01 Jun Tucker Loken – Week 3 – deload shoulders

I’m currently doing week 3 of our powerbuilding experiment. I’ve deloaded the Big 3 lifts as per the usual 10/20/life plan, and the hypertrophy days will be a little bit different.

Usually I’ll start a hypertrophy day with a multi-jointed movement (in the case of shoulder day it would be overhead pressing), but in order to take stress off the joints and facilitate good recovery I started with some pre exhuast isolation movements, and then finished with some very light high rep work on the compound movements.

10/20/warmup –

bird dogs, stir the pot, McGill crunches – 3 sets

Standing calf raises 3×15,12,10

Seated calf raises 3×15,12,10

Side raises superset with front raises 4×15,12,10,8

Reverse pec deck superset with face pulls 3×15,12,10

Bent over rear delt raises superset with upright rows

Dumbbell shoulder press 3×12 – All done light. Normally I would do a barbell movement but I’m still nursing an elbow injury and the bars bother it.

Machine shoulder press 2×20 – Getting some good blood flow to the area without stressing the CNS.

Boom. In and out. Eat, rest, Recover, and get ready for next week cause everything’s getting turned up!
