Leg day – phase 3

We’ve got a great day of leg pain ahead of us – tomorrow. Tackle this workout with the heaviest weight you can muster. This last phase of Bri’s shred is mainly machines or cables – which really allows you to push it! They focus in on the targeted muscle area with out the fear of dropping a heavy weight on yourself. Be sure to always be aware of your form and keep your core tight.
