I've done all of Cathe's DVDs and kept the ones I love (most of them actually), but not this one. I don't know why everyone else likes the Gym Style series so much, maybe because of the catchy title. I find this workout boring and too slow-paced. The music is not worth mentioning. Too many push-ups (72!). Cathe has a lot better stuff than this. I also don't like to spend 50 minutes on just 2 body parts, because I think the time can be used more efficiently.
Gymstyles hits every muscle fiber in your chest and tris - from the opening 72 push-ups in drop sets to the closing tricep kickbacks. Cathe put in a good variety of traditional-proven exercises. Just when you think you can't do another rep - it's time for a bonus burn! I have made tremendous strength gains with the Gymstyles series.
This workout is great! My chest and triceps are shaking after every workout that I can barely lift my arms over my head. I have only used the workout once a week for approximately a month and I already notice strength gains and definitions!
This is a great workout dvd, I have tried alot of her workout dvd's but this is one of her best.
This is another installment in Cathe Friedrich's Gym Style series, here the focus is on Chest and Triceps. This workout clocks in at just under 50 minutes, and is extremely thorough in working these areas. Equipment used in this workout are dumbells, barbell, a step or a bench, and a resistance band.You start with a simple warmup, then you dive right into chest work with drop sets of pushups, 72 to be exact, starting with 16, then 14, then moving down until you get to the last 2 which are done in a 4-4 count. Next you will do several sets of dumbell chest presses and pec flies, first done on a flat surface, then moving into an incline position. Finishing out the chest portion and transitioning into the tricep portion are close grip barbell presses. In the tricep portion you will see tricep dips, lying extensions, seated french presses, cross body extensions which are done with one arm and in a lying position. She also uses a resistance band for these too add a "bonus burn", following this are tricep kickbacks, again adding a bonus set using the band to finish them off. This set has a nice variety of exercises, plus she uses various tempo counts to keep things interesting.
Overall a very complete and thorough workout for the muscle groups represented, this one is bound to really shape up the upper body as the previous reviewers have stated. There are also premixes with shorter options on those time crunched days which is a nice plus. Anyone looking for an upper body challenge will not be disappointed here, 4 and a half stars for this one.
The 4-minute warm-up is followed by chest work of push-ups, dumbbell presses, chest flys, dumbbell incline chest presses, dumbbell incline flys, and barbell close-grip presses. The tricep work consists of dips, dumbbell lying extensions, dumbbell seated extensions, dumbbell cross-body extensions, a bonus "band burn" of cross-body extensions, dumbbell kickbacks, and another bonus "band burn" of kickbacks. The 4-minute stretch feels SO GOOD after all that! You'lll need a full sized step, adjustable barbell, various weighted dumbbells, and a medium tension resistance band to do this workout.
