Aye, it were a good session. Got a bit of a twinge in me right shoulder that’s been niggling me. I’ll keep an eye on it for a bit, but fingers crossed it’s nowt serious.

Notes to me-self

It definitely feels good to come back to strength training.

I think a month of de-load was bit too long innit.

Now the proper training started, let’s see how my body holds up.

Already I’m having a niggling pain on me right shoulder that’s a bit of concern.

Let’s hope it won’t be anything serious.
