We had another overnight snowstorm in Boston. While it was just a few additional inches of accumulation, it had the usual impact on commuters and hence the gym was sparsely populated this morning.

My gym didn’t really have a January rush this year. I guess that is a reflection of the economy in the city! My trainer told me that his business was only 60% of last year’s business. The gym management sent out an offer to members – if you train 8 times in February, they will give you a voucher for $100 of services. That would buy a good extended session sports massage.

Today I trained on my own – focused on shoulders and traps. All DB and BB sets done with 90 seconds rest, all machine sets done with 75 seconds rest. It was a good workout, time flew by.

Arnold Presses – 45dbx3x8( failed on last rep)
Upright row – 75x3x8 (I use an ez curl bar as it reduces wrist tension)
Military Press – 95x8, 100x6, 105x4
Shrugs – 75dbx3x8 followed by Farmers walk 30 yards
Front raise – 17.5dbx3x8 (failed on last)
Lateral raise – 17.5dbx3x8
Rear Delt Machine – 100x3x8
Bicep drop set 45,40,35,30,25,20,15 each set at 4 to 6 reps as long as the form was perfect. Once I lost form I dropped and moved on.
Triceps drop set (machine) 85,70,60,50,40,30,20 8 reps per set.
Fore arms – reverse curls – 40x3x8
