Sunday - shoulders/arms (& akbars) ...

All sets basically to failure...

Hang Power Clean and Press
  • 1 x 7 x 115
  • 1 x 4 x 135
  • 1 x 12 x 90
Preacher Curl
  • 1 x 5 x 95
  • 1 x 2 x 95
  • Standing power curls -- 1 x 7 x 95
  • 1 x 13 x 55
Bodyweight Dips
  • 10
  • 9
  • 5
(These should have been way more but the front of my shoulders were zapped and it was a real strain on them for these.)

Finished up with some heavy tricep press downs and a few sets of DB raises (to finish off the front, lateral and back delts).

Weigh in : 181

NOTE: I log this the next day and boy oh boy are my traps blasted. I LOVE IT. Sore-as-hell akbars are one of my fav feelings for some reason. Anyway, I think this is either b/c I worked through a ridiculous hangover and with the insane amount of booze from the night before, I might have been pumping too much alcohol/toxin into my muscle via this workout, OR b/c Power Cleans are really just the #1 TrapDaddy exercise. The other day when I intentionally honed in on the Akbars I didn't feel anything the next day.

Conclusion: Since Clean/Press is gonna be my main go-to shoulder exercise, do trappies and delts on same days (other trappy movements being upright rows -- or SDLHP -- and shrugs).

Note 2 -- Monday, rest day... that's how cooked the Aks wuz
