Great session.  Right calf still a bit weaker on the raises.  Left hip struggles a bit more on the HT holds and leg lifts.  Overall felt strong though!  Thanks!

My abs were sore for the past threes days, back to normal today.  Chest had two days soreness too.  Today I felt great.  It was actually hard to not go too fast with the 1:1 rest.  I think 15/16/12 is where I really should be but it felt pretty easy today.  Thanks!

35’s on the front foot elevated split squats were really heavy for me but doable.  I’m sure I’ll feel that soreness in the glutes tomorrow.  Emom was fun :).   Thanks!

This was fun to do some new things.  All split squat variations felt good.  Side plank leg lifts are hard, I broke them into 5/5 to keep the holds legit.  Thanks!

This was again, harder than it looked.   Definitely hard a good chest burn going by the end.  Playing with what is sustainable is such an interesting game.  Definitely made me hungry :).  Thanks!

So good to get some gym time.  Had a rigorous riding lesson yesterday and body felt great this morning, huge improvement.  Left leg is harder on the wall sits, that seems to be the sticky hip these days.  Everything else went great!  Thanks!
