Yes, I’m not going to blog 100% about training for once. It’s been one heck of a week at work. It seems like all of the projects I’ve been working on are coming due at the same time, not to mention the extras that are constantly pushed on me. It reminds me of my college days during finals week, and every prof. decides to assign a paper due the same week. Looks like I’ll be wrapping up almost everything today though… promoting an employee to a supervisor position is the one I want to most get off my plate. What a perfect way to end the week though… telling an employee he’s getting the job he wants, and greatly increasing his pay!

 On a training note… if it weren’t for escapaing to the gym in the mornings, I would’ve cracked under the pressure of work this week.

Ok, so a while back I read an article on BB.com that stated a ’shoulder day’ is not needed. What a bunch of crap!!! The article stated to simply include shoulder presses in your normal chest routine. Sounds simple enough, right?

Well, looking in the mirror I noticed my shoulders seemed to be lagging behind my arms in chest. So this morning I did my ’shoulder day.’ Complete with dumbell presses, lateral raises, upright rows…. and so forth. Yeah, I can already feel the difference, and SEE the difference in the mirror (typical temporary postworkout increase in size for the muscle group worked).

So, it there’s anyone who says you don’t need to focus on your shoulders, tell them to get bent.
