I do the workout in one of two ways: one is with longer breaks between sets, to work more on strength, the other is as-is (which I do less often) to work on endurance.
When I do it in 'strength' mode, I change up weights between chest flyes and presses, since presses are a compound exercise that can use more weight.
Last time I did it in that 'mode,' I used the following weights:
chest: (flyes) 15/20/25; (presses) 20/25/27.5
back (which I think Cathe goes too light on, especially compared to chest, since back is larger): pullovers 27.5/30/32.5; double-arm rows: 20/25/30
shoulders: 7/8/10 (but I do an overhead press instead of an anterior raise, and use 10/12/15 for that)
triceps (I do lying extensions instead of kickbacks, at 8/10/12); French press: 25/30/32.5 (dumbbell not held the way Cathe does, because I have small hands, and can't hold anything over about 20# that way without it feeling unsafe)
Biceps: 10/12/15
When I did the workout as-is (for endurance), I used the following weights:
chest: 12/15/20
back: 12/15/20
shoulders: 5/7/8
triceps: (lying extensions) 8/10/12; French press: 12/15/20
biceps:8/10/12
