CARTS BEFORE HORSES

by greenbamboostudios

Due to a scheduling conflict, I rearranged my split (the division of muscle groups to be worked daily) so I would see my trainer for a chest/back day later on in the week.

 

And I proposed that would work shoulders on my own the day before.

 

Needless to say, I had a great shoulder day but a less than stellar chest/back day.

 

Knowing intellectually that stacking two consecutive days of upper body work would be foolhardy, I did it anyway, based merely on the ‘feeling’ that I could pull it off.

 

“Why did you let me?” I asked.

 

“I knew it wouldn’t kill you, and, you would learn a valuable lesson,” was the answer I received.
