It is always our contention that your shoulders are the most important part of your body to train. To this end rather than add more sets in general we did a four part shoulder scheme with little rest in between sections.

The work starts with the standard side raise into the overhead press. Unfortunately because I was assisting in the final portion we couldn’t record it. What I did was increase the weight significantly and helped her perform alternating side raise so right, left, right, left etc. Finally I had her do both sides together as in the beginning but I assisted the lifting and had her concentrate on lowering it slowly. This is known as negative or eccentric accentuation and is super draining thus I saved it for the end of her workout.

Continued in Part 5 the conclusion.
