new slow & heavy....how heavy?

[ClareAmelia]

I know that the weight used in any video is according to your own fitness/goals. BUT, in some of your videos, you use (for instance) a barbell w/35 lbs. for leg work. How heavy do you go in this series? In barbell weight and dumbbells?...just the average wt used?

Good question... Several people noted on another thread that the a photo from the Slow & Heavy series showed Cathe holding a 40-lb weight. (That's heavier than anything I own!) I also noticed that everyone is wearing weight gloves in a couple of the other photos from this series--which implies serious weight!

I think Cathe mentioned using a 50 lb barbell for the leg section. So, I know I have to get at least a 35 pound dumbbell to put my plate mates on and bring it up to 40 lb. I always have to match Cathe pound for pound, 'cause she'll such a little thing, and I always have to do at LEAST that much 'cause I'm considerably bigger!;-)
