What is the difference??

Hi ladies!! My question is what's the difference between Power Hour and MIS? I went to Cathe's home page to read up on MIS(I already have PH) and to me it reads almost but not quite the same. Is it worth my while to get MIS since I already have PH? Thanks for any input! Susan

MIS is more strength oriented and PH is more endurance oriented. Cathe uses a 35 lb. barbell for every single body part in MIS (legs, chest, back, shoulders, bis and tris). Ans as you know, in PH she uses 15 lbs for bis or 25 for tris, etc. MIS is a good workout and can be easily split so you can do upper body one day and lower body the next. I use MIS when I'm doing a Pure Strength rotation and want to get an addition weight workout later in the week. Cathe posted a rotation once where you do PH 2x's per week and MIS 1x a week for 4 weeks, then you do PH 1x and MIS 2x's for 4 weeks. That is tough! I am always of the opinion that the more variety in your weight work, the better, but that is just me. Hope this helped. Have fun!
