"And in those simple beautiful movements I remembered what was really important in training; that consistency trumps intensity; all the time. That intensity is born from consistency. That one cannot force it, one has to lay in wait for it, patiently, instinctively, calmly and be ready to grab it when Grace lays it down in front of you."

135 lb Military Press 135 x 5 x 5,48 kg belt squats,floor pushups, side delts
Not as easy as I expected, not because of strength but because I was very tight. Didn't take enough time, in retrospect, to open up my front panel and it was hard to keep my arch during my presses.Once I was in position it was no problem but I found I was drifting in and out of the arch during each set.
The reps I was "in" the press went smoothly. If I was too forward so was the bar.
The good news is that no reps were ever in doubt if just hard.

What exercises do you do for side and rear delts? I'm on a journey for shoulder stability and incorporate standing side raises for side delt and bent over side raises for real delt. Just wondering about what is working for people succeeding at strong shoulders. Thanks for sharing your workouts. DFQ!
I do old fashioned standing db laterals for the medial delts and bent over side raises for the rears. Nothing fancy. Just do it regularly and it's making a huge difference. The medial delt raises really strengthen the supraspinatus and that's usually what tears first on rotator cuff tears.
I do a LOT of the scapular work I show on my website giryastrength.com video and that's made a MAJOR difference in my shoulder mobility and pain levels
