I did my final Stage 3, Workout A last night:
Stage 3 Workout A4
A1. One armed dumbbell snatch - 20/6, 25/4, 20/6
B1. Dumbbell single-leg Romanian Deadlift -20/6, 25/6, 25/6
B2. Barbell bent-over row - 65/6, 65/6, 75/6 (+10!)
C1. Dumbbell single-arm overhead squat -5,10/6, 10,20/6, 10,20/6
C2. Dumbbell incline bench press -20/6, 25/6, 25/6 (finally got two sets @ 25!)
D1. Plank - 3 @ 90 seconds
D2. Reverse wood chop -35/6, 40/6, 45/6 (+5)
Body matrix - 2:20, 2:35
This workout in general was my favorite so far and I'm happy it comes back in Stage 5. The Body Matrix is true evil, but it feels so good to finish it! I've made big (for me) gains this stage and I'm really starting to see muscle, which is fantastically rewarding. Here's my start and finish weight to show the gains:
