Strength and Sculpt, Part 5

Five parts of Strength and Sculpt? I think this will probably be my last post dedicated to Strength and Sculpt despite how entertaining my workout fails are! Anyways, this week someone’s husband decided to join the group. They had big bulky arms with veins popping out. He brought his uber-heavy weights from home.
