Training Day One Hundred Eighty Two

I've been considering my lateral delts lacking for quite some time now and since bodybuilding is all about improving your weaknesses, it's time to rethink my delt workout. Since I am quite happy with the front portion of my delts, and due to me doing quite a bit of incline bench pressing, I've decided to scrap the front delts from my delt routine. My idea is that the front portion will get enough stimulation from other exercises. Instead, I'll primarily focus on the lateral portion with hopes of significant changes in the upcoming future. The rear portion of my delt will still be trained, but not to the same extent as the laterals.

# Workout Notes:
Since today's delt workout was the first of the new and improved version, I had to get a feel for it. That meant estimating the amount of weight I'd be doing for each set. Luckily, my estimation turned out to be quite good. A rather surprising effect of the new version was that the Reverse Fly Machine exercise was affected by the increase in Lateral Delt exercises. Not a big deal, but perhaps something to think about in the future. In any case, this new set-up is up for evaluation for now.
