Can't believe you did a barbell workout after all that strength training! How's it feeling today? Solid FBGs though!

LOL Awesome!
I have to admit .. I was tempted to do a kick boxing workout in the evening yesterday. But I gave myself a stern talking to and didn't do it

Those barbell body pump classes .. they are great though. I used to do those in the morning or lunchtime and a spin class after work. Never been fitter or looked better than in those days. Great workouts.
