After yesterday’s agonizing unilateral leg workout, it’s time to hit an early morning chest and shoulders session. My legs are killing today, so it’s certainly going to be uncomfortable when I place dumbbells on them today, but that’s all part of the evolution. If you’re not feeling it, you aren’t pushing hard enough!
As we did yesterday, this workout is exclusively unilateral.
