Shoulders and Arms, Y'all!

Happy Friday, y'all! I haven't shared a workout or video in a while, so here goes! This is from last night's workout. I did a modified shoulder routine and a set of calf raises, then transitioned into a concise, intense arm workout of superset exercises,, Enjoy!

Shoulders:
3-4 warm up sets of lateral raises

Lateral Raises 5 sets, 12-14 reps each (forst 3 sets I did seated , 15 lbs; second 2 were standing, 20 lbs DB)

Front Raises 3 sets, 12-14 reps (10 lb DB)

Rear Delt Machine Fly
4 sets, 12 reps (Worked up to 130 lbs on last set)

Superset:
Standing Calf Raises (machine) 4 sets, 20 reps
Upright Rows 4 sets, 12 reps
(2 sets: narrow grip - 60 lb loaded EZ Curl Bar; 2 sets wide grip - 30 lb loaded EZ Curl Bar)

(sorry in advance for the shaky video.. :-/)





ARMS!
These are groups of supersets:
SuperSet #1  3 x 10-12
Cable Str8 Arm Pushdown (100-110 lbs)
DB Concentration Curls (25 lb)

SuperSet #2 - 3 sets
Rope Pushdowns (12 reps, 80-90 lbs --- Last set is a triple drop set- 90, 60, 30 lbs - 8 reps each)
Loaded EZ Curl Bar - 21's

SuperSet #3 - 3 x 10-12
Preacher Curls (30-40 lb loaded bar)
Overhead Cable Rope Pulls (40-50 lbs)

SuperSet #4 - 4 sets 15 reps (last set of each is a "run the rack" drop: 5 reps at each weight)
(triceps) one arm reverse pulldowns (20-30 for working sets; drop started at 60 lbs)
(biceps) one arm cable curls (20-30 for working sets; drop started at 60 lbs)

Note: Because of the shoulder issue, I had to self spot -- meaning, I had to use my non-working arm to stabilize my working arm)
