Superset Exercises if you’re short on time.

Great warmup for leg day! Lift knee off the floor and kick back flexing your glutes then open your hips and bring your leg around high as possible. The reserve the motion and flex Glute again and repeat.

The tricep exercises were definitely challenging. The slow motion gets you at times. At the end it’s a superb feeling to know that you are growing stronger with one set at a time

Really great workout, Also found a newly built gym in neighbourhood, so that was fun!

Good and really heavy arm workout if You maximize! Felt great and strong!

W2/D3 Shoulders, Arms &Glutes

There is definitely a significant improvement for second week compared to first one. It actually took me by surprise. Love every bit of it. This time my deadlifts were in super good form 😀.

I dont know if it was the PWO (that may have been quite strong), the sunny monday or the fact I havent been on the gym in a week, but a few PB was broken probably to the fact I am not beeing able to walk tomorrow… 🙃

Yo! Lean forward on the adductor/abductor machine and tell me what your booty feels like! 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
