Gironda 8x8- Shoulders & Traps..

DB Bent-Over Laterals - 25lbs*

Lying Reverse Seal Swings - 25lbs*

Seated Snatches - 25lbs*


*Triset (alternated all three exercises with a 15 seconds rest in between each set)


Delt Sweeps - 4x8 @  35lbs

Reverse Iron Cross Push Ups - 4x8 


Delt “sweeps” work well for high reps in metabolic stress fashion: The execution is really important. On the lifting side, it's really a pull back – as if you were doing a face pull and lateral raise hybrid. With the supporting arm you're going to be pushing slightly as you lift with the other arm. (It's not a one-arm upright row motion.)

If you get this right you'll feel it big time in the lateral delt and even some posterior delt and traps. Start light and play around with it until you can feel the contraction.


Reverse Iron Cross Pushups: Lie face up on the floor with your arms outstretched. Your knees should be bent. Now push into the floor with your forearms to bring your torso off the floor. Lower and repeat.
