The Ultimate 10-Week Cut: Week 2

The Ultimate 10-Week Cut: Week 2

It's week 2 already, and you've got this! Double down on your efforts this week with the same workout as last week, but this time around, give special attention to your form and control. If you feel adventurous, flip your upper and lower body workout days. And remember, there's no going too light on the weights this time around.
