Excited about starting this. I love the “newness” of each block.

Felt great!  W1 of Blk 8 in the books!💪🏼 loved this work out and glad I saved it for the weekend so I could give all my focus and time!

I love this Glute/Hamstring workout Caroline & it’s efficient

Wow. That was a butt kicker in the sneaky kind of way!

High rep ranges for deadlifts are no joke🫠.

Brace breathing tip made all the difference!

Jennifer

I like this workout.  Nothing fancy, yet effective. 15 reps were just enough today.  I can progress next week with a tad more weight.  Thanks, Caroline!🫶🏼

W2/D1 Quad Focused (RPE 8)

W2/D2 Cardio

Couldn’t bench press today with bar, but got it all done.🙃

W2/D2 Chest, Triceps & Core (RPE 8)

W2/D3 Cardio

I increased weights for almost everything except lateral raises. Tough! 
Can’t believe I am struggling with 10# 😃

A tad weaker on booty machine (barbell hip thrusts) since my quad strain, but I’ll get back strength soon enough.  Also, I’m learning to switch out lifts for a bit more challenge.  So fun!! Thanks for the formats!!🤗

W2/D3 Glutes & Shoulders (RPE 8)

W2/D4 Active Rest Day

Why do I have such a hard time with chin ups all of sudden? 😅
Got it done ✅ anyway

Hard today😭. Tried to talk myself out of most of it, but pushed through so I could check the boxes.

W3/D1 Cardio

Hearing you in my ear while increasing weights is such a help!

I remember the first time doing barbell split squats on the Smith machine & I thought I was going to die.😵‍💫. The bar was heavy, the grip was awkward & I wasn’t too flexible…today I probably could’ve gone heavier by last set.🤭
I’ll bring it up a couple of pounds next week.😤

I didn’t see my notes in the previous logs - are they somewhere else?

So good today!  I haven’t bench pressed the last two weeks because gym has been crazy busy.  Today I could AND had my son spot me & I pressed 65 for 5 reps.😱. Take that stupid pull ups🤨. 😂😂😂

The days you don't want to show up, do it! Went up on weights/reps. So glad I showed up! ❤️

Great!  I loved pushing myself on last sets of 15 to see how much weight I could do!💪🏼
