Over My Shoulder

This is the latest bit of kit to arrive at the gym - a combined shoulder press/lateral raise machine. I would normally do those exercises with dumbbells, but the beauty of this machine is that it isolates the muscles you are trying to work. It is inevitable when using dumbbells that your body will try and cheat by using core and arm muscles to help the shoulders/lats. It’s also nice to be able to have a choice of how to do an exercise when the gym is busy - like it was this evening.
It is, of course, a rare luxury to be able to go to the gym in the evening as ordinarily I would have been at a play rehearsal. But you are only required this week if you “give or receive a punch, slap, kick or kiss”. Thankfully my character is far too refined to indulge in any of those practices…
