Shoulder Sunday Funday

Despite some pretty interesting forearm pain shoulders were pretty fun today.  Today is the last day of my training week, it's generally shoulder with some optional accessory work.  Generally triceps and if I'm feeling froggy some biceps, but I still feel I work them enough with rows.  Since I started in receiving at work with all the truck unloading and box opening I've been having some pretty bad forearm/wrist pain that flares up randomly.  Fortunately today began my, lets see, it's been called transfer/promotion/upgrade, however I like the term "graduation" that a dude I work with uses so that's what I'm going with.  Anyhoo, hopefully not having to unload 500+ boxes and open another 150 will cause some of those flareups to, uh... flare out!  Oscar Wylde like wordplay there.  Since I have heavy deadlifts and heavy bench this week my shoulders were mostly for the dreaded reps and mostly accessory moments to increase blood flow and what not.  Great video on it by Dave Tate that everyone should watch.  I'll link that down below but I assume anyone reading this has already seen it or heard me talk about it.  Today was some nice Hammer Strength incline/shoulder presses(as much as it pains me to say it, I love that machine), rear delt flies, then some straight bar triceps press downs and a move I've come to call Gerry Extensions, since a dude named Gerry was the first person I ever paid attention to doing them.  Felt good and as much as I don't really train for a pump I left with a pretty awesome pump today and it felt good.   That's enough for today I think.
