Day 4/ Deadlifts

Since I was using the same weights for the Adductors/ Abductors and for Leg Curls, I alternated the sets. But eventually, I am sure I will be using more weight for the Leg Curls, so I won’t be able to keep doing that. But it did save some time for now.

Saturday – 3/31/18

Shoes: Adidas AdiPower lifting shoes.

Bars: Heavy Duty Power Bar, Dumbbell Bars, Curl Bar.

Doing laterals is proving to be too much, as my shoulders are starting to feel overtrained. Therefore, I am going to stop them and move my rotator cuff work to here from Day 1. Rotator cuff work takes less time than laterals, so that should shorten both workouts, both of which have been taking a tad too long.
