LET’S GET IT ON!!!!
I just got back from the BEST workout I’ve had in possibly years! 
Whilst I still think it’s a bit early to start getting the strength gains from the gear (5th day on) I felt like a MACHINE in the gym today! I honestly had to physically stop myself training because I would have trained all day! It was an almost ‘euphoric’ feeling, I was happy, pumped, strong and felt great throughout my workout.
The best part was that it was during a shoulder workout, which for me I find REALLY hard to get a pump or work hard during. The week before doing the same workout, I felt weak, tired and depressed, today I was like a new man…
I cannot wait to hit my lagging bodyparts tomorrow, I watched a short clip on YouTube this morning with Greg Valentino and whilst I don’t think he looks that great, he did remind me of some important training rules:
"If it ain’t working, ditch it!"
When it comes to arms training (a seriously lagging bodypart for me) I find it REALLY difficult to feel the contraction, I’ve tried dumbells, barbells, EZ bars and indirect work (chin-ups), nothing seems to work.
However!! CABLES seems to work a treat! 
So I’m going to ditch all bicep exercises that involve the barbell, just use the dumbell exercises that I feel working (hammer curls) and concentrate on cable curls.
Triceps seem to be ok, I get a great pump doing all Tricep exercises so I’ll stick with what I’m doing for those.
SO happy right now! Can’t wait for the gains to properly kick in!
P.S. Myofascial release is a GODSEND for relieving knots from injections!

Glad you had a really great workout! It’s good to have those every once in a while. They help motivate us to keep going. I don’t think you have any "lacking" body parts. You look very fit and strong, and although you might not think your shoulders and arms are up to par with strength or size, no one else can tell that by looking at you.
So keep focusing on the workouts, enjoy them, and I hope you have many positive results come your way.
