This workout was a nice change from Chest & Back. It had a lot of different kinds of pushups including one arm ones that I couldn’t even do on my knees! But the pushups were mixed in with a the shoulder and tricep exercises which I enjoy. The workout is really tough on your shoulder joints though so make sure to take the warm up seriously. My shoulders started to hurt during the pour flys and slo-mo throws so I think I either need to reduce my weight or push through until my strength increases enough to support my joints during those moves. Chair dips also irritated my shoulders a bit until I adjusted the angle so I was as close to my chair as I could get. If you’re having any pain during chair dips make sure you’re at the right angle so you don’t put stress where it shouldn’t be.
During the weighted arm circles, I grabbed some 1 pound ankle weights that I had lying around and just held those. Give this a try if you want to use weight on the arm circles but aren’t ready for the lightest dumbbell you have.
29 days down, 61 days to go. I can do anything for 61 days.

Hey Pam! I definitely felt this workout the next day, all in the chest. My shoulders were strong along with the tri’s. But the chest? Ouch! I did Plyo last night and it was the first time I muted Tony and plugged in my headphones for some good workout music. I actually got a lot more out of the workout that way.
I agree with you on the 61 day comment!
Hey Pam!
Glad to see you’re still sticking to it. When I first transitioned into this workout I was sore for 3 or 4 days. It really is different from chest and back. I actually think it is a better workout.
