Day 5

Today is a shoulder and tricep day.  I like mixing these two muscle group together because you use your tricep in a few shoulder exercises, but not as much as chest exercises so you're not as burned out when you get to your tricep exercises.  Be sure to do a ton of warm up sets with shoulders because it is a body part that is easily injured when lifting.  


Our first exercise was my favorite exercise, the military shoulder press.  We did 3 sets of that and I did a drop set on the last set.  The second exercise we did was side raises and we super set it with front raises.  These are especially tough for me because my shoulders get sore and burn out really quickly.  Pushing yourself through pain is key when working out.  If you can't then you'll have to learn and work your way up.  Our fourth exercise was cable extensions and we super set that with dips.  You probably won't be able to do as many dips, but do as many as possible.  Our final 2 exercises were tricep cable extensions and overhead rope extensions super set.  Tomorrow will be another rest day.
