I've been a running and video addict since 1985. I've been doing a lot of Firm Videos and some Cathe's over the last two years (Cathe MIS and Power Hour but not PS or that other muscle builder, Slow and Heavy?). Recently, I decided to go for it with seriously heavy gym weight training and I've been forcing myself to not do too many videos or run too much because I want to gain strength. My strength improvements in my legs over the past month have been amazing. I've been pyramiding leg presses (up to 210 pounds, 6 reps today) and doing 3 sets of squats at 50 pounds. Since I am normally a weak-legged person, I think I am now actually up to normal!!!! All at the cost of the mental health benefits, thrills, and excitment of doing a lot of videos and running. I haven't decided if the trade-off, physical strenghth versus mental health, is worth it or not. I miss my Firms and my running.
