Shoulders Workout 0003

As you will notice by the dates of this and the last post, I have had a few days off again to let my right arm heal some more. It's coming along fine now. I have changed my workout to allow for more warmup sets to help.

Never be afraid to change your workout to fit your situation and circumstances. Don't let your workouts rule you - stay in charge - make sure you rule your workouts. After all, they are to benefit you; not to hinder you.

Don't panic about your progress too much. As long as you are persistant your strength and size will always grow over time.

Notice I said "over time". That's not immediatly, six months from now or one year from now. Building your body's size and strength is a process - it's always a long term goal.

You have to stay in the game to win the game.
