I wanted to change up my workout routine with something fun and challenging so this one was great to start this week! I am on week 1 so if you want to join in you can do so ASAP! It’s free and you can download the app to do the workouts everyday; alone or in conjunction with your current lifting routine.

For the two circuits you will need different equipment but most of it can be easily found in your local gym. As mentioned in the video you do every single exercises back to back for 3 rounds in each circuit. You DO NOT REST between any round or exercise, just do it back to back to back with no down time – you will be out of breath but push through!
After Day 1 I was very sore in my back because I think my body was not used to this type of intense, fast paced training. I have always been just all about taking my time with my lifting so this was a change of pace for sure. My back was sore from yesterday but I battled through and of course make sure to drink my BCAA
Current Stats: 112lbs & 1RM back squat is 155lbs. I was able to do 1 rep with proper form. In a few weeks I hope this goes up! It’s so exciting to know you are going to see some gains and muscle growth 🙂
Today you will figure out your 1 Rep Max back squat. I warmed up with 2 x 25lb on each side, then moved up to 2 x 45lbs on each side and then loaded 2 x 10 to make it a total of 55lb on each side. I haven’t pushed myself to add that amount in a very long time so it was a fun challenge!

I think I’ll give this a try! I looked it up & it looks very challenging. I need a change in my routine and I’m trying to build more muscle & lose a little fat in my lower half so I think w/ all the squatting & deadlifting I hope to accomplish that! My upper body responds so well to my training but lower half is slowly making some progress?
