Description: W1/D2: Back & Shoulders + Core

It was a good workout all together. My belly fat got in the way of full rotation, but overall, I got the hang of it, and I think I did pretty good.

I loved it! Day two going strong! Dragon kicks killed me though. 😂

Not me unable to get up after the dragon kick 🤣. This workout kicks ass

Hello Magnus
The beast workout combined with boxing - will the boxing part, once per week, have some other effects against the desired workout goal?

My back felt awesome, and my abs started to feel like they were overlapping

The last 2 made my abs so tight they started to cramp

I’m not allowed to do a full workout because of my eye surgery 2 weeks ago.
But the mobility for my shoulders is great

Petra

Can definitely feel the work out feels good.

Philip Malpass

I’ve been part of the Magnus workout family for a while and I absolutely love and value these routines. Being a former ice hockey goalie with a hip replacement and other sports surgeries I am able to effectively do these routines without pain or injury and they keep me functional and strong. I always recommend this app to friends and family

Rachel

Great workout. My shoulders are trashed from years of hyper extending joints, so low weight on side lat raises. Magnus looks smooth doing rotational switch blade. Me? Far from smooth.😮

Beginner, did almost all reps! Greetings from Latvia))

Kaspar

I started this program a while ago but for some reason I never finished it. I’m going to restart it it’s a solid program. Might have to switch up some of the leg exercises due to a torn meniscus and no leg press.

Gary Maness

Day 2! Still can’t feel my legs from yesterday!

W1/D2: Back & Shoulders + Core

Age 39, height 6 ft, weight 270 lbs, hard as heel ofr someone who hasn't done anything this intensive since getting out of the Marine Corps 12 years ago. This core/ leg workout is definitely going to be a constant in the books for me.

W2/D2: Chest & Core

So much wish for you to do a three day split heavy weight lifting program for women in pre menopause, menopause. So we can do cardio separately.

W3/D2: Arms + Core

Back to the Best after finnishing Start Strong 2024 challenge. Feels good with some variation. Tough! But I did good! Increased some weights and/or reps.

W3/D3: Legs + Core

Dragon kicks are a killer for the abs, and hard to master right technique. Workout went well.

Backs shoulder and abs are wiped out! Great!

W3/D4: Back & Shoulders + Core

Happy New Year Magnus. Going on year… 5? 6? Of your programs. Thank you so much for the motivation and guidance all this time.

W3/D5: Chest & Core

Crowded gym today so had to do some alternative excersices. But it went very well. Got my heart pumping too. 👌🏼

Arms felt the pump. Would love to know if it is 20 or 10 reps on each side or total.

W4/D1: Arms + Core

Fun! Upped the reps. Felt pretty strong today.

Great pump! Coulda used a few more exercises. Finished in 33 mins!

Connie Dale

W4/D5: Arms + Core

Hard! Heavy/tough. But I did my best and the sweat dripped here and there. 🥵

I did my leg press set with 220 all the way through. I could go heavier next time. But still impressed myself

W5/D1: Legs + Core

Omg! The sets and reps! Lat side raises! Dragonkicks! 🥵🥵🥵

Definitely a great session. 750 Calories later👏

Sirj 

W5/D2: Back & Shoulders + Core

Bench press was heavy today!
And I gave it my all on the air dyne bike! 🥵🥵🥵

W5/D3: Chest & Core

Tough with 4 sets of rotational leg kicks! 🥵

W5/D4: Arms + Core

Tough. Lack of sleep=energy today so skipped one set of the leg superset.
Also the deadmill sprints... Getting plenty of Cardio this week...

My legs are fried! I did extra on leg press and now I know I won't be able to walk much this Sunday 😂

W5/D5: Legs + Core

Nice workout. Skipped the sprints due to enough Cardio this week and lack of time. 🤷🏼‍♀️

W6/D1: Back & Shoulders + Core

Great! Like the dumbells bench presses better. 🫣
Felt strong today...

W6/D2: Chest & Core

Forgot to mark this as finished on wednesday... 🤷🏼‍♀️

Fantastic arm day! Only a few more till completion!

Did this as a speed round and I felt it! Nice and tough!!!

W6/D3: Arms + Core

Great workout. Upped some weights and reps. 🥵

Coupled this work out with w1d1 leg work out. Was terrific!

W6/D4: Legs + Core

Yeay! I finished! It was hard/tough, but fun. 👌🏻

Finally completed!!! Now to decide what my next will plan will be!

Last day of the beast! This workout was so good, but going through some health issues that come with extreme fatigue, it was hard to get through the whole program. I’m not one to brag, but I am proud of myself for completing it at all. It may have taken me months but I did it!
