Welcome, Lou! I’m Monique 👋🏽 I’ve been a member for I think 3 years now. It’s awesome to hear how RPS is helping you, and I can def relate. Excited for you to continue on this journey, this community is so wonderful and supportive. Glad you’re here!

So cute !! Love that bump!

Holy shit! 7 rounds + 5 chest presses using 15lb weights (I did both arms at the same time). I was confused during the first AMRAP, cycled between 10, 15, & 20lb weights thinking we were trying to intentionally push to failure (rather than measuring progress with the same weights) and got 4 sets in. So overall, this was a big jump forward! I have to walk my dog now and I will be skipping in celebration !! 🎉

Sweating, glasses fogged. Notable moments:

-I am luteal !! Felt so weak 2 days ago but this data has debunked that! What a nice fact to hold onto.

-I never placed my weights down. My grip fatigued sooner than my muscles during this sesh but I kept pushing.

-15 lbs may have been too light? as I could have kept going after the timer stopped.

-My movements were more fluid than the first time. I got into a flow state. Nervous system remained stable.

-My endurance was 🔥. Kept breathing, kept going.

-My stance was wider, squat lower, and hips felt stronger during sumo squats 💘 that was my hardest exercise last time, I love to see progress happening there.

Ruth, the gains are strong !!! 💪🏽 fuck me up with that focus on hypertrophy !! congrats bad b’s, let’s keep going !! And, shoutout to the chicken sausage hot dog (a specific craving) 🌭 and boiled eggs 🥚 I ate before this to power me up 😂😂

Congrats Emily !!!! 150 days is amazing! Your commitment to movement is inspiring 🥳🥳🥳👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I’M A BAD B MUSCLE MAMI !!!!!! Seconding Ruth in training for the revolution! 💪🏽❤️😤

I am getting so much more comfortable withstanding intensity. Letting myself struggle. Pushing through it.

I loooooooove it !!

💯💪🏽💯💪🏽💯

That was really hard. I showed up strictly for the gains future me is looking forward to having. 😏 After making it through, I feel pretty strong & zen.

The nice thing about sticking to a program is getting to remind myself that I’ve already BEEN doing it. Showing up now is just following protocol. 🌚💫

Grateful to do this with the community of bad b muscle mamis 💪🏽💕 sending you all big fist bumps after this one!

Thank you Ruth !! I appreciate the encouragement 🥰💪🏽
