2nd week, huge gains, muscle memory, I was actually still sore from leg day yesterday but this morning it was 90% better. Today it feels really good kind of sore.

My left shoulder kept popping on overhead press and that was annoying. If this happens to you, don't push it, just find an angle where it doesn't, go for less weight, or skip it for today, there is plenty of overlap if you're following my plan, which I changed a little because I forgot close grip pull downs for biceps.

Also my other shoulder is deciding to hurt now we'll watch that. Soreness is fine, but never push through sharp pain, that's your body telling you that you're about to rip the tendon off your bone you idiot. Baby the fuck out of that joint until pain subsides.

I don't get inflammatory response, never did, but of you do, your joints may feel more pain after a good workout, don't continue until that's gone. It's ok.

I'm going nearly all dumbells now and that's good because even if you can do the weight, you're forced to use less because you can't physically get the weight in the right position or keep it stable. Dumbells are therefore safer. You see someone doing their bodyweight on bench, that's good! If they're doing it with dumbells, that's incredibly good for ametures like me.

I saw a lot of guys grunting like a virgin fag getting anal for the first time and I step up with 40% more weight, silently breathing as I do the same thing. Don't be gay, be quiet, all that moaning should stay in the bedroom.
