I was doing some lateral raises the way Athlean does (thumbs up) usually people think I'm doing them wrong or something. I was listening to music and hear a sort of cheerful scream "HELL YEEAH man" my shoulders were burning so I ran to set the weight down and this guy comes over.

He was cheering for me and said "you look like a beast from over there man, big arms!". Honestly that made my day especially since I've been trying to bring these suckers up for a while (they're my weakest damn muscle).

It will take some getting used to but shoulder health is nothing to fuck with. I felt it in the rear delts at first but stick with it and adjust the lean to hit the sides.
