Glute Finale
PHHEW! By now, you should be noticing a difference in your butt’s shape and tone.
Congratulations on dominating the program so far!
This is the last phase but don’t get sad, you can repeat. The cool thing is that you have all data recorded so it will be rewarding to look back and see what you were lifting 12 weeks ago.
Find your 4-6 rep Max for your ‘A’ or Main lifts.
On all other exercises, if you can’t get the reps, drop weight and go again. You should aim to use the same weight for all 2 sets. If you find the weights are too heavy or too light, feel free to adjust at your own will to better suit the rep range.
