What a great name for my weightlifting program, “Throwing Iron”. That’s what it feels like when I do the push. Anyway…
Today I went back to my usual workout.
2 days ago I did the standard, more of a shoulder press, then curls, then rows (I know, they should be in reverse order to be standard sequence), then push ups.
Slight muscle pull in the next today but it may’ve been my sleep position last night.
I barely lifted yesterday, just two shoulder press-throws…. or were they throws? Damn, I should’ve noted that to see which is worse, throws or presses.
Today it was throws. I wish I had it on camera. I feel so old school but it’s probably just an exaggeration in my head. I curl it up, if I can’t lift it to shoulder height I slightly swing it, and I coil down and throw the weight up (while keeping it in my hand, I hope that’s obvious), and then I hold.
Usually I do not straighten up; I stay bent slightly to the side as I hold it up overhead.
Then I let it down to shoulder, then waist height, and pass the weight to the other hand.
Do on each side a few times. Do not release the weight for several minutes – there is no putting it down and resting. It’s a several minute long constant pressure workout with intermittent high intensity.
Finish with a sprint, preferably after a live animal like a deer, your dog, or your girlfriend (give her a head start; she’ll think she’ll have a better chance of getting away; foiling her notions is half the fun!).
If I feel more neck twinges tomorrow then I’ll have to modfiy the throw-lift style. Damn, it feels so much better the ol’ throw style.
