Delta Force

Whether 'tis nobler to make GAINZ on gameday. That is the question. Perhaps this is a question that many of you have faced. Here's my most recent bout...and solution:

On this particular day, GAINZ MAKER (GAINZ MAKER tends to speak in third person from time to time) has a league basketball game against ferocious defenders that will be trying deny his every move to the goal. This particular day also happens to be DELTA FORCE day. "Delta Force" means shoulders for those in the know.



So thus the paradox: make GAINZ and therefore aid my future roundball abilities at the expense of tonight's game, or save delta force for tomorrow and delay the making of legit GAINZ. It is a tougher decision to make than meets the eye. Delaying GAINZ is always a last resort for me - only reserved for special occasions, recuperation, and family emergencies. On the other hand, my shooting GAINZ have been off-target as of late and I need to be true tonight because Money to Singe (our team name......i have NO idea) needs a win like GAINZ MAKER needs a real job.

So you're probably wondering what GAINZ MAKER, in all his GAINZ-ian glory, did? And when you really think about it, the answer is as clear as crystal, as right as rain. GAINZ MAKER MADE GAINZ! What kind of GAINZ you ask? GAINZ that allow me to participate in delta force, but also annihilate tonight's opposition. In coming up with a plan of attack, I veered from the typical "heavy lifting" that would inevitably put me out of commission and instead incorporated simple, yet explosive movements that facilitate GAINZ but would not hinder forays to the tin, arcing 3 pointers, and intense, no-holds-barred, ball-busting defense.



Here is the delta force plan GAINZ MAKER followed on gameday:

• Barbell Military Press (4 sets, 10-17 reps) (ok ok....I had to have one pure old-school GAINZ exercise)
• DB Push Press (4 sets, 6 reps) (stand in an athletic stance with DB's shoulder level, explode up through the hips and knees, and press the weights up)
• DB High Pulls (4 sets, 6 reps) (stand in an athletic stance with straight arms and DB's at the front of the knees, explode up again bringing DB's to front delts and perform a calf raise...remember to keep the weights close to your body throughout)
• Rear Delt fly/row Superset (3 sets, 10 reps) (perform one of each and that is one set)
• DB Shrugs (3 sets, 10-12 reps)
