Great workout set. Took a 5 hour break after morning bike ride...too long?

Mark Kelley

W1/D4 Lat and Bicep

Great workout. My only question for clarification is in the flies. Sometimes when there are both right arm and left arm exercises you split those out. Sometimes you make it one section of a superset. Just confirming it should be 15 right arm, 15 left, then ab roller. Thanks!

I really didn’t want to go to the gym today but my good friend who’s also doing this program reminded me that Legitness doesn’t rest!

These workouts and eating a carnivore diet are saving my life!

W2/D2 Lat and Bicep

Wow! Those diamond push-ups were too much! Merry Christmas!

Those diamond push-ups right after the chest pushes are brutal.

Thanks for killing me at the end of every workout! 🔥

Happy New Year! A great way to start 2023.

I’m really enjoying this program. I’m cutting right now, and it’s keeping me strong! Can’t wait to see how strong and cut I am after week 6!
