Round 4: Day 29 - Diamond Delts

Inverted Pike Presses are hard...Lucky for me Tony thought doing 4 sets would be hilarious.

Today's workout is the first of phase two this round.  It's a week of all new workouts to help us keep from plateauing and to keep making gains.  Today's workout was from Tony's One on One series, Diamond Delts.  True to its name ("delts" is of course "deltoids"), this workout isolates the shoulders and burns them out nicely. 

It was a relatively short workout, about 40 minutes, but gave the shoulders a nice workout.  We're still considering whether or not this will stay in the rotation or if we want to switch this with a workout that exercises a few more muscle groups. 

I like isolating a muscle group every now and then, but not at the expense of missing out on other stuff, like biceps, back, chest and triceps.  Right now isolating the shoulders is good for me particularly because I'm training pretty hard in the pool and swimming takes a lot of shoulder work.  We also have some other workouts this week that hit those muscles, so we'll see.
