Shoulders

People who bring cookies to work should be kicked.  I had a client workshop today and was doing so well resisting the white chocolate & lemon cookies doing the rounds.  That was until the oatmeal & raisin ones were pulled out..... GAME.OVER!!

My sugar rush aside, and now finally able to walk after an uncomfortable few days - it hurt to even touch my legs - ouch ouch ouch!!  Back to the gym I went this evening to train my shoulders.  Good session, feeling weaker than normal but happy enough.

Other than changing my exercises I try to change up the rep ranges and techniques I use.  I didn't have time today to plan a session so I stuck to basic exercises and adopted the "truncated pyramid" method.  Basically starting with a lower weight for 15 reps, heavier weight for 12 reps, heaviest weight for 8-10 reps (whatever I failed at).

Tonight's programme went as follows.  3 set of each..

• Seated DB Shoulder Press
• BB Upright Row
• DB Lateral Raises
• Cable Front Raise
• Cable Rope Rear Delt Rows

Finishing with a drop set of front plate raise.

A healthy dinner of spicy beef, pepper, mushroom, onion and green bean stir fry; and my food made and packed for tomorrow.  Feeling all saintly (minus the cookies).

Love
