OMG...My shoulders haven't felt like this in, well about a year and a half I suppose-that was the last time John trained me. He started training me on Saturdays back in February of 2008 for my first comp.
Well, the good news is I am stronger now than I was 2 years ago! We were both quite amazed. Though I train shoulders regularly-I don't PUSH myself as hard as I can with John standing there to catch the weights if they fall. (You all know what I'm talkin''bout here!) So, I haven't done any real max outs and wasn't really aware of any strength gains.
I am pretty much the same weight that I was in Feb of 2007-the only difference really is that I'm not drinking now. This is the only thing that we can really put our finger on as to my increased strength. So, there ya' go!
Here is what we did:
5 sets of military presses w/barbell 8-12 reps
3 sets of 3 cycles of 3 alternating front straight arm db raises super 3 lateral flys all slow (ends up being about 3 sets of 18 reps)
5 sets of 12 bent over flys
Finished w/arnolds 10 then 8 w/lighter weight...5 sets of that
Onward! Comp prep is on! 19 weeks from tomorrow I step onto the Townsville ANB stage, and 20 weeks from today ANB Asia Pacific. BRING IT!
Is your game on?! Why not? What on earth are you waiting for?!
2010 Sexy Fit Bitch!
Ciao for Now!

Get it girl! I too am amazed at how much more I can do with my trainer right there. I try to imagine Jay is in my house when I workout now, because that makes me not stop....
Awesome work Raechelle! You must be stoked. Keep up the great work and keep motivated! :P
