    ctx upper - how many times a week?

    I just ordered ctx upper body, I like to work upper body three times a week. Would you suggest MIS, Power Hour and CTX upper, or should I do the new tape two times a week with Power Hour on the other day? Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Shoulder Presses

    Why is it important when doing shoulder presses to keep the barbell in front of you instead of overhead? What happens if on the last few reps the barbell is going overhead instead of to the front? Thanks.

    Power Hour Triceps

    Does anybody else have to go light on these exercises. I find that I have trouble with 8lb dumbells and can only complete the song with five. If I use a barbell I lose my form. Maybe that is just my weak spot, and I will have to work those extra.
