Tue., 6/23/15, Shoulders

Verse of the day: Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do,  and does not do it, to him it is sin. -James 4:17

Today was an excellent shoulder workout. The joints felt good and I was pretty strong on some of the movements I've been doing. It was mostly basic stuff... with a few twists. I started with my usual rotator cuff warm-up, then went straight to the machine lateral raise. I started light for high reps and slowly added weight and decreased the reps, and finished it off with a drop-set. Next was the rear lateral raise, but I lay on my side and used a hammer grip: 4 sets with the same weight. I finished off the isolation work with seated front dumbbell raises- just 2 sets of 12 and10. After that I went on to the Hammer Strength shoulder press, for 3 sets aiming for 12. I finished the shoulders off with traps: 3 sets of octagon bar shrugs ranging from 20 to 12 reps each set and ending with a drop-set. The weight portion took about 25-30 minutes + my thorough stretch before and after.
