Great session.  Felt good to move some heavy weight with the DLs.  35’s were the most I could manage balancing on my hips for the hip thrusts.  Amrap felt great, love the core work.  Thanks!

Perfect session for the end of a busy stretch.  Was alone in the gym jamming to Taylor Swift and trying to go as heavy as I could.  Everything felt good.  The inversions are so hard.  Takes lots of brain power to try and keep the arms straight.  Thanks!

Done, 7 burpees per and did about 10 cals for every other minute on the bike.

Just feeling tired from being busy and active.   Wish I didn’t have to work ;).  Felt good in this one until the first round of jump rope and my left calf immediately got pissed.  I don’t know what it is exactly but it’s sharp and painful and takes days to get better.  So I just stopped and hopped on the bike every other minute.  No biggie but I think maybe my body doesn’t love rebounding.  Thanks!

I may not be tracking a ton of workouts but it’s been a physical week with farm projects and athletic horse rides.  Loved this workout.  So fun to db snatch again :).  Always loved that movement.  Sore the two days after from the ghd sit ups (in a good way).  Everything else was great!  Thanks!

I had a horse seminar over the weekend that took up two of my days off.  Was dying to get a chance to workout.  Felt good.  Legs are moderately sore the next day.  My calves are tight but managed not to pull anything.  Thanks!

Definitely a sweat session.  Had a lot of fun.  I took a lesson awhile back and I think it actually made me worse.  But hoping that’s just a phase.  Some calf soreness after this.
