I do really like this tape, it is one of my favorite Firms. It is very lower body intensive, but there is upper body work as well. If you feel that you don't get enough tall box work in your other tapes, this one is for you.

The only complaints I have are the fact that she has you doing military presses with the same weight you do squats with. I can squat much more then then I can press with. Since there is so much more leg work in the tape, I don't try to stop the tape and switch, but instead I just use a lighter weight and consider the squats warm up sets for legs. My other complaint is that the chest work is at the end. It just felt like an afterthought. Like others have said, there are no abs in this tape, but that didn't bother me. I'm not a big fan of the Firm's ab work, so it was just as easy to abs from something else or on my own.
