DAY 12:Upper Back & Calves

This is the last workout of the second week, which means you’ve got two full rest days ahead of you. This means that you’re going to have to give everything you have today, leaving nothing in the tank and letting it all out on the gym floor. You can see just how quickly these transformations pass by. It feels like we just started yesterday!

Let’s finish the week on a high and crush upper back and calves.
