Cathe Slow & Heavy - Review


Cathe Slow & Heavy series is a 3 workout set. This series works your muscle by doing a 2 count in the negative and a 6 count in the positive. Moving through the workout so slowly and hopefully with control makes these workouts very challenging.
The workouts are:
Slow & Heavy Legs & Shoulders - 66 min
Slow & Heavy Chest & Back - 59 min
Slow & Heavy Triceps & Biceps - 60 min
Slow & Heavy Legs & Shoulders was probably my favorite of the three and in particular the Leg workout. Cathe used pre-exhaust sets in between the Slow & Heavy sets. The Slow & Heavy sets included traditional Squats, Static Lunges, & Plie Squats. The pre-exhaust sets included Front Lunges, Reverse Lunges, and Side Lunges.
The upper body workouts were pretty standard and all the exercises including push ups in Slow & Heavy Chest & Back and dips in Slow & Heavy Triceps & Biceps included the two-six count breakdown. What I notice about these workouts and what Cathe kept pointing out was that you really had to focus. I found it difficult not to rush the six count. In some cases it was because I was at failure but in other cases I just was not concentrating on keeping the move going a the slower pace.
Overall, these were not my favorite strength workouts but they were solid.
3 stars out of 5.
