This video has already been explained well. Just wanted to add my comments so that this video makes it to the Hall of Fame. The whole Pure Strength series is the toughest weight videos yet. I'm so glad that we can work out at home and feel that we get an advanced workout. I know that it's not as tough as a bodybuilder's workout but for my purposes, it suits me fine. I hope Cathe makes another Pure Strength Series II with different exercises because I can tell my body is going to improve tons using this series. The tempo is slower than MIS so I can lift heavier weights. The warm-up is simple so even my husband can do it. He said that he will try MIS with me but he will have to do his own warm-up because he can't do step (even the simple moves in the MIS warm-up). But I don't think he'll have any problems with the Pure Strength warm-ups (I just need to get him to do it). The time goes by so fast with this tape but I know that I got a good workout. I like the shoulder section the best because it has the most unique moves. I like both the Arnold Press & the Clean & Press. I also like the reverse flys done with the palms facing back & done in a V. The one good thing in this tape is that I can actually do the triceps dips using the same amount of weights as the chest presses. For MIS, I lower the weights after I do the back work. So I don't lift as heavy for my shoulder, biceps, & triceps. In fact, by the time we get to the triceps section, I really have to lower the barbell weight. Then I don't have time to add more weight for the dips section. Since we don't use the barbell for the shoulders or other triceps work, I don't have this problem in Pure Strength. Plus I stay pretty heavy in the triceps work anyway because they don't seem as tired. I think it's because the upper body work is broken down. Overall, this is a well planned series of tapes.

Instructor Comments:
Cathe is great as usual. I'm so glad that she sticks to advanced videos. I hope she keeps them coming.
