I also like “surprise muscle” – when someone looks nice and fit, then they lift something in real life and surprise! Muscle.
Like you standing beside of a chair verses lifting a chair 15 seconds later:

There was a time when I was frustrated that I didn’t look as muscular after workouts as I did during them. But now I like it. It’s kinda like conceal carry.

So I met a lady at my gym who is always crushing it. We talked about using bands for a hip distraction that stretches out the (low back and side area) muscles that attach to your hips. I should do a video showing it someday because it’s an absolute game-changer.
Anyway, I hate interrupting people’s workouts but had wanted to chat with her since forever. So I was really stoked when she asked me about this stretch. She’s jacked, strong, skilled… and she’s got six kiddos.
That’s not a typo. She has SIX children and she’s outrageously fit. 
Leg Day (Plus Biceps)
• Barbell RDL: 4x10-15
The Smith machine was taken, but it’s about damn time I did this with a barbell. I mainly wanted to get a feel for it and learn how to really get the tension in the hams and glutes. So weight stayed moderate. My heart rate skyrocketed after every set, so it wasn’t “easy” but it also wasn’t brutal.
Superset:
• Adductor Machine: 4x15 with partials at the end
• Walking Lunge: 4x out and back, wide steps
This was intense. I got a butt pump and a quad pump, and I was breathless after every superset. I like using this approach when lifting. Dr. Jade Teta calls it the BBHH (burning, breathless, hot, heavy) and there’s all sorts of benefits to it, namely the production of HGH in women.
• Swiss Ball Leg Curl: 4x10
I couldn’t feel the muscles working anymore because everything felt super taxed and pumped. But went ahead and did the sets anyway.
• EZ Bar Curls: 4x10 (rest-pause when needed)
I don’t know what to write for weight. The first set had 20 pounds loaded on the bar, then for sets 2 through 4 I added five pound plates to each side. So that total is 30 pounds, plus the weight of the EZ bar is… uh… 25-ish pounds? So I’m doing somewhere around 55-pound bicep curls.
I don’t know. But on the last two sets, I had to use the rest-pause method because my biceps gave out. By the way, rest-pause is such a cool strategy. Same with cluster sets. And I just learned the difference from strength coach, Tasha Wolf Whelan.
I highly recommend checking out her video on the two methods.

I am traveling to Colorado Springs in June, anything that is a must see/do?
