Up to 30 lb on the hip thrusts and 6 lb on the 6-way!!!

Those 6 way shoulder complexes. Couldn’t increase weight but got through each set without pausing. Still tough though!

Dumbbell - Standing Shoulder Press

A "superset" is an exercise sequence where you do the prescribed exercises one after another. 

In this superset, you will do:

A - Banded - Clamshell
10-12 reps on each side (20-24 total)
controlled tempo
No rest, go directly onto B

B - Dumbbell – 6-Way Shoulder Complex
10-12 reps
controlled tempo, no jerking of the body
60s rest, then got back to A

Repeat this superset 3 times.

- Place a band just above your knees
- Flex the hips to 45 degrees and the knees to approximately 90 degrees 
- Initiate the movement by abducting your top leg
- Push your knee away from the midline of your body                                                                                        
- Maintain contact between your feet throughout the movement
- Complete the desired reps, then repeat on the opposite side

Banded - Clamshell

- Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, or sitting on a ball, bench or chair; hold a set of dumbbells in each hand, palms facing down.
- Keeping your arms straight, raise the dumbbells up and out to the sides so that your hands are at shoulder level.
- Bring your hands to the front and then up over your head.
- Bring the hands back down to the front, open them to the sides, and then lower them back down. This is ONE repetition. 
- Keep your shoulders relaxed throughout each repetition, focusing on squeezing the muscles at the top of each motion and maintaining a slow, controlled tempo.

Not the prettiest but getting it done was priority🌻

That superset at the end! Much better form, big improvement in split squat.

Feels good to start again.  Just got more home gym stuff and plan on 5 months straight working out and plan to up it from there.  Love this app.  Like checking boxes, how to videos and timer.

Long brisk walk while my husband had a treatment. So good for my mental health.
