Up at 4:30 AM and into the gym by 5:55. I did my warm up and then Bernard and I got started on an arms & shoulders workout.

Even though the weights were low, this was still a tough workout because we did everything close together and at a fast pace so muscle fatigue set in pretty quickly. I was surprised on the shoulder press that my right side felt weaker than my left; usually it is the other way around. I’m doing arm and shoulder workouts once a week, like everything else, but I think maybe I’m mixing in a little too much chest and back with these workouts and not focusing enough on arms and shoulders. This was a good arm/shoulder workout and I’ll use this as a reference in the future, making sure to mix in more of these kinds of things.
Cardio tomorrow morning. My next workout with Bernard is next Thursday afternoon.
