Pull Day 7.11.24

One of my favorite leg days. I love supersets and this workout has the best supersets. I’m a little worried I won’t be able to go up and down the stairs tomorrow 🤪.

I watched my legs shake in the mirror during those RDLs😅

It’s been a minute since getting a good lift in. Sickness, vacations, summer, and just life. But finding other ways to be active through it all, even if it’s not lifting 💗

It’s been a while since I’ve done HIIT 😮‍💨💦

Took a few weeks off to dedicate to Pilates practice and this kicked my butt! Thought I went light in weights but by round 3 I could already feel my hamstrings getting sore 🥵
