I lifted on Monday and Thursday of this week, full-body workouts (with a video) and I'm happy that I can use 10lb dumbbells for most of the stuff now without too much difficulty.

Shoulder stuff (like lateral raises, I think) seems to be so much harder than everything else though. Is that normal? Also, anyone have ideas for things I can do for shoulder strength next month when I'll be traveling and probably won't have dumbbells handy?
