I'm a big Cathe fan but am really only now getting serious about weights. I have the XTRAIN DVDs and some singles (e.g. High Reps, Lower Body Blast, etc.) but am now wondering about her other series. So I have two questions:
1. How different are heavy weights/strength videos? Overall, does one really need multiple versions of a program (e.g. is it worth collecting multiple workouts for the same muscle groups or are the exercises going to be pretty similar across the board)?
2. How do the weights workouts in her various series (e.g., XTRAIN, Gym Style/Hardore, Pure Strength, STS) compare? I am very tempted by both the Gym Style and Pure Strength but really don't know if there is a huge difference among the series.
Okay, I have a third question! I don't have a barbell--only dumbells. Is it always okay to substitute or do barbells really offer something special?
Advice please!!! Thanks!!
