Shoulders – 11/18

Shoulders:
-smith machine military press
-seated bent over rear delt raises
-front dumbbell raise
     -superset with dumbbell upright row
 -side lateral raises with plates
-rear delt flys on pec dec machine

-20min cardio

TIP OF THE DAY: When it comes to shoulders, I tend to worry less about the number of reps and more about the pump/feelings. I find that when I have the intention of doing 15 reps for example, I will stop at 15 even if I am capable of more. On the flip side, sometimes you may hit exhaustion at 12 reps and trying to get to 15 means sacrificing form. Therefore, I reccommend having a range, but going with how you feel – try to reach that shoulder pump when your shoulder muscles feel as though they are going to burst if you do another rep. Also, I try to keep my rest time low with shoulders, which again helps sustain a great pump!

I often include side lateral raises with plates in my shoulder workouts, and for those of you who are unfamiliar with what I mean, here is an example of what they look like. I hang onto the plates through the “handle” spaces and allow the weight to rest on the top portion of my forearms.

The song of the day for me:
(I always love uplifting, upbeat songs for morning workouts – starts off the day on such a positive note)
