Dani's Rebel Log

:fire: Upper Body (Fueled with Igniter) :fire:

Woke up with achy shoulders, so I had to start today’s workout with some banded arm drills:

  • No Money Drill
  • Overhead Raise Drill

Within the first set of these, I developed a shoulder pump. Yay!

  • Machine Chest Press

I need to figure out some better shoulder-friendly chest exercises because this was not great. It forces you into a pronated grip and the strength curve makes no sense. Might as well have done a conventional bench press.

  • Lat Pulldown

Super controlled reps, moderate load.

  • Trap Bar Loaded Carry + Push-Up (superset)

Loaded carries are the best. Probably didn’t need the push-ups though considering the shoulder irritation. Lesson learned.

  • Alternating Curl

I started with a one-minute isometric hold and then did a few sets of alternating curls with a mechanical drop set into hammer curls. Arms got huge.

And another thing…

Anyone else see the Sturgeon Moon a couple nights ago? Here’s an unimpressive iphone picture to show you how it didn’t look.
