early shoulders at GVAC

Like Tuesday's chest routine, I started sets on the 2:00 today. Felt OK. Shoulder exercises take a little longer to find a rhythm, I believe.

  • warm up
    • bench
      • 2 x 12 @ 135 lbs on the 2:00
    • DB flys
      • 2 x 12 @ 25 lbs on the 2:00
        • good. Shoulders down and back, elbows up, pinkies up. Felt a goood chest stretch.
  • behind-the-neck press
    • 3 x 12 @ 65 lbs on the 2:00
    • 1 x 10 @ 75 on the 2:00
      • too heavy
    • 1 x 12 @ 65 on the 2:00
      • shoulders were spent
  • Arnold presses
    • 3 x 12 @ 20 on the 2:00
    • 1 x 12 @ 25 on the 2:00
    • 1 x 12 @ 30 on the 2:00
      • could have gone heavier. Try 5 sets at 25 or 30 lbs next time.
  • front raises
    • 3 x 12 @ 10 on the 2:00
    • 2 x 12 @ 15 on the 2:00
      • important to find rhythm on this exercise.
