Yes, I dusted off Firm Vol 6

I was having a day that I just didn't feel like working out. So, I decided to do an oldie but goodie. I thought this was going to be an easy workout. I have had this video since it came out many years ago. and I haven't done my old firms in several years. A day later my upper back is killing me! The only think I can think of is that I did the lat pullups/downs (I'm not sure if this is the correct terminology) with my barbell. I used a 35lb barbell. I just realized that I never see this move in any of Cathe's videos, is this a obsolete exercise? Just curious, or maybe I should add it to my workouts. I don't remember this being a problem when I strictly did the Firm tapes years ago. Help!

I have a collection of Firms and have never used them in a rotation. The past month when I couldn't get my scale to budge, this fitness magazine had an article saying weights was more important that pure cardio, so I bought some protein shakes and decided to commit to 10 FIRM workouts.

I figured that was what the ad said, and what did I have to lose? So 9 Firm videos later and elliptical training 2x/week and I am 10 lbs lighter. I guess they were telling the truth after all!

I didn't even diet. Just stopped eating junk. Had 2 shakes a day and worked out. I used older firms more than the recent ones. I liked : Firm Cardio ( Variety series ), Vol. 4., Vol.5, Max Cardio ( Carissa ), Maximum Cardio ( Allie ) Cardio Burn and the 2 BSS 1 routines.

Goes to show you, don't get rid of your videos.

When I did The Firm Vol. 6, the exact same thing happened to me. Seems to me your arms or back is just not capable of the movement. I've never seen this exercise anywhere else.

That's when I discovered Cathe. However I still do The Firm when I want something less intense, but, I will never do Vol. 6 again, at least not that particular exercise.

Your not alone,

The idea is to die young as late as possible.
