All these chores and a good workout too. That's really impressive.

My daughter reseeded out back yard lawn area. Unfortunately she buried the seed too deep under peat moss and so the are still some bare areas. Between the moles digging and the dogs peeing, they pretty much destroyed this lawn last summer and fall. This is a last ditch effort. If the lawn starts looking like crap again, I'm going to put in fake grass. It's an expensive proposition, but once it's in, the maintenance costs are zilch.

3D delt construction plan

- 8 giant sets of seated DB presses, seated lateral DB raises & standing rear DB raises
- 1 triple drop down set of machine presses with a 30 sec weighted stretch between the drops (pretty painful)

You mean 3 giant sets? I might do the same when my gym had Hammer equipment.
Gym was packed today with 'beach boys' so I took a bench in the corner with some DB pairs and plugged in my ear phones for a good focus.

thank God we have a Holiday on Monday. should have been off today but worked. Anyway, i did Shoulders + arms.

Tri set: Front, side, Back raises 4 sets
Seated BB press 4 sets

Decline EZ Bar extensions 4 sets
Incline EZ Bar extensions 4 sets

incline Steve Reeves curls 4 sets
