I did day 7 today, Shoulders and Tri's and LOVED it. She had some fabulous variations on triciep exercises that really worked that area. I find a lot of workouts rely on tricep dips and tricep push ups and my body gives out (especially my range of motion on tricpe dips as it gets into my shoulders). I listened to the introduction for form pointers as there were a couple of new to me exercises. I found it doable but tough and one to grow with.

I tried the first few days of the Iron series and decided to stick with it for a couple of weeks.
I was feeling dread for my paper workout programs and wanted a break but want to maintain strength. I think this will work great for that. I love that they are short and the timed intervals are motivating, even if maybe not the best method for strength. I am not sure how balanced this is as an overall plan, but it is fun for now. |

My triceps have gone to failure on this series and started quivering at the end, lol. I hate dips, ugh, so sometimes I substitute over head tricep extensions or skull crushers on the floor. I feel dips more in my shoulders which I’ve had injuries on the last few years. Geez, I hate getting older, lol.

Hey this reminds me..... in that killer lunge day of Iron, when she does the forward leaning lunges on the yoga block..... this is sort of the opposite of how Cathe does forward leaning lunges. Cathe usually elevates the back foot, not the front foot. I think Cathe is aiming to work the glute and maybe Caroline is trying to hit the quad more? Does anyone have any other wisdom on this to offer?

Angela, I started doing the thrusters on the floor after the first week too. For some reason it’s more comfortable on my lower back to do them that way instead. Ella, Erica and Pretty in Pink, I felt the same way about some of her earlier programs but the Iron Series seems more balanced. You work lower body three days (glutes/quads/total body) and upper body three days (splits two days/total body). I like the set up of this series a lot, I don’t feel like any body part is over worked. I just finished #17 Upper Body but subbed scull crushers for the repeated dips, and she suggested that in her intro to make it work for you. I hate tricep dips, (did I say that earlier) lol.
