Shoulder Workout + Basketball Shootaround

Shoulder Workout + Basketball Shootaround

Made it to the gym today for a lunchtime workout. I did sitting overhead dumbbell press, standing dumbbell raises, machine assisted sitting overhead press, and shrugs.

After lifting shoulders I decided to head to the basketball court for a bit of work on cardio and coordination. After airballing everything I finally started getting in a groove and even hit 4 in a row from 3pt line at one point.

Shoulder Workout + Basketball Shootaround + 800 Meters of Swimming

Shoulder Workout + Basketball Shootaround + 800 Meters of Swimming

Sara and I went to the Boston Sports Club on a fine Easter afternoon for a nice logn workout. While she swam the entire time, I started out by lifting shoulders for about 35 minutes. I did standing dumbbell raises, sitting overhead dumbbell raises, shrugs, straight arm plate lifts, and machine assisted shoulder press. Afterwards I decided to try and keep my coordination with a bit of basketball. My shoulders and arms were fairly tired from lifting, so the shooting was not a pretty sight. I then decided to head to the pool to meet up with Sara.

I ended up swimming at 800 meters, including 2 different instances of swimming 100 meters without stopping (a first for me!). I mostly stuck with freestyle as Sara was teaching me the proper technique for a flipturn, but I also learned quite a bit about the form in backstroke from her as well. After all was said and done I headed back to the locker room for the steam room and shower.

Lunchtime Shoulder Workout

Shoulder Workout at the Gym

Hit my favorite place, Today's Fitness in Burlington, MA for a shoulder workout at lunchtime today. I wanted to get in a decent lifting workout with all the running I have been doing lately and today was a good opportunity with no scheduled meetings between 11am - 2pm. I only went from about 12-1, but it's always a pain rushing right to the gym after a meeting or rushing back to catch the start of one.

I started off in the free weight area with some stretching after I dropped a 10 pound plate because my hands were slippery! My first exercise were standing shoulder dumbbell raises of 25-20-15-10. I then did sitting overhead shoulder dumbbell raises of 35-40-45. I also did dumbbell shrugs of 55-65-75 lbs. Afterwards, I did long bar lat raises of 50-55-60. I finished the day off with machine assisted overhead press of 65-75-85.

Not great in terms of weight, but I did get the work in and feel good about it.

Lunch-time Shoulder Workout

Made it to the gym again at lunch-time, this time for a shoulder workout. After changing and stretching out, I did 25-15-10 lb dumbbell standing shoulder raises, 60-70-80lb shoulder shrugs, 135-145-135 sitting overhead bench, 65-75-80 on shoulder long bar raises. Not a bad workout for 40 minutes.
