Shoulders
Today was one of those workouts that I wished I had more exercises to do. It was a fun workout and I didn’t want to end it. I worked out shoulders and then did 50 minutes of cardio. I’m feeling back into my training from vacation. I was only able to workout 3 days this week. It was such a hectic week, so the gym was a nice stress reliever. I had to drive down to Miami on Friday, and drove home Saturday, so those days were shot, (5 hours of driving on Friday, stuck at the airport for 6 hours, and then 4 hours of driving on Saturday) no training
DB shoulder presses: warm up 15 lbs. 12 reps. set 1- 15 lbs. 10 reps, set 2- 15 lbs. 10 reps, set 3- 20 lbs. to failure
DB Side Raises: set 1- 10 lbs. 12 reps, set 2- 10 lbs. 10 reps, set 3- 12.5 lbs. to failure.
DB Front Raises(seated): set 1- 10lbs. 12 reps, set 2- 12.5 lbs. 12 reps, set 3- 12.5 lbs. to failure.
Cable Up-Right Rows: set 1- 50 lbs. 10 reps, set 2- 60 lbs. 10 reps, set 3- 60 lbs. to failure
Cable Rear Delts: set 1- 10 lbs. 12 reps, set 2- 10 lbs. 12 reps, set 3- 20 lbs. to failure.
Cardio: 30 minutes on the tread mill 3.5 mph, 12% incline, 20 minutes spin bike, level 4, 15.5 mph.
My diet was not so great. I had Chinese food, loaded with sodium. But, I cleaned it up for dinner. 5 oz. turkey breast burger with 1/4 avocado, and 1/2 c. mangos. My diet will be back on track tomorrow. No more traveling for me!!!
ps. This is an edit because I forgot, but a good friend reminded me (thanks M.)…I also did Arnold presses: set 1&2- 30lb. 12 reps. set 3- 40 lbs. 10 reps.
DB Shrugs: set 1&2- 25 lbs. 12 reps. set 3- 30 lbs. reps 12.

Try adding Arnold Presses to your shoulder routine. They are great for range of motion and giving your shoulders a good burn.

SIx hours at the airport BLOWS!! I can totally sympathize with you here….Seems like I live at the airport on some days. And ya know, for some reason, those airport folks do not care about my oddball diet parameters…..
