It was great, almost quit but kept pushing! Don’t think I was doing the kb swings right so I did give up on those haha but I added in extensions and hammy curls. 
Wish I could work out with you!!!!

W3/D1 Upper Body

It was one of the best leg days I have had in a while! Moved all my weights up! A very good workout!

It was one of those days when I rolled out of bed at 4:20am and the last thing I wanted to do was hit the gym. I came and I conquered! 40 pound KB swings and Goblet squats for PRs!

I was tired today but still pushed through this great workout! My legs are dead!!
