From @musclegirlfusion:
"Since I started posting in this challenge, you've given me a reason to blog on steemit. No matter how discouraged I get when it seems like no one is reading what I write, I know I can write it and post it here and it adds to the challenge. So thank you for giving me the motivation I need to stick with blogging!!"
From @bitfiend:
"After starting 6 days ago I already feel stronger. This is definitely the most consistent exercise I've done in an extremely long time but I am happy to be taking part! While I walk around mostly in pain, I know it's all for a good cause! My health! I am feeling better and I'd say my sickness is mostly gone now. I think that if I had not been exercising, I may have been sick for a bit longer. Persistence pays off!"
From @mightpossibly:
"I find it deeply satisfying to do these reps, which is a big deal. I've always hated the gym and prefer to exercise at home. But I've lacked the discipline to do it. It sort of feels like I have gym buddies now, without the hassle of going to the gym."
From @notorious562:
"I seriously cannot explain how much this group pushes and motivate me to keep working harder. I love this fitness community and the support and encouragement will help us achieve our goals."
From @khufu:
"Your challenge has helped immensely to keep me motivated lately. I've had a lot of... problems going on so your challenge has been a quantum of sanity in an insane world for me."

That's a great attitude. But just remember where you started and never settle for anything less than your expectations.

Apologies.
I made a video for your shoulders. As you liked my 450 reps challenge very much so definitely you will use this shoulders exercise as well. Everyone is free to try this exercise, post a video I will make a comment what are you doing wrong and how to fix it.Happy dayzz.
Daily Challenge Completed 308 reps
I watched your video yesterday and found it very interesting. I tried it out with a broomstick (no load -- friday is shoulder day) and it makes sense to me to vary the movement.
Question; would you recommend to always do shoulder presses this way, or only occasionally?
If you are not a big fan of lifting heavy weights overhead, you can use it always. If you a big fan of lifting heavy weight overhead first you need to keep your shoulders healthy and flexible with this exercise. After the main workout, you can use this exercise to keep your shoulders healthy and balanced.
That makes sense! Great input. I will try this out properly on friday, as part of my shoulder routine.
Have Fun ;)
