good shoulder workout. first one in a while. Good start. Will be working one body part per session fro a while. Working out daily less than 45 min with the exception of legs and back 

day 1 shoulders

day 2 back 

day 3 big calve workout, abs

day 4 chest

day 6 legs 

day 7 biceps/triceps/forarms

day 8 neck, traps, abs and calves 

day 9 lower back and hamstrings. If deadlifting do it on this day. Dont do this afer shoulder day because traps will be sore from shoulders. Its good to rest after a deadlift day too. 

day 10 rest


Okay 24 hours after my shoulder workout my traps are the most sore with almost no sorness in the deltoids.

My upper back is sore if I squeeze my shoulder blades together so I think I feel that mostly in my lower traps. My upper traps are very sore.  I think that is from the strap rows and the laterals that didnt come up high.
