This is a very thorough tough weight only video. Cathe really gets the muscles to failure. The chest work is tough( not as many pushups as Body Max though). She starts off with 2 sets of pushups and goes into some really tough sets of Chest presses. I didn't like how you have to stop the video to up the weights on your barbell. SO I just use my dumbells for the first set and then get my heavy barbell for the rest. Then she does some chest flies and then combo of chest flies and presses. My chest is really quivering at this point. She also changes the angle of the step. Just doing this tape 3 times so far has made me much stronger in my chest. The shoulder work is very thorough as well. She just keeps adding different exercises to bring the shoulder muscles to fatigue. The triceps section is my favorite since the triceps are my trouble spot so it's important to me to work them hard. For once there are no kickbacks! Yay! I hatem'~ Instead she does this cross body kickback which is much more desirable to me. But after the 1st set, and into my second set, my arm stops working! IT just won't push the weight up. I feel like a dork. Like my brain is not working or I should say my ARM is not working. I'm definately at failure. Then to make matters worse( all in fun here), Cathe does one more set of lying down French press exercise. I can't even do it. I had to go down in weights( 6lbs). This workout has my triceps sore for 2 DAYS! Very effective. Time just flies with this tape. I usually do a cardio workout and then tack this tape on at the end. I love the upbeat music. It is much better music than Maximum Intensity Strength. This workout is much tougher then her Bodymax weight section. I highly recommend this tape if you want to really see muscles in the Chest, Shoulders and triceps. Another winner by Cathe Friedrich.

Instructor Comments:
Perfect form and excellent cueing. You couldn't get more from a personal trainer. It's like Cathe is right there in your living room. She is also pumping right with you and feeling every last rep like you. Cathe has an incredibly fit-muscular healthy body.
