Having fully recovered from the week’s training schedule I was ready for a good shoulder workout today. The weights, as with all shoulder workouts, need to come right down - which is different from when you exercise other muscle groups. This is necessary due to the lack of day-to-day use of these muscles. Basically the shoulders are used to lift items upwards up to and beyond shoulder level. As this is a movement that I do not use regularly during the day it is a particular weak point as it is with the majority of people in non manual jobs.

Today’s Workout

This was quite an experience as it has been a very long time since I have used a barbell to do an overhead press and it was this particular exercise that I found most challenging and also enjoyed the most. The other shoulder exercises resulted in my usual gym facial expressions: sucking my face in so tight that it looked like the end of a balloon. (Yes, I didn’t like to say anything, but people were staring – Beeble). I don’t know what it is about ab exercises but when they start to hurt it has me in hysterics. No other exercise has this reaction with me but after a few sets of stomach exercises I resemble an injured hyena more than the “no pain no gain” strong minded trainer that I should be.
