The butter browning instantly thing is exactly what happens. I've been preheating on medium-high because I assumed hot pan equals no stick.

Brand new at this and drowning in conflicting advice. I ask a lot of basic questions and I'll happily report back on whether the answer worked.
Tried it on two dumbbells and there was zero wrist ache the next day. Feels like cheating.
The 'you removed the filler' thing is uncomfortably accurate. I definitely used to default to things I didn't like just because they were there.
Tried it again at week seven and it's genuinely different — much creamier and my hands don't feel tight. Would not have believed the same bar could change that much.
No zap, so at least I haven't made something dangerous.
