DAY 19:SHOULDERS & ABS

We’re working my favorite body part—shoulders. The reason I say it’s my favorite body part is because it’s a weakness of mine, and I have injuries in that muscle group. I like turning my weaknesses into weapons. We’ll be hitting all three heads of the delts with today’s giant sets.

For the first of these, I start with barbell presses because this move is more comfortable for me. It does put the rotator cuff under a lot of strain for most people. Choose another first move if this one stresses your shoulders—barbell presses to the front or seated dumbbell presses are options. Then I include dumbbell lateral raises to build the middle head of my delts. The third exercise of this giant set is dumbbell rear delt flyes to hit the posterior head of the delts.

I like to start my giant sets with heavy compound movements such as barbell presses and machine dumbbell raises (the first exercise in my second giant set) when I’m at my strongest to release as much testosterone as possible. Then I hit isolation moves that target the other heads of my delts.

Note my form on decline cable sit-ups. I’m targeting my upper abs, but I think I chose a bench that’s too steep. You want to make sure you can perform every rep and set. I had to adjust and drop the weights altogether and just do the reps, targeting my upper abs. That’s a crucial point: do the sets and reps. Adjust to make certain you complete your workout.
