Deltoids, Front Raises, Lateral Raises, Shoulder Press, Shoulders, Shrugs, Trapezoids, Upright Rows

This week we’ll be hitting shoulders. My shoulders are weak and I want to improve them a bit. So, I dedicate this week to shoulders.

Monday – Saturday – Lateral Raises (3 x 10), Shoulder Presses (3 x 10), Front Raises (3 x 10), Upright Rows (3 x 10), Shrugs (3 x 10)

Have a glorious week in the gym, if your gym is open. If not, get those bodyweight exercises in or watch an exercise video on YouTube.

See you at the finish line!

Back, Biceps, chest, Exercise Bands, Home Workout, Legs and abs, Shoulders, Staying Safe, triceps

Here’s my weekly workout routine:

Home workout:

  • Monday – Leg and Ab workout exercise bands.
  • Tuesday – Back, Chest, Shoulders, Triceps, and Biceps workout exercise bands.
  • Wednesday – Leg and Ab workout exercise bands.
  • Thursday – Back, Chest, Shoulders, Triceps, and Biceps workout exercise bands.
  • Friday – Leg and Ab workout exercise bands.
  • Saturday – Back, Chest, Shoulders, Triceps, and Biceps workout exercise bands.
  • Sunday – day off.

If any of you are lacking in the home gym arena, check out YouTube. There are plenty of home workouts available there. Keep pushing. Keep working. This will all end and things will get back to normal at some point. Until then, contingency exercise routines will be the solution. Be creative and get it done!

Be safe, pay attention to local authorities, and keep pushing.

See you at the finish line!

Deltoids, healthy living, Shoulders, Traps

I’ve been using a new routine since getting back to the gym in February. I work one body part per day. So far, so good. Today was a shoulder workout.

  • Cable Front Rows
  • Cable Face Pulls
  • Cable Reverse Delt Flys
  • Dumbbell Lateral Raises
  • Dumbbell Rear Delt Raises
  • Machine Shoulder Presses

For each of the above, I do 8-12 reps and 4 sets. I’ll increase the intensity as I go forward, but not bad for week 4 back in the gym. For those of you who didn’t see my reasons, I avoid the gym between January and February. I’m not a big fan of the New Year’s Resolution crowds that pack the gym in these months. Now that they have moved on, the gym is at tolerable population levels.

I’ll continue this routine for another month to get back into gym shape, then adjust. I hit the gym 7 days a week, with one day being a straight cardio day.

That’s it for today folks!

Bodybuilding, Deltoids, Drop sets, healthy living, High-reps, Shoulders, Trapezoids

Happy Post Halloween!

I hope everyone had a great time passing out goodies to all the costumed little people last night–we sure did. There were some great costumes.

Ok, so here we go. Today’s workout involved targeting the back. The current workout I’m using was designed by me. It targets the three heads of the deltoids (front, lateral, and rear) and the trapezoids. As you can see in this workout I really enjoy moving up the weight with each set. What I did to mix things up today was to use drop sets and high reps at the end of the exercise to really burn the muscle. It was terrific! My shoulders were screaming afterward.

Today’s workout:

Shoulders:

Military press: 70×6; 90×6; 110×6; 110×6; 120×6;  130×6

Deltoids:

Dumbbell front raises: 15×6; 20×6; 25×6; 15×30

Lateral raises: 15×6; 20×6; 25×6; Drop Sets: 15×20; 10×10

Rear delt machine flys: 50×10; 70×10; 90×10; 110×10; Drop sets: 90×10; 70×15;

Shrugs: 55×10; 60×10; 65×10; 70×10; 75×10; Drop sets: 55×15; 50×10; 45×5

Abdominals:

Ab crunch: 40×12; 50×12; 65×12; 80×12; 95×12; 40×50;

Cardio:

Cardio 20 minutes – Hill Program – Level 5

Have a great day folks!

See you tomorrow!

Dave
