Ripped With Hiit/Any Variations

Hello Ladies,
I just started Ripped With Hiit the two month rotation. I'm used to working my legs out with weights at least 2 days a week, did any of you vary the schedule a bit and how were your results? If not and you did the 2 month rotation exactly as is, how was your results? Actually, I'm trying to build the shoulders up as well so I usually hit those twice a week.

Thanks
 
I actually built my shoulders when I did the Low Impact Series. This wasn't my goal necessarily, but it just happened! The shoulders are worked frequently due to alot of compound moves in this series. Legs are always a work in progress for me no matter what the series., but for me I slim my legs better with more unweighted work and less plyo so I modify workouts accordingly as far as that goes. LIS was better for my legs in that respect as well. I know you asked specifically about RWH, but wanted to pass along my experience with LIS. I only made it through one month of RWH due to fatigue. I resumed it later, but had to modify it a bit. RWH is tough! Depending on your 1 month RWH results you may want to consider the RWH/LIS rotation the second month. Everyone is different though. Good Luck!

Thanks, I don't have the Low Impact Series but maybe I should check into that, my shoulders need building up, well my arms in general and like I said I do like to work my legs twice a week atleast so a mix of the two may be a great idea.
 
I should add that I didn't do all of the LIS dvds. I had Athletic Training, Afterburn, Cardio Supersets, and Turbo Barre. I subbed in other workouts for the other LIS workouts.
 
Yep! I eventually bought Total Body Trisets, but ended up not finding it as enjoyable as other Cathe weight workouts. I never bought the other workouts from the set.

For the purpose of what you are striving to achieve 2x per week is the best safe action to take. I would suggest volume and loading
strategy to build shoulders. So giant sets, superset, pyramid. Ripped with Hiit series can help achieving it. Those finishers are
great. :)

Here below is a free workout from Nicole Wilkins. I think it is great. I love working with Band and I need it now that I am
building back up and rehabilitating at the same time. So I need to modify depending on how my shoulder respond on daily basis.
That said the program is suitable/appropriate for muscle building. ;)

What you will need:

*Light/medium resistance band

*Dumbbells

3x 15 of each exercise unless otherwise indicated.
Rest 45sec between each superset.

Superset:

  • Dumbbell shoulder press
  • Resistance band shoulder press 30sec
Superset:

  • Standing dumbbell lateral raise
  • Resistance band lateral raise 30sec
Superset:

  • Dumbbell front raises with thumb toward ceiling
  • Resistance band front raises 30sec
Superset:

  • Dumbbell upright row
  • Arnold presses with dumbbell
Superset:

  • Bent over rear delt fly
  • Rear delt fly with resistance band 30sec
STRETCH :)

Thank you for the shoulder building tips and the exercises. You know a lot about weights and the body so I'm sure your shoulder will be better in a very short time

@Ivy if you have access to gym, add in machine exercises, at least for the shoulder.
You will increase the chance of gaining a prompt response;);). Be patient, you are in a good path.
Have fun:)
