Sunday 2/9 - Shoulders & Traps. Feeling: enthused and strong
When I got to the gym, both racks where I usually do standing ohp were occupied, so I decided to do seated ohp for a change.

Shoulders were pretty pumped after that.

Dumbbell Lateral Raises:
Drop sets, no rest...

Rest 2 minutes, then again:
30 x 5, 25 x 5, 20 x 5, 15 x 5, 12.5 x 5, 10 x 6
65 minutes. 19 sets if I count the drop sets as one big set.
It snowed 2 inches in the 90 minutes that I was in the gym. The streets were slick as snot on glass (as my father would have said), and three blocks from home my car slid into a snow bank left by the plows from the 10 inches earlier in the week. Totally stuck. My winter emergency shovel was not in my trunk for some reason, so I walked home to get a shovel and walked back. I spent about 20 minutes shoveling out around the car when a good-deed-doer came by in a big 4WD with a chain and pulled me out. So I got home and spent another 45 minutes shoveling the driveway. I know, shoveling 2 inches of snow may seems unnecessary, but our driveway is a pretty good slope and this stuff was seriously slippery.
