Today was my first day using the Optimal Anabolics workout methodology. In a nutshell, it involves working out the body in a certain specific order. It involves very controlled form on the exercises. I am supposed to do 2 seconds on the positive part of the motion and 4 seconds on the negative part of the motion, no locking out or stopping at either end of the motion.
Today's workout involved my shoulders. I did the following workout (all supersets):
Front lateral raise (ss)
20×12; 25×10; 30×8
Arnold Press (ss)
45×12; 50×10; 55×8
Rear lateral raise (ss)
20×12; 25×10; 25×8
Side lateral raise (ss)
DB Shrug (ss)
65×12; 65×10; 65×8
BB Military Press (ss)
75×12; 85×10; 95×8
I wonder at times if I work my shoulders correctly (ie. with enough intensity) because I rarely “feel” them after a shoulder workout. This time was no different. Yes, during the workout I felt as though I was getting a great workout, but later in the day I didn't feel them. I am going to focus on that intensity next week to see if I can push myself harder.
It is still strange taking in so much fat (albeit good fat).
