@guisepine Yes I have just started it, I love it! It's the first time I do an actual routine instead of just arriving at the gym and do whatever machine is free. Yes I'm Portuguese! Não me lembro por que escolhi este nome, eu não gosto de cenouras! Ahaha. :)

Hello everyone! For the first time in ages, I've decided to actually follow a workout plan (P.H.U.L.). I have an issue though, I lack mobility in my hips and ankles. I've been working on them (doing dynamic stretches before workouts) and they seem getting better but still not good enough to...
