So that's what DOMS is! I kept seeing that word in your journal and was wondering what it stood for I think that's what I had. I don't have any pain today cuz DH gave my shoulders a nice massage yesterday and yesterday was my lower body workout so my shoulders had a rest. I usually do 3 sets of 10 with my 5#, and 3 sets of 8 with my new 8#. There wasn't any injury, just muscle soreness. Probably have to get used to lifting the heavier weights?
