If you have heavy weights please see the Gym workouts. On the home side we will be working off a RPE (Rate of Perceived exertion). Which means you’ll need to work to failure with whatever weights you have available. That could be 10 reps or 30 reps. These workouts are a great baseline to build upon. LET’S GO!
