I like this video and it is in my regular rotation...right now I also use Cory's tape and MIS and I have to admit I do like those ones better...but Upper Body is a solid workout...it's a good length because you can always tack on a cardio activity beforehand or do it on a day you're short for time...

The video recommends using 3 different pound weights though I just use 2...I do plan on buying another, heavier, set soon though...a tall box is also used though if you don't have one you can modify...and a board is used during chest flies...I personally don't use one...

The other reviews mentioned the rarity of bicep exercises...since I do MIS and Cory's tape this doesn't bother me but it would be easy to just substitute a set of lat rows with bicep curls...

Overall I give this tape an A- and definitely recommend it...

Instructor Comments:
This video is a "collage" of upper body work from the Firm's Volumes 1-4 and 6...All of the instructors are fine though Janet Jones-Gretzky's voice bothers me at times...Susan Harris, with her "sexy" cues, amuses me though...I know she does get on other VFers nerves...But overall the instructors are good/decent cuers and pleasant...
