My 4th day of Body Beast witnessed the first shoulders workout. After the previous three workouts, this was the only part of my body left which didn’t feel destroyed. This morning it was time to put that right! What a burn! I’m beginning to get used to the format now. Single sets of a compound movement set the tone and then it’s a whole load of mashing, trashing and burning with the super and giant sets. I managed decent weights in all but the 1,1,2 front raises and the Sagi six-ways. The latter exercise should be renamed ‘Sagi’s sick ways’!! My delts were screaming and I was only using 5kg weights which isn’t a great deal. Keep it sensible, especially on delt exercises as they are prone to rotator cuff injuries and can also lead to back injuries if you up the weights to beyond your capacity.
As with all the Body Beast workouts, the warmup and cooldown is short and sweet. A brief jog, a couple of stretches and then some weights! Yes, you read that right. There’s no stability ball or foam roller involved with Sagi. All in all this was another great workout. I can’t wait to do Beast cardio and abs tomorrow for a temporary reprieve from all the iron fighting!
As a side issue, I love Sagi’s catchphrase….Whatever it takes.
