Lifting and getting stronger with Caroline Girvan: 2025

New thread !

And a boob job. I also think she looks great.

@Gobacktotheworld thank you, that's interesting and it makes a lot of sense.

She's got visible abs but not the blocky abs that you see on Crossfitters. A boob job is essential when you have such low body fat. She could easily qualify for bodybuilding bikini competitions but she's too sensible to do that - the discipline required, mainly for diet, is horrendous.

Did anyone else see that hilarious post on the group in praise of hip thrusts, with many emojis?
Yes we all know we need to work the gluten, we're not complaining because it's hard ffs.

You mean the one where she felt ‘sad’ because people were moaning about them?

Yep, 'sad' about the 'hate', with many emojis especially of peaches.

Did an unleash full body day 14. I liked it . Was very tough of course- all of unleash is tough. Renegades and face pulls were in it- makes a nice change🙂

Just 🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

I can’t bring myself to read anything he writes. I am minded if a time he wrote an article on post natal depression. He is a man with no children.
Luckily he and the blonde are not updating much- probably means they don’t care for the programme but but don’t want to say

That's epic! 😉

UB 9 - Hip Thrusts AND hamstring thrusts today. Why was I so rubbish at the hamstring ones?! At least there were no lunges!

He had loads on Facebook yesterday - I think he didn’t like it that much, was doing something with an Olympic plate

@Gobacktotheworld omg not the calf one?

No, you need to use her brand of fake tan for that to happen!!!!

I did Max day 25 yesterday so half way (I'm behind for various reasons). I like the circuit days, and I was glad to see tricep dips back as I have a love/hate relationship with them (I used to hate them but don't mind then now).

But even these circuits days are still not intense enough for me. I have started designating Sundays as my cardio day, as I really miss it. I did this Heather Robertson kettlebell hiit this morning:

HR used one lighter kettlebell, but I used 3 different weight kbs. It had lots of compound movements and really got my heart rate up. And I felt properly fatigued afterwards, which is something I just haven't been getting with Max. I will still finish Max, but it will take longer as I am going to add some other stuff in.

Thanks for this!

I'm the same. Max, and even Rev, don't get my HR up. This week, I added in an Endgame HIIT and a cardio boxing session from CG's YT.

I love a cardio boxing session. I'll check that one out.

I really need some variety, and that's what is missing from Max I feel.
