Slow and Heavy Series - info please....thank you

[icklemoley]

I am thinking of getting the slow and heavy upper body series, chest back and tris and bis, was wondering if anyone can tell me what these are like? Are they good? Hard? What is the rep count? Ie lifting speed on the way up and down? Is is challenging? Thanks for the info.

Hi! S&H is my favorite Cathe weight series! It is hard but I get the best results from it. It is a very slow count,for the most part 2 up, 6 down or vice versa. She has you stand at a slight angle so you eliminated any momentum that might be assisting you with the weights. It is all done with dumbells (the arms anyway). Its a very different feel though, sometimes I don't even sweat but BOY do you get a workout. You have to concentrate a lot and she only recommends you do them for short rotations, 3-4 weeks. I do S&H every few months and ALWAYS immediately feel a difference in my core region, and it always gets me through strength plateaus.
