Push/Pull and Supersets

[junemom]

I have both of these coming up in the next few days in my rotation, (haven't done either yet!!) and I'm wondering if anyone could tell me what weights cathe and the crew use for the various exercises? maybe listing each and every weight is a bit much-but just wonderin, for instance, on supersets: do they use a 35 lb barbell, 40 lb? lighter, heavier?

and, on push pull, similarily: what kinds of dumbells should I get out ahead of time?

any tips, suggestions, or info appreciated!!

I love them both but she switches around a lot no way I could recite them from memory. I'd recommend just FF thru it tonight and lay it all out. Good luck and enjoy!

Thanks for posting this Carol! I previewed the DVD's and was going to watch it again to get the exercises and weights (did that for TS5). Haven't done the DVD's yet, but will be incorporating them in a week or two. Thanks again and have a great day!

Wow! Thanks, carol! I've actually done both workouts now, Supersets this morning, and Push Pull on Sunday. I love that she goes slow with the reps, so you can go really heavy.

Maybe someone can answer this question: why, in supersets, does she refer to the exercises as Group a round one, then group B round one...when it seems to me that the first and second superset are working the same sets of muscles, then the thrid and fourth superset work a slightly different set of muscles (ie this would seem to me to be group a, group a, group b, group b)...is there something I'm not getting?

I believe they're catagorized this way because you're working the same muscles, but in different ways, and using different equipment each time you work them. Maybe someone else has a different take on this?
