I fear for his college life next year when I won't be the one to wake him. He's slept through every alarm on his phone, whether it's right under his head or across the room. My version of waking him is to pull his covers off and turn on the lights. It works...
There are fewer people at the gym today, probably because it's Thursday. After pedaling through cardio, I plop myself down on a mat in the Aerobics Room. Today there's Zumba at 9:30, taught by not gym owner. No pull-ups today. My abs are a wee bit sore, but the front right delt feels iffy. Rotating arms in large circles is usually okay but today it's not. And the following movement, rotating just shoulders forward tiny circles and backward tiny circles is also not painless. Because these movements are after planks and push-ups, I'm not concerned. Until I'm on the bench doing Skull Crushers and Rip Skulls. I'm surprised and slightly worried now.
Skull Crushers are fine. The elbows get a little stressed toward the last reps. However, Rip Skulls put a strain on the right anterior delt today, especially when I raise my outstretched arms over my face and down past the top of my head. After the second set, I replace that movement with another set of Skull Crushers. The elbows complain a little but not as much as that one delt. Tomorrow I'll probably just do cardio, core and pull-ups. And I'm going to rethink those arm circles...
