nice work keep flexing 💪 😃  

I.LOVE.THIS 

thank you for this post I just got home from a 13 hour shift with no self motivation to go workout but your post is the kick in the butt that I need to go lift.  

Looking Good and Strong!  

Awesome! 

Looking so strong!! 👏🏻 

Nice work. Do you alternate your grip position? I like wide grip because it builds a wider back. My trainer though has me change it every month to change up my muscle building routine. 

ajbusjahn - thanks - I like Lat Pull downs and can really feel it in the shoulders.  

otb - thanks! Today I kept telling my husband let's go today because he wanted to go tomorrow but I won. LOL Glad your discipline kicked in to get you to go.  

HCB - thanks - I turn 59 on Halloween so I am thankful for anything I can do and love seeing all ages lifting! 

Nice, shoulders are looking great! I also need to behave. I've been pretty good this week. 

Sidnay - thanks! I feel good and was struggling with elbow tendonitis but have worked thru it.  

Supergainz & StormsGirl- Thanks so much. I will be happy to be back in our regular gym next week but glad that I started this program 3 years ago and could walk into a gym and know how to use some of the workout equipment. Feels great! 

Golfmarina- That is a good question on the grip position. This is not my regular workout gym and to tell you the truth it was a little weird working on other equipment. I have been with a trainer from day 1 and he has showed me where to hold my grip and I realized today that I focus on where that is on the bar in his gym but going to another gym I was a little lost. I think this will be good for me to pay a little more attention to it next week and ask some questions! My trainer is very good about form and they will adjust you but I have been pretty complacent and just do as I am told. I want to learn why?  

Diablo, Thanks, I did great this week following my macro's and weekends can sometimes do me in. Good luck - let's check in Monday to make sure we are all on track! 

Awesome💪💪💪 

Get ripped! 💪💪 

Chia- thanks I am in my mid reps this week so I had 72# and did 12, 10, 10 for reps. I had lymphedema in my right arm and cording from surgery and the lat pulls have really improved my daily life! 

66 pack-Thanks! I read your bio and I was raised on a farm so I know what you mean by meat and potatoes! That was a daily staple. I still love a lot of the foods from growing up on the farm and one thing I will say is that processed foods were not in our diet then.  

Ginome- Thanks and great work on your weight loss!
