    I love uprights great way to fuck your shoulders up (in a good way) DBs are great to less strain on the delts.

    I've only done them once, but they feel very weird. I don't know how else to describe them. It feels like a bunch of muscles that don't normally get worked together are getting worked together. That's my first impression, at least.

    And like Pylon said, they'll beat the crap out of your delts. They're certainly easier on the wrists. I also think they give you a much better ROM.

    Thanks all. Hmm...I feel like I might be dodging a bullet if I skip that TP-PT article...

    As far as the rows, I like the db version, but it took a few reps to get the motion down. It felt better for me to start with them touching and pull them up and apart.

    Burner - are you using a straight bar? That bothered my wrists too. I switched to the ez-curl bar for them, and they felt great.

    Hey all -

    Day off yesterday, missed the w/out today because of work. We got the official word today that our boss is out as the result of "department restructuring." Also, the "restructuring" is still underway, and they hope to let us know some time soon what the new world order will be. But no promises.

    Played our last Thursday games tonight. Lost both ends of the double. First game was well played and very close. Second was just for fun. We drew positiions from a hat each inning. The pitching rule was that if you walked 2, we rotated the infield.

    So, I got to pitch for the first time ever. Put in 2 2/3 scorelss, 4 strikeouts. I was as surprised as anyone, but it's good to know I can do it if I have to.

    How in the world did you get 4 Ks out of 8 outs? Were you playing at night without lights or did the batters have to bat with their eyes closed?

    This is slow pitch, right?

    Well, technically three were foul outs, but one was a K looking. They were at the point that they weren't gong to swing until there was a strike, since we were rotating pitchers. That would have been, except I seem to be able to hit the mat pretty well.

    I've found myself backsliding a little the last few days. It could be worse, but the whole work situation has got me down a bit.

    Monday, my plan is to present a package to my "new" boss (while waiting to find out what the new structure will be) that will include the last round of talent management notes and the annual reviews of the team that were done early this year. I figure anything I can do to get information into his hands is a plus. I really don't want them changing a lot of our environment without at least knowing a little about the team.

    I also have a late game Monday night, so I might try to get to the gym at lunch for cardio and lifting after work.

    Another crap week in the making. Just too bogged down (and just plain down, I suppose) with work to be very effective. Broke the cycle a bit today by dragging my sorry (and increasingly large) ass to the gym for cardio. Did HIIT on the bike. Wasn't bad, but not great.

    I'm headed to Baltimore Sunday, so I'll try to keep active up to and through the trip.

    Just back form Baltimore. Good trip, ate more than I should, no workouts at all. What a slug.

    Back at the office, got to the gym today. Did a mile on the treadmill, then 20 good minutes on the bike.

    no worries man, sometimes the gym has to wait. I am in the same boat with studying right now, finding hard to get to the gym..once you get back in there you'll be 100% in no time! good job with the cardio though

    It's was probably just your body's way of getting you to take some time off. You'll be back to 100% in no time!

    Time off from what?

    Nah, just a little demotivated from all the work issues. I'll get over it. Looking to be good with cardio for the next couple of days and get back to lifting Monday.

    Back in the gym, same routine. 1 mile on the treadmill, 20 min on the bike. Solid if unspectacular.
