Busting Plateaus
Cathe's Slow & Heavy series has moved us well beyond her Pure
Strength series by focusing on slow repetitions and heavy weights.
These exercises will take you all the way to fatigue, thus helping
to build lean muscles and break through annoying plateaus. This
3-set series include Legs & Shoulders, Chest & Back and Triceps
& Biceps, so you get a 3-day split that covers your entire
body. You won't see a lot of new moves here; most are classics done with barbells and dumbbells, slowed to an 8-count format with
plenty of rest between sets. You'll need an adjustable
barbell, various weighted dumbbells and a weight bench or step for these
workouts. The slow and concentrated exercises help eliminate
momentum (i.e., cheating) for maximum muscle fiber recruitment. Cathe
cautions that this is a very advanced workout, so be warned! | |
