awesome work Alisa. i seriously doubt your pics were scary, that’s just silly. that circuit involves some heavy weights, impressive!

if you have one, did you mention what your goal weight was?
i finally had a break through on the scale this week myself. i’m hopeful tomorrow will be even better. (146.6 today)

Congrats on your breakthrough.
I’m gunning for 134 – so a total of 10 pounds from where I started.

I liked that circuit. (My workout buddy, not so much; I was hogging the rack a bit.)

Nice job! Though I’m not surprised, you work damn hard.

These workouts look tough! You’re doing great!

How much leaner you thinking? Your pics looked awesome and pretty lean.

2x
{
push press 10@30’s
lunges 15 each leg @40’s
pullup 10 (in one set!)
side plank 25 s each side
medicine ball rollouts 15.
}

1x
{
bent-over row 8 @85
RDL 6@175
jumping lunges 15 each leg
bulgarian split squat 10 each @40’s
}

3x
{
step-up 12 each leg @40’s
dips on bench: 10
jumping jacks: 15
superman: 30 s.
}

Then, just for kicks, got my first ever wide-grip pullup.

@ Mascherano:
I want to get down to 135 or so. Or however low it takes to get rid of the thigh/saddlebag goop.
