Caroline

W1/D1 Push

Felt it 🥵I only started gym about a month ago and could only lift a small 2kg. Due to living an unhealthy lifestyle for years I was serverly underweight, no energy. I have now started bicep curling 7.5 now now a stupid baby 2kg. I am so happy with my progress and can’t wait to continue with this program. Xx

Today is one of those days where I just didn’t feel like it to be honest. I got here and did the work. I pushed myself when I didn’t want to stop. I enjoyed it. Even my shirt says it all…. The gym is my psych ward. So true.

Can’t believe how strength is improving!

Loved starting the week with this workout 💯

W6/D1 Push 2

Increased weight in at least one rep for 5/6 sets. Feeling proud of the improvement in less than 6 weeks.

10/10…after doing your workouts, I was finally able to do a strict pull-up, so stoked!

W6/D2 Pull 2

Did a hiit class this morning and came back for legs. Definitely not jogging out 🤦‍♀️

Legs are hard for me because I have a weak knee and I had resigned myself to just not being able to strengthen there. Your programs have my mindset changed tho. Thanks!

Don’t like leg day before this program, no i really enjoy it, I have make a lot of progress 💪🏻💪🏻🔥

Another one where I increased weights in at least one rep of the set. 💪🏽
