    Congrats everyone on ur successes!

    Bland day, repeat weight with burpees, assisted pull-ups, and some deltoid work thrown in. Oh and some goblet squats :).

    SL
    Squats: 35
    BP: 20
    Rows: 35, 5x3 (30 seems easy, 35 challenging, so doing a middle ground. Not sure if this is the correct way of doing that but).

    Great Job guys. Amy I am finally 100% well again so if you are not, hang in there as I know you will be there soon too. Congrats everyone on the weight loss. I was hoping to see a loss for this past week but hard to tell since mother nature is due any moment now.

    Still not quite 100% but most of the way back. Today felt really rushed because of the MLK day-off crowd, hurrying to finish before the gym daycare closed, and lines of people waiting for the squat rack but I got through a workout. Hopefully by Weds I'll feel fully back up to snuff.

    Squats: warmup 2x5 @ 85, 3x5 @ 110, 2x5 @ 105
    Bench: 5x5 @ 60
    Rows: 1x5 then 2x10 @ 75. Went to 10s to get through them faster because I had to finish and get my daughter from the gym daycare before they went to their afternoon closure. Still detest rows but I actually liked doing them in higher rep sets better than the 5x5 so I might stick with that.

    Hey ladies,

    Due to some family/personal issues, I had to take most of the past week off. So I feel like it's in my best interest to start back at what would be day 1 of my program. It feels like I'm spinning my wheels a bit at the moment, but I know it's a better move for my health/injury prevention. Good to see everyone's progress, and I hope you all have a great week!

    WEEK 3

    DAY 1 - CHEST

    Flat Bench
    Set 1: 50 lb x 5
    Set 2: 55 lb x 5
    Set 3: 65 lb x 10


    Accessory lifts:

    Incline Dumbbell Bench press
    50 lb x 10 x 3

    Incline Push-up
    10 x 3

    Great to have everyone back. I think this is going to be so exciting to watch everyone accomplish goals and especially to recognize them every 4 weeks. So keep in mind for this week and next week that you want to have some successes to show on Monday, Jan 30th. Keep going Team Finish_No_Matter_What!

    Tiffanylacourse, will do.

    I sent Tiffany a private message and left her the message below but in the old thread.

    Tiffancylacourse, I see that you posted to the original sign up post. I've been trying not to launch that thread but thought I would check it to see if may you were the one who posted. Admittedly, I do want to keep the group small and not get into a never ending sign up mode.

    But it sounds you really are serious about joining so if you are still interested please join us. I think the other ladies will be okay with one more. I will see if I can message you in case you do not see this message.

    In case we have others who want to join, here are the details so that everyone is aware.

    The joining of this group will officially close on Saturday, January 21st, 2017. This will allow others who are serious about committing to the remaining weeks:
    1. The opportunity to join
    2. At least 1 week of working out {or maybe you've already started} so that you can participate in the first 4-Week-Result-Sharing exercise.
    3. Enough remaining weeks to make some kick-butt overall progress.
