Wedding last night. Probably not training today, and working tomorrow and the gym has limited hours, so no training either, just running. I guess maybe I can come up with an ab routine to do at home.. Maybe I will go to the park and see if I can do a real pull up. I am terrified to try at the gym, i do not want anyone to see me....

Wow, I went to my first competition today and feel like a wideload. UGH.

Today ran 5.6 miles
Shoulder Day

Dumbbell Overhead Presses: 20x16, 25x12, 80x8x3

Deltoid Triad (Superset of Lateral Raises, Front Raises, & Dumbbell Overheads):
Laterals: 10x10x5
Fronts: 10x10x5
Presses: 20x12x5

Then made a fool of myself trying to figure out how to use this machine, that basically lets u do lateral raises with bent arms:
5lbsx16, 10x10, 15x3(failed), 10x8, 5x16. I dont think I was doing this currently as I was really struggling. I dont like this machine and wont use it again, I have plenty of other shoulder exercises up my sleeve.

Isolateral shoulder Press: 25 (each side)x16, 30x12, 35x10x3
