he caved at about the fourth circuit. He jumped on the spin bike and made some lame excuse that he likes to bike better, but i knew from his heavy breathing, it had kicked his butt.

I challenged him to p90x chest and back, and he previewed some with me and never got back to me. I think the preview alone was enough to make him appreciate the work out. LOL:) :) ;)
 
My SO does barbell curls with about 70 lbs on the bar, so I know he'd have no problem with the bicep curls in ME. BUT - he wouldn't last 5 minutes with Cathe's cardio (or any cardio - he's a weight freak but his cardio is the pits!).

In fact, he told me on the weekend that he's nervous about going rollerblading with me because I'll skate circles around him}(
 
I am bowing down to you my wicked bicep lady...damn 20 lbs with ME bicep curls...wahoooooooo!! You are the woman, you are the woman!! You go sister!!! incredible!!!! Cathe is great isn't she!!!! People that don't know her workouts, just don't get it...

My brother was coming over and working out with me for a while and one day I decided to add on the standing premix of Legs&Glutes..and while we were doing lunges with 40 lb barbells..my brother looked over at me and said.."Damn...Cathe is one tough woman...damn she is killing me"..I just laughed!!!!

Bask in your sweet redemption, and validation..you deserve it girl!!

"He asked "what do you want me to do?"


That is pretty funny! :) When I make BF do things that he can't he will either give me the "That's not hard!" (but yet he already stopped...) or "This is stupid!" or "What do you want me to do?" (as if there is this big imposing request at hand) :eek:

Yes, I know what you mean. My DD boyfriend tried that segment just 2 days ago as he was in the mood to workout and wanted to try with 35lbs. Obviously, that didn't go too well. He dropped down to 25 like I did and couldn't finish it. I do it with the 25lb barbell..no weights are needed. LOL. I finished it, but I left my body to do it. LOL
