Weekends are not for resting.

Because of wood bat league softball on Thursday night (2 games), and parenting duties on Friday (took Liam trick or treating downtown Appleton), I was unable to workout either day.  So that left me Saturday and Sunday to get my shoulder and back days in.
Saturday morning, I dropped Jake off at the bus to go to final game of the season.  Unfortunately he did not get to play because of the concussion he suffered the week before, but I was proud of him for going to support his team.  So, I hit the gym at 8am, and went through my shoulder routine.  I started with the clean and press, which honestly is becoming my favorite exercise.  It is a great total body workout. My last set ended at 115, so next week I will try a plate.  I can clean a plate no problem, but pressing it may prove to be difficult.  Next was the military press.  I used dumbbells for doing the military press.  I started with 35's, and did my last set with 50's.  I then proceeded over to upright row, which again, I only got to 95 on my last set, but on a good note, I was mixing in shrugs between upright row sets.  I finished up my workout with triceps exercises, which I have stopped hitting directly, but I had time, and I wanted to get some extra work in on them.  I just did some pulldowns, and then burned it out with the rope.  All in all, it was a good workout.  I do need to step up my cardio and ab routine though.
Sunday wasn't much different.  The Y opens at 11, so I headed in to rip my back up.  I started with pull-ups, another one of my favorites.  The first 15 I do with body weight alone.The next 5 with a 10lb weight, and the last 5 with a 25lb weight.  My next exercise is the bent over row.  This exercise still provides some difficulty for me, from a form standpoint.  I did do my last set at 205, but I really could feel it in my lower back. I then finished my back off with dead lifts.  I finished at 225, and my lower back was cashed.  I finished up my workout with doing some bicep work.  I started with straight bar curls, and finished my last set at 105.  I then went to preacher curls, and ended my last set at 75.  This workout went relatively well, but I need to add more to my back routine.
This morning, Brandon and I did some skill training.  Mostly just running routes and catching. I am more and more impressed with Brandon every time we go to do skill training.  His hands get better and better, and my body just gets worse and worse.  I have an issue with my throwing arm.  Every time I throw a ball with everything I got, I have a sharp pain from the delt through the top of my bicep.  I can never seem to stretch it enough.  I can short arm all my throws, and it's fine, but when I try and really throw one, it is painful.

So, I normally try and post these daily, but I had other things going on this weekend, so I had some making up to do this morning.  Chest day today, i'm looking forward to it.
