The Deadly Sevens Shoulder Swole

I always like springing surprise workouts on the guys that train with me. I usually try to make it something I know they will hate. They hated this one. I called it “The Deadly Sevens Shoulder Swole.” The main portion of the workout goes like this...

  • First hang clean and push-press up to a max weight, then do it three times.
  • Then take 75 percent of that weight and perform seven high-pulls, one hang clean then seven presses with it as one set.
  • Do that for seven sets!
  • Sounds simple don’t it? It sucked.

Mine went like this:

  • Worked to 120 kg x 3 x 1
  • 90 kg x 7 pulls, 1 clean, 7 presses x 7 sets
  • Pop-pop was rolling around on the ground when we got done, so I knew I did my job
  • Dumbbell side raises: 7 heavy sets until failure
  • Rear delt machine: 7 sets until failure
  • 40 minutes cardio: elliptical
  • Neck work: 4 sets front raises, 4 sets teeth lifts

Show off that yoke!
