Getting ready for my rest day from the weights tomorrow I decided to go heavy on my shoulders and triceps. I mixed in some forearm wrist rolls as well but it was nothing fancy, just lifting big weights. Plain old "Vanilla".
Today's quote is from Cal Ripken Jr.:
"I don't mind be described as vanilla in certain ways."
Weight Training: "Vanilla" Shoulders and Triceps. Three sets of 6-8 repetitions unless otherwise stated.
Seated Dumbbell Shoulder Press
Lateral Dumbbell Raise
Alternating Front Dumbbell Raise
Dumbbell Triceps Kickbacks
Overhead Triceps Extensions
Heavy Barbell Push Press, Three sets of 5, 3 and 1 repetition
Barbell Skull Crushers
Barbell Shoulder Shrugs
Fat Grip Forearm Roll-Ups
Abdominal Crunches, 100 repetitions
Have a Great Day!
Thirty-two years ago today Cal Ripken Jr. started his 2632 consecutive game streak which ended on
September 20th, 1998. Today's leg workout will forever be named "Cal" after baseball's Iron Man. A champion, an all-star and a guy that avoided getting caught up in the steroid era of baseball.
Today's quote is of course from Cal Ripken Jr.:
"When you're an athlete and you play every day and are conditioning yourself every year, the aging is gradual."
