40min run
Various kettle bell stuff. Have upped to the 8kg bells for upper and 20kg for leg work.
Have also befriended one of the gym rats where I go who attempted to correct my technique (or lack there of) for bench press. I cannot lift my arms today. (this is not a good thing)
Indeed, good form is important and will give you the result you were aiming for. I used to have poor form doing squats until I realised that I was doing them so wrong. Of course, when I was doing them with poor form, I was just doing them the way I'd seen others doing them. Goes to show that adequate study of what one is attempting to do helps with understanding and attention in the right areas during the action one is to perform, by leaps and bounds. At the very least, that's how I see it.
As an aside, the feeling in your arms right now means you got a decent workout. I'm jealous because that's the effect I aim for when I hit the weights. :laugh:

Oh, saw that adding whey protein to diet might be beneficial for avoiding neurodegenerative disease and helping eczema, so added it back to my diet. OMG I missed it so. I thought my diet was getting enough protein through meals, but nah, I notice the improvement from it in regards to training muscle growth.
