Time graph for Cathe's Gym Style - Back, Shoulders & Biceps
An ultra-challenging, truly “gym style” workout. This program works each muscle group in sequence: back, shoulders, biceps. It’s all carefully designed to totally fatigue each entire muscle (e.g. there’s even a separate routine for the top and bottom of the bicep muscle). Cathe’s clear cuing is “gym style” too. There’s no fluff — she’s there to instruct, encourage and motivate you with her superb technique and amazing stamina. Requires barbells, a stability ball, a 6-foot Dyna-Band, several sets of dumbbells and a step (usually used as a weight bench). The DVD “premix” feature lets you play shorter “timesaver” versions of the full workout. ©2005. DVD has: 2 premixes (35 to 36-min. alternate workouts), Chapter menus.

Cathe's Gym Style - Back, Shoulders & Biceps

wow
i love this women she is awsome. you can not beat her. keep going cath. oh yeah. - posted by carol on 8/9/2008
I Am Cut!
I do this workout once per week, and for the first time in my life, I have some serious muscle definition. It's my first time using a Dynaband, and that thing really gives a good workout. I love Cathe because she challenges and really motivates me to exercise. So far, I have about 10 of her workouts. If you want to see some results from your weight-training, I highly recommend this workout, along with its companion dvd, Gym Style DVD-Chest and Triceps. - posted by Moe on 5/29/2008
Fantastic Workout!
I am truly a Cathe fan. She is awesome and I have been collecting her videos over the last several months. Back, shoulders, and biceps is a awesome workout. Gym-quality, fun and effective. I just cannot get enough of Cathe. I have already seen results after 3-4 times using this video. The dyna-band is definitely worth getting as it provides a burn one cannot get using weights. Another 2 thumbs up! - posted by KB on 5/27/2008
Excellent plateau-buster
After having a second child getting into the gym was almost impossible, so the Gym Style series seemed the way to go. Not only did it beat my gym workouts (with a trainer no less) but it helped me break through my training plateau. Cathe keeps a steady pace - not rushing form, but not dragging thru reps either. Supersets predominate: Cathe takes each msl group to exhaustion with a couple sets of 3 or more different exercises (plus a 'burner') then moves on to the next. Really digs in and challenges the msls. Excellent series! - posted by Kris on 1/29/2008
Still a Hit!
Cathe's gym-style series is awesome! I generally do the gym-style back, shoulders and biceps dvd at least twice per week. I set the entire series aside temporarily to welcome/workout on Cathe's 4-day split series. I was more than slightly fulfilled with the 4-day split series; therefore, I went back to the gym-style series, which is a total "5" star in my book (I hope that was not confusing). Oh well, it's back to the gym style series, and I can say that the gym-style back, shoulders and biceps have really shaped and defined my upper body. Who says that you can't go home again. Admittedly, Cathe is still the greatest! We'll see what 2008 will bring. - posted by Mercedes on 12/4/2007
Fantastic Weight Training Workout
Cathe thoroughly hits the back, shoulders and biceps in just under an hour. This workout is fantastic and it works. You will see the differences in your body after just a couple of sessions of this DVD, especially if you also use Cathe's Gym Style Chest and Triceps in your rotation.Awesome! - posted by Adam on 11/2/2007
Great Workout DVD!
I did the Gym Styles Back, Shoulders and Biceps workout yesterday, and just like the day after the Chest and Triceps workout, I am "feeling it" today. I consider myself an advanced-level exerciser, having worked out with Cathe for years. But with this workout, Cathe has raised the bar even higher. My muscles have NEVER worked this hard. I was doing well to lift half (or a little more) of what she was lifting. I don't like "band" work, but I didn't mind doing it with this workout. I highly recommend this workout along with the companion dvd, Chest and Triceps. - posted by Moe on 10/26/2007
Great workout
Awesome workout. I have never had toned arms like I do now and it's because of Cathe. I have all of her videos and just love her do death. She knows how to work you and this will make you burn and tone you. - posted by Laci on 10/9/2007
Excellent!!
A great upper body workout. You will feel sore the next day. I workout everyday and lift heavy weights and I was challenged by this dvd. No need to try anyone other than Cathe if you are serious about sculpting your body. - posted by Sandra on 7/25/2007
Magnificent Upper Body!
Cathe is dedicated to her craft, and she works you like none other that I know (except Gin Miller). Your biceps, shoulders and back will be chiseled if you incorporate this upper body dvd 2-3 times per week into your exercise routine. - posted by Jillian on 7/3/2007

Reading a Time Graph
X
Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.
