I've never concentrated on a specific part before...I am paying closer attention to my areas that need a little extra, and for me, it's the glutes and abs, so I have made really big changes to my diet, and I have changed up my workout to help me focus in these areas. This is my goal for this challenge. But as an athlete, absolutely, I train for overall performance.

DAY 3 / WEEK 2 - Jugger-log
Today was back and bi’s in the morning, and I taught spin class this evening after work. I took my Juggernaut as usual on the way to the gym this morning. It definitely gave me energy and a really good pump. But I did not have as much strength as usual on my Barbell Spider Curls or my Standing Barbell Curls. I know this was due to lack of sleep last night, but overall, I still put in a good workout, and worked hard, It was just those two exercises that I did not have my usual strength.
My clothes have been fitting differently so I took some unofficial measurements tonight...can't believe I am already seeing movement there! I will take and post official measurements, weight and status pics on Sunday, at the end of week two

DAY 4 / WEEK 2
Today was an awesome day! It was chest and tri’s in the morning, and a short run in the evening after work. I had incredible energy and strength in the morning for chest and tri’s, and the energy continued afterwards! I got into the office and I was wishing that I could have left to get outside to go for my run this morning!!! Was good to get outside tonight though, beautiful weather...but it's getting darker earlier now!

Day 5 / week 2
I am posting a bit early today. My boyfriend and I are hosting a party tonight. One of our favorite bands, Like A Storm, finished up touring with Creed and is now doing private acoustic performances and we’ve booked them to play at our house tonight.
Today was legs, glutes and calves in the morning. I work legs twice a week, and my Friday workout is a tough one. I really like it though, and the Juggernaut HP truly helps me kill it! I would typically do abs on Friday evening, but just finished prepping for the party and now have to hit the shower to get ready! I will do abs to tomorrow with shoulders.
My meals below include the last meal that I will have before bed. I am also going to have a special treat tonight. Most likely tortilla chips & salsa, and either a diet pepsi with lime or a corona light! The macros for this are not included below.

It seems like everyone is doing legs today, interesting? very nice and detailed log of your macros, you seem to keep good account of it. Question, do you have a program that you use that tells you that or is it all just reading the labels and writing it down. Either way good job on your journey your doing great, Stay Strong!

Yeah, I work legs twice so Monday and Friday work best for me. I am also doing a half marathon in October, and I teach spin classes, so I've scheduled my leg workouts around my run and spin schedule too, it's working out well. I am also now taking the Infinite Labs Glutamine and I swear by that now for muscle recovery. My legs are not as exhausted as they used to be. I think I am also going to start taking BCAA's...
I do not use a program, I want to be as accurate as possible, so I get all of my information directly from the specific package that I use. I usually stick with the same brands, and if you look over my log, you will see I eat pretty much the same foods every day! But if I do happen to buy a different brand, I will look at the information on that specific package.
Thank you so much for the positive feedback! The support is truly helping to stay strong!

Hope your weekend has been good so far, today is my rest day so I thought I would keep up with the Juggheads. I have just started cooking and packing my food ahead of time but it has been a life saver. It really helps keep you on track instead of eating crap that you don't need. So I am glad that you do it too. Stay Strong, tomorrow starts a new week.
