W4/DAY 3: GLUTES

W4/DAY 3: GLUTES

We are in the week of this program where I want challenge you to step into progressive overload & pick up slightly heavier weights than the first 3 weeks! So for example if you used 10lbs dumbbells all throughout Week 1-3, for Week 4-6 I want you to challenge yourself to 12-15 lbs instead! Same for all weights/all exercises. This is how we grow & become stronger in the gym!!! You got this :)
