QUARANTURNT Day 24 - Don’t Fear The Thunder Thighs

These two unreal humans above didn’t start working out and wake up 3 months later like “oh shit I gained 30lbs of muscle!” Especially girls who have less than 10% the testosterone that guys have, I freaking dare you to gain “too much muscle”. 

Finally, if you do get to a muscular point that’s too far for your ideal, then rest assured no one has struggled to lose muscle. 

Here is the IG post for today. ​
