Monday Workout.

Preface:
Generally its a good idea to work the larger muscle groups first and work your way to the smaller... its also a good idea to do your compound movements first (exercises which engage more than one muscle and joint)... but tonight I decided to see what would happen if I did bicep excercises before shoulder. My shoulders were MUCH weaker tonight than they were last week, due in part to the change in order. Shoulder Death (which I did sets of 10,8,8 last week) was the most noteable - I was only able to do sets of 8,6,6 this week with the same weight. In any case... its fun to experiment - as always YMMV.

Arms/Shoulders:
Bicep Curl 21s - 10#dbs x3 (21s are 7 reps of bottom half curl, 7 reps of top half curl, 7 reps of full range of motion... no rest between, that is one set)
Hammer Curls - 10#dbs x10,10,8
Shoulder Press - 20#dbs x10,8,6
Shoulder Death (tm) - 7.5#dbs x8,6,6 (barely)
Tricep Press - 15#db x12,12,10

Went for a 2 mile walk with the neighbor, the kids (her two and my two) and the dogs (her husky, our golden). It was a good walk, with a stop for kids to play in the fountain at the park in the middle... but nothing strenuous.

I am, however, currently wearing the BEST BATHROBE EVER! Mike got it for me for my birthday and it is microfiber on the outside and terry on the inside, and heavy and warm and DE-FUCKING-LICIOUS!!! We fell in love with these robes when we stayed at a very nice historic hotel in Jackson, WY on the way out here, and Mike tracked one down for me for my birthday. I'm also sucking down a creamsickle (OJ+Vanilla Whey Protein Powder+Creatine) and it is fantastically nummy too.
