I'm with Thomas - they're definitely the most fun. Probably because of the challenge!
 
Good morning! Today must've been national bro day...the gym was full by 5:15! Luckily there's a lot of chest equipment. Lol Felt a little weak today for some reason but I've been a little congested on and off so maybe that's why. Still got a great workout in for today.

Great session today! I love those hang-n-swings too. Especially following rear delt raises.
 
Stronger everyday kit kat! Great job!
 
I'm officially embarrassed! Kat, you are so mean to be showing me up like this! Lol. Joking of course. KatPower!
 
Lol thanks everyone! I just realized I didn't put my flat bench in there! Oops- just added it!
 
Got off early and squeezed in a little nap before hitting the gym again.

Not sure why anyone would want a chicken as a mascot. I promise I won't talk football in this thread lol...

Spurrier is the best female coach there ever was.
 
Hahaha you guys are so funny!

I grilled chicken for the 2nd day this week to make chicken Caesar wraps for dinner...yesterday, the dogs decided to help me out by eating the chicken off the back of the stove. Lol So, attempt #2 went much smoother! I couldn't even eat it all! ...I noticed after my cardio that I'm starting to get separation in my delts! What??!! :-O

Yummy and you look awesome!
 
Good morning! Hubby asked me to switch my rest day from Wednesday to Thursday. So...arms it was today! My shoulders and outer chest are so incredibly sore! I can't hardly lift my arms! Lol I had a hard time today! May have to switch up the order and be one of those Monday chest people! Hahaha

Hella volume!!

I thought I'd never say this, but I had to switch my chest day to Monday also. It was the only way I could get a rest day on the weekend and have enough time in the weekend to do legs, being that Meadows has us working chest twice a week.. Oh well, at least I go early enough to where all the benches are taken.
 
So triples weren't painful enough you go for a foursome!!
Awesome work Kat, looking yummy for sure in here and those chicken wraps look pretty good also:)
 
Great job, Kat!!!!! You make it look so easy!
 
I'm glad I didn't marry an SC girl! She'd probably kick my *ss if she worked out like you do. You are putting a whipping on those weights!
