Shoulders Forearms Training on Thursday

I train Shoulders on Mondays and Thursdays according to my current workout plan. The idea is to increase the intensity of the workout by either doing more sets of an exercise or by increasing the number of repetitions I do for a particular exercise, while keeping the load same as before.

Since, my shoulders are still painful sometimes, I really shouldn’t lift much on Shoulders.

My feeling after the workout
I got a decent pump in shoulders, however, felt some pain in the right shoulder. I couldn’t get forearms muscles to burn to my satisfaction. However, I can feel the gain in my shoulder strength.
