Day 38 was upper body foam rolling from 645 and the week 5 shoulders workout in Lift 4.
The shoulders workout was a tough interval workout. So, again, we did three blocks of two weighted shoulder exercises and then a 30-second HIIT exercise, back-to-back, without any rest in between the exercises and minimal rest between the sets. I was able to increase the amount of weight I was using for each exercise in each block for the first set, but in the second and third sets I had to drop the amount of weight I was using down (as most of the cast members were doing). For the shoulder flys in the third block, in the third set, I had to drop the weight entirely for the last few reps. The workout finishes with three sets of two core exercises (weighted drivers and prayer crunches). Ultimately, it was a short workout, but very tough.
The upper body foam rolling in the morning was okay. I feel that I get more benefit from the lower body foam rolling than I do the upper body foam rolling. I do have knots in my lats and pecs, but not nearly as many as I have in my legs on any given day. But, I still do the upper body routine because I do think it is helpful.
