For me, the first set is tough because I am old and everything hurts, Dave.
Warming up is actually the most painful part of my chest and my shoulder routines. As soon as I get the scar tissue busted back up and the blood flowing, I am good. I actually need the focus from the PWO on the warm-up sets just to get through those.
Day off today. I will train the whole body over 4 days starting tomorrow, then I am taking a 4 day break Friday through Monday. Hope to get hungry for the gym half way through the break, and be busting to go by the following Tuesday.
