Question about weights used in Muscle Endurance

[chloesmom]

Hello everyone,
Hope your having a good day. The sun is shining here in NYC. I was looking for a thread showing the weights used by Cathe in Muscle Endurance. I am planning to do it for the first time and figured I'd check here before I go through the whole thingto preview for myself.

Hi there,

Cathe uses both a barbell and dumbbells weights in the video. The barbell weight ranges from 25-40 pounds, depending on body part, and is used for a majority of the exercises. The dumbbells range from 8-15 pounds and are not used as much. She also uses a 10 lb. plate held in the arms for the tall box step ups. I can do the whole work out with my dumbbells b/c I don't have a barbell yet.

Joy, What excellent records you are keeping!! I always mean to do that however I never get around to it. Seeing this information written down is very helpful. Thanks for sharing!

Why thanks. This has sort of evolved for me over time. I started putting weight workouts on an excel spreadsheet and left columns for me to fill in what I have been using. The last time I decided to put the weight that Cathe uses in the description column. They aren't all perfect but they work pretty well for me.
