Easter, Hoping for Rain and Shoulder Work Ahead

Well, Happy Easter to all of the folks out there that celebrate it. Easter always makes me feel like spring has actually arrived. The past few days here in Tucson have been overcast with even a few sprinkles of rain. Like all of the western United States, we definitely need it. All reports are that we can expect higher than average rainfall from this year's monsoon. We will see.

Today is a day that I am going to work the triceps and the shoulders, but I am putting an emphasis on the shoulders with heavy weights and low repetitions. It is work that often shows little gain because the muscle groups are so small compared to say the squat or deadlift. Celebrate modest gains in these exercises.

Today's quote is from John Wooden:

"It's the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen."
