Head and Shoulders

Well - actually today was a shoulders workout. It consisted of:
Overhead Press - 105x8 (4 min rest)
Dumbbell Lateral Raise - 20x10 followed by Overhead Press - 100 x 8 (4 min rest)
Dumbbell Lateral Raise - 20x8 followed by Overhead Press - 95 x 7 (1 min rest)
Overhead Press - 85x7 (4 min rest)
Cable Upright Rows - 60x12 (2 min rest)
Cable Upright Rows - 70x12 (2 min rest)
Cable Upright Rows - 90x12 (done)

The overhead presses were tough today. I haven't worked out since about 2nd week in December and since then was hit with the flu and Christmas baking.

It felt great to be back at the gym although there were some trouble spots. First up was my inability to hit a minimum of 8 reps on the overhead press during two of the sets. Second was trying to find the appropriate cable upright row weight. I'll have to go to 110 next time and see what happens.

The third trouble spot? People!! So many people there. Thankfully I was still able to get access to my equipment that I required but wow. I have to laugh a little though - some people definitely need it but are hitting it hard. Been there done that. Doesn't work. Reintroduce yourself and then kick some ass. Don't try and kick some ass but instead end up kicking your own ass and doing away with your New Year Resolution within the first month. Oh well - their problem I guess.

Later on tonight or tomorrow I'll post what I had to eat today. So far, it's been going great!
