Plyometrics!

[Susan Otcenas]

Just remember not to make that the only upper-body work you do.

Coach gave me an upper body routine to do, which is what I follow each time I go to the weight room:

Seated Rows
2 sets narrow
2 sets wide

Lat pull downs
3 sets

chest press
2 sets

pull overs
2 sets

shoulder press
2 sets

tricep dips (standing)
1 set

tricep extensions
1 set

bicep curls
1 set

Between some of the sets I work in some abdominals.

Good point, Oakleaf. Since I don't go to a gym, I do other exercises, Pilates, and yoga at home. Am I missing something? Probably, but it's the best I can do. I've had rotator cuff problems before, and they are no fun. I developed problems while being under the eye of a coach (not a very good one, evidently) at a gym, doing weights that were too heavy, too fast, and too soon. If anything I err on the side of not doing enough of anything, as opposed to doing too much of something.
