Lift, Move & Restore 2 Elevated! Heavy Weight Workouts. I usually do not care for split upper body workout, but I did not mind the two in this series. There are a total of four heavy weight workouts in the LMR2 Elevated! series. Three of them are: Upper Body Strength Chest, Triceps & Shoulders   (CTS) Lower Body Strength Upper Body Strength Back, Biceps & Shoulders (BBS) Cathe offers suggested weights in all three of the workouts. Many times, I thought the pace was quite quick for a heavy weight workout. Cathe does tell you to slow down if you find that to be the case. In Chest, Triceps & Shoulders, the shoulder work is focus on the upper and front of the shoulders. In Back, Biceps & Shoulders, the shoulder work was focus on the back. A variety of equipment is used throughout. The Lower Body workout uses the loop boss band.  BBS uses a small loop band and the pull up bar.  All workouts used a ranged of dumbbells. Upper Strength CTS - 3&1/2 stars L...

The Slow & Heavy series is a three day split workout series. The workouts are Slow & Heavy Legs & Shoulders , Slow & Heavy Chest & Back , and Slow & Heavy Triceps & Biceps. . Each workout clocks in around the hour mark with the Legs & Shoulder workout being a little over an hour. . The Chest & Back workouts features plank core work and the Triceps & Bicep workouts features more traditional ab type work. . This is my second time doing these workouts and I have to say I like them much better the second time around. Cathe states in her introduction that these workouts require a lot of focus and should only be done in short durations. I agree. I was starting to loose focus by the end of the workout and certainly by the time I got to workout three which for me was Triceps & Biceps which I did Friday. . Most of the exercises feature 3 sets of 8 reps each. The rep count is an 8 count move with 2 counts done in one direction and 6 counts done ...
