Pull Throughs were done with single band

Had to skip thighs due to time constraints. Legs and calves are sore; good pump on both legs and calves, small pump for glutes - will need to adjust glute routine.

Enjoyed flutter specifically for calves.

Awesome recordkeeping.

How are your energy levels throughout the day?

Are you sleeping okay?

Make sure you’re eating enough; a strong metabolic boost can be a surprise effect.

I’m currently recovering from being sick- so sleep and energy levels are so down they’re on the floor. Normally I’m pretty well off. I am eating more now so fingers crossed the energy will come back strong.

Starting to feel better overall and getting more sleep as well. Not feeling much in the way for a lat pump but god do I love the Biceps block.

Really like the Surge Challenge. It’s much harder to do in a commercial gym though. I’m working out at night and focusing on my reps. Adding weight where needed while not sacrificing on form. All about focus.

On a sidenote- I ordered the V-diet as I want to lean out but my stomach couldn’t handle it. Maybe I need to just go into it a tad bit slower or just do the Protein Pulse. Any ideas?

My suggestion here would maybe be to try starting with one meal period at a time or start with 50% of the plan by breaking the day in half. When I work with clients (I’m a registered dietitian), that want a slower onboarding into their healthy eating journey, I usually have them start with one meal at a time. Start where it’s comfortable and then once that starts feeling doable and you feel good there, add another meal or day part. Slow and steady - you got this!!

Sounds good! I love the V-Diet, I think I may need more fiber or to ease into it. I’m going to start up and catalog my results. The last time I simply had some GI issues. I appreciate the feedback @QuadQueen <3
