The soreness feels soooo good
there is nothing like waking up to feel the soreness from a workout you did 2 days ago. so there i was…two days ago working shoulders. i knock out my first warmup set. feeling good…feeling strong. mentally i’m getting worked up. last time i did dumbbell presses i did 6 reps of 80 pound dumbbells on my last set. so now i’m getting pumped up to do better. i knock out my first set with the 70s. feeling good…feeling strong. next set, 75s reps 9 and 10 were a little hard. here we go, can i do the 80s for 6 or better. i grab them and hoist em up. feeling good. then its one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and n…i…n…e. oh yeah! the rest of the workout would prove to be on track with that same intensity. so here i am today…i wake up to the alarm clock…beep…beep…beep. i attempted to reach over to hit that elusive button marked "snooze". but no such luck. i cant lift my arms. my shoulders are so worn out. as i lay there paralyzed by fatigue…a smile forms on my face. satisfaction.

It sure does feel good to workout that hard - even if it causes some issues the next day. I’ve never been unable to hit the snooze alarm, though I’ve had days where I couldn’t my tie on to dress for work. Keep at it - good luck in reaching your goals.
