Review Of Jamie Eason's Live Fit Trainer - Week 3

Pin It now! Week 3 of  Jamie Eason's Live Fit Trainer went really well. The workouts were changed up a bit and there were 5 days of weight training this week. This program is completely free on BodyBuilding.com and I really recommend it. I am currently on week 5, so I am working on catching up with the reviews this week...stay tuned!

The soreness is back this week!

So what can I say about week 3...
Week 3 was easier as far as the diet goes. I pretty much kept the same eating schedule and foods as week 2. It made it easy for me and luckily it takes me a pretty considerable amount of time to get tired of certain foods. I am still loving the workouts in week 3...even with the addition of another day.

The workouts for week 3 took a little longer time than the first two weeks. It is also incorporating some new workouts so it's readjusting and I found week 4 was a tad bit faster. I started on a Monday, so the schedule was:
Monday - Legs, Tuesday - Back & Biceps, Wednesday - Chest & Triceps, Thursday - Legs, and Friday - Shoulders & Abs.

Still no cardio this week! I was not quite as sore this week in my legs but my arms and shoulders definitely were. I think I pulled my right hamstring the first leg day doing walking barbell lunges. The back of my thigh hurt so bad it was pretty hard to continue the rest of them with weight so I did the other two sets without weight and could not get as deep on my right side. It slightly affected my ability to do the single leg barbell dead lift but I pushed through. The rest of the exercises I was able to do without any issue or pain. It hurt for about two days but when Leg day came around again on Thursday I did not have any problems with anything. Besides the minor muscle pull I had, my only other complaint is with the standing calf raises. The machine puts a lot of weight on your shoulders which kept causing me to have a red bruising from the seam of my shirt. I've now switched to a dry fit type shirt on leg day because it does not have a seam in the shoulder. It has kept it from bruising me, but I will say it is still a very uncomfortable machine. Maybe my shoulders are just weak at this point and I'm being a baby.

One other note is that Jamie says you can use that extra leg day to work the muscle you feel like is your weakest. You may have to change around the split of the other days so that it works with you having enough rest for that muscle group. Because I'm trying to get my legs really strong - I chose to stick with what she had as the schedule.

I'm three days into week 5 now, so if you have any questions for what it is like going forward feel free to ask!
