Because the 3rd free bonus workout also included shoulders... would you suggest that when doing this workout as a split with the 3rd one that Bonus #3 and Bonus #4 not be done on consecutive days, or did you design these two workouts to be done back-to-back days? I know that normally one should "rest" a body part that they've worked thoroughly. I just wanted to make sure that that's still the case with these two workouts?

I'm also curious as to why you chose to work the shoulders in two workouts. Are shoulders an area that need extra focus as we age? Mine make all kinds of clicking (joint) noises and so I'd been wondering if it was just me or if that was common and if extra strengthening would help. I do do yoga, Tai Chi, and your mobility workouts, because I am predicting that if I don't... my shoulders will lose range of motion in the future.

You always have a reason for everything, so I was just wondering if you could share your reason for doubling up on shoulders, as I feel the information would be valuable to some of us. Also, I'd like to know if doubling up is something that should just be done every so often, or should we add additional shoulder workouts to the majority of our workouts?

Thank you! :)
 
This looks great! DH and I will use it in our last STS prep-Meso coming in Nov.

Braille, The Lift it Hit it UB splits from the Ripped with HIIT also feature shoulders in both splits. DH and I are presently doing these and our shoulders don’t feel overworked due to the targeted shoulder exercises chosen for each split. I think of them as a split within a split.

Interesting question indeed.

Some shoulder muscles are in the front part of the body and other are located at the back ---- anterior and posterior chain. Shoulders assist while working biceps,triceps and back. We do use it a lot on daily basis and just for that it deserve a 2x frequency attention. In my opinion.

No one would wish to over or under work/develop any of the front comparted to the back portion of shoulders muscle ..... vice versa. No one want imbalances between the front and the back. It does not look good and does not function efficiently. Visualise executing a military push up which requires the entire body to fully be under tension to travel up and down beautifully. ;) :D Visualise executing superman.

Another XTrain Bonus - Rear Delts

In the XTrain Bonus Rear Delts workout you will do three exercises for three sets that focus on developing the rear delts.

Looking forward to those hammer curl hold adding bands. Combining bands and weight bring the pump to another level. It feels great. Thank you Cathe to lining this one up.

I literally saw this coming!;);):D

Looking forward to these. Can you tell me what the weights you are using because I'll am going to buy weights on Thurs and would before the download is out

We usually do not know the weight lifted by cathe and the crew till we play the workout;);):D
Looking at the thickeness of the hex dumbbell, the load is pretty heavy lol:D Back is a large muscle so yes we can play heavy with a healthy back.

Funny, I have just added more weight plate too. Take care:D
Oh!enjoy your new toys!

It's difficult to tell from how they sequenced the preview, but if it's like the other upper body bonus workout, the shoulders come last (they're not sprinkled throughout), so it's looking like you have the option to be able to at least skip shoulders from the workout if you want to do these back-to-back.

From what I can see so far, overhead shoulder presses are repeated in both workouts. This one appears to have more rear delt focus.

I figure if I don't want to skip any of the exercises and I want to do the two UB bonus workouts in their entirety within a week in a rotation, I would need to insert a LB or rest or cardio day between the two UB bonus workouts.

Little bummed a thorough core focus looks to be left on the wayside with the bonuses. There's some core work in the TB metabolic workout, though. And yes, I see Supermans in the preview for this one, but nothing hitting the entire core.

I could eat my words, though. Given this is a HEAVY UB workout, core will need to put in some extra work stabilizing throughout - especially for the back exercises.

This above is in my opinion a sneaky- fun way to work core.

That is the beauty and the essence of compound movements.

Please do tell us after you have tried if you have eaten your words or not
Hopefully you will survive to tell it all

Hi Braille! The two upper body bonus workouts were designed as push pull splits. The shoulder portion has a focus on front delts on "push" days (with chest and triceps) and rear delts on "pull" days (with back and biceps). This allows you to dedicate focused effort to each area while also allowing for proper recovery.

While it is fine to do these upper body workouts back to back, I personally would put a day in between these two workouts just to allow for extra recovery. You could also do one of the upper body workouts followed by the leg workout the next day, and finish with the remaining upper body workout the third day. Of course you also have the option to spread the workouts out further and put 48 hours rest in between each one.

It is common to include shoulders in this manner with split workouts. I don’t always choose to do it, but I have with a few of my series in the past, and this particular time I chose to do it again.

The shoulder joint gets a little crankier as we age because it’s a vulnerable joint that plays a big role in our body. It does everything from rotation, to pushing and pulling, and stabilizing. It moves in multiple planes all day long. It is definitely a joint that is exposed to a lot of wear and tear over our lifetime. Because of that its important to maintain the integrity of the joint through strength training and active range of motion. I think it’s wonderful that you are doing mobility and yoga training along with your shoulder weight training to keep your shoulders healthy and mobile. I don’t think you need to incorporate extra shoulder training as you age. I think it’s important that you incorporate mobility into your shoulder joint at least twice a week and strength train your shoulder joints at least once a week. While mobility can be done daily I don’t think it’s necessary to train shoulders more than two times a week because the shoulder joint gets daily conditioning with things you do throughout the day without even realizing it. Enjoy your new upcoming “pull day” bonus workout!

I noticed that with the core too. Hope I'm wrong. It looks like supermans were put in for back, but I saw no specific entire core work. I know stabilizing with weights works the core, but I feel incomplete without adding a specific core workout where that's my main mental and physical focus. The workout is just that length that adding one is possible for me (on a good day), but I like to plan my workouts ahead of time, and I never know in advance which days are going to be good and which are going to be crunched for time. lol
