This is more or less rhetorical, but if anybody has a nice variation in their workout that they might employ occasionally, I'm listening.

Pete: Give us an idea of your workout that you're not running out of steam on. For example, what was it today?
First day back doing (or should I say "trying"?) shoulders after a break of several months. It sucked -- big time. I did manage to crank out 3 sets of 6-7 on smith military press at 90lbs; but that's a good click under what I used to do. Didn't even try real military presses. DB shoulder presses I only tried up to 35lbs. Did some rear delt raises, front raises, and cable rear raises ... all pretty low weight. It's going to take a lot of work to get back to where I was; but the key thing is that I *can* do it.
For a long while, I couldn't even do the bar on a military press because the motion alone would hurt like a mutha.
Ended up doing biceps after I gave up on shoulders ... then 20+ minutes of cardio on the recumbent. Hour was up and I was beat.
