Warm-Up Circuit and Heavy Shoulders

Today we had our first mini-circuit of the season to warm-up before a heavy shoulder and triceps lifting day. One of the interns for the fall season here wanted to join in, so it was nice to have an additional person in on the workout. After lifting in the 100 degree heat it was nice to sit in the shaded swimming pool to bring the body core temperature back to something resembling normal.

Today's quote is from Christopher Reeve:

"Either you decide to stay in the shallow end of the pool or you go into the ocean."
