lent day 37 - shoulder w/o + onion soup

no chocolate

no crisps

shoulder workout as follows -

5 x 5l/5r 6kg club torch press

6 x 6l/6r 16kg kbell military press

5 x 10l/10r 6kg club frontal arm cast

this was a great session - all reps were 100% strict - no momentum involved shoulders feel like 2 big melons (shame they only look like 2 oranges!)

also spent the evening making onion soup inspired by "the swing" - boiled the chicken carcass and some herbs and made some rich stock then cooked the onions - combined the 2 and added some of the meat stripped from the chicken and cant wait til lunch tomorrow! rest in the freezer for another time

half the stock left over for making saturday soup which consists of emptying the fridge into a pot and cooking before we go shopping for next weeks food - it make for gooooood soup

thats all sng

like this quote - need to live by it though!

the difference between "who you are" and "who you want to be" is "what you do"

shoulders today, what to do??

today is shoulder work out - not sure what to do - last week went a little like this -

5 x 10 l/r 6kg club torch press

5 x 5 l/r military press

5 x 10 l/r club swipes

which left me with tender front delts - only thing was the torch press left me very weak for the military press - so should i do the military press first?? then the torch press or do i just concentrate on the military press for higher reps and drop the torch this week? decisions to make ..... will follow whatever i do with some club work, but again i will see how fried my shoulders are before moving onto the club and deciding which exercise to do

sledgehammer swings/waiter walks

tuesdays workout as follows -

10 sets sledgehammer swings tabata style 40/20 - +-34 swings per set

5 x 16kg 120ft waiter walks l/r

found the waiter walks very difficult today after the sledgehammer swings - shoulders felt weak and not necessarily in the socket??!

this was ok and seems to be the exact opposite of kettlebell swings - hopefully getting some balance in the work out.

tomorrow is swing tracy style - cant wait
