Still not doing legs yet since I have a big ride this weekend, so I did shoulders instead. I did 4 exercises: alternating cable overhead presses, side lateral machine, front cable raises, and rear delt machine. I got a pretty good pump from keeping up with the explosive reps and focusing on speed. No free weights today. Cables and machines don't get enough credit, but they do work. The intensity starts from the bottom of the movement, one can focus less on using other auxiliary muscles and apply all the intensity to the target muscle and it's easier to add or drop weight as needed, which promotes even more intensity. They get it done.
I wanted to get a lunch ride in today since I've been off the bike since Saturday. I skipped yesterday just because I didn't think it would be dry enough where it would be safe and/or clean...hate when the bike gets too dirty. Ha ha. I again jumped on the spin bike yesterday and worked the high intensity off the seat training, which I hope will help for this weekend. If I can't get out today to get a ride in given it seems even more wet today than yesterday (at least at my house), I'll probably opt to spin again. I don't know if I'll do the off-the-seat training again, but I may. I'm hoping it will be dry enough to ride outside.
