OMG, JJ, the heavier weights are murder on my shoulders! When will I get used to them? I keep telling DH to give my shoulders massage. Maybe I started to much, too soon? Do you think I should do less reps?

How many reps/sets are you doing per shoulder exercise? Are you having DOMS=delayed onset muscle soreness or pain, like "ouch" pain? DOMS is okay and will go away within a few days...ouch may mean too much too soon...depends on the sort of soreness you have as to whether or not you should reduce the workload. Let me know

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?

Yep, your body will adapt to the new weights, give it some time. Your rep and set scheme looks good! You'll be buff in no time at all! Keep up the good work, girl! WOOHOO!
