Shoulders, Triceps and the Return of the Odd Object

I was feeling fantastic today so I thought I would bring back the Atlas Stone. Moving weight with perfectly balanced barbells like my Rogue Power Bar are one thing and there is a lot of benefit to traditional weight training. But, manipulating something like a stone is more realistic to the everyday type lifting that a person may do. Mixing in odd objects into your lifting routine is a great way to break up the monotony.

Today's quote is from Robert Frost:

"Let him that is without stone among you cast the first thing he can lay his hands on."

Weight Training: Shoulders and Triceps. Three sets of 6-8 repetitions unless otherwise stated.
Seated Heavy Dumbbell Shoulder Press
Side Dumbbell Shoulder Raise
Alternating Front Dumbbell Raise
Captains of Crush Grip Trainers
Triceps Dumbbell Kickbacks
Overhead Dumbbell Triceps Extensions
Diamond Triceps Pushups
Atlas Stone Overhead Press, 3x5
Heavy Barbell Shoulder Shrugs
Barbell Triceps Skullcrushers
Barbell Push Press, 3 sets of 10, 3, 3 repetitions
Abdominal Crunches

Have a Great Day!!
