Slow & Steady and Football
Did shoulders and arms yesterday, took it easy since I had a game at 9:30 and I was playing QB for the first time in a year. I started with shoulders, seated military press, side raises and upright rows. Nothing to crazy here just 3-4 sets of 10 and really focusing on my form. When I got to biceps I decided to slow things down and do 10 slow reps and really squeezing it at the top. I have to say that lowering the weight and doing it slow gave me a really good burn that I am still feeling. EZ Bar curl with the wide grip and then alternating d-bells curls both with the same tempo and great results. I followed the same for tricep pushdowns and I was very satisfied how I felt when I was done. I think I will try to incorporate this in my workout on a weekly basis.
Our team lost last night, i had some first half jitters and had trouble moving the ball down field but in the second half we scored each time we touched the ball so I’m looking forward to the next game and getting better.

Way to go on both counts Anthony. Nice workout & getting out on the football field. Isn’t that a lot of what the workouts are for……..to enjoy other sporting activities? At least for me……and not to pay dearly afterwards wth Weekend Warrior Syndrome.

Its amazing what changing the speed of a lift and squeezing it out can do for the feel. QB huh? That sounds like a blast.

It was fun once I got settled down and started making better throws. Last season my legs were out of it and since I’ve been hitting the legs harder my stamina on the field has increased quite a bit.
