Cathe Pyramid - old vs new?

I know Cathe's older Pyramid dvd used to get a lot of recommendations here. I recently bought the newer Pyramid (bonus? Pump? Can't remember the full name).

Can anyone compare the two? Is it worth buying the older if I have the newer?

I'd like to hear a comparison as well. I have the old one. I was disappointed at first because she goes very quickly. I got used to it, but would prefer a bit slower lifting.

So, if anyone has both, could you compare the lifting speed?

The newer One, Pyramid Pump, goes at a slower pace - not slow, but slower than the original. If you’re used to lifting weights, you also have to be prepared to use much heavier weights than Cathe and crew. I prefer the original as I find it more challenging and has more of a cardio affect, although pausing to change weights is annoying.

Thanks for the info!

Thanks desderata !

Sounds like I should start with the new one and work up to the older one later. At this point, slower is better!

I like the music better in the older one but do appreciate the slower pace in the newer.

I agree, I also like the fact that I can match Cathe's weights in the newer. Coincidentally they are the same weights as I use in the older too, which is about half of what she uses in that workout.

I like both though, I never do in their entirely though, just use the premixes.
