Fri., 11/04/16, Shoulders

Verse of the day: I delight in Your Decrees; I will not neglect Your Word. Psalm 119-16

At this point I have picked out what I find to be the few exercises for the shoulders that have the most impact on the muscle and the least impact on the joint. I have to watch my rotator cuff, my elbow, my neck and my back when I train any muscle group- so I want the most bang for my buck. I like the seated dumbbell press with a 90 degree bench for overall size and the front and side deltoid; the seated dumbbell lateral raise to nail the side; and dumbbell rear lateral raise face down on an incline bench. Here's what my shoulder workout looked like yesterday:

seated dumbbell press: 15s-25; 35s-12; 55s-8; 70s-6; 85s-6; 70s-9
lateral raise: 20s-20; 30s-15; 40s-10; 50s-5
incline rear lateral: 35s-12,12,12

...boom- that's it. short and sweet.
