Same song and dance with the shoulder as well?

Yep; that is what I meant.


On a positive note 2 people came up to me today and complimented me on my 5 plate unbelted squat from last week. Seems the PT that took the vid posted it on the facebook page of my gym.

I'm not on Facebook so I was not aware:

Sorry to hear about the shoulder still bro.

But that is pretty awesome on the compliments and the video on the gyms FB page.

Battled the extreme heat/humidity and pain for a bench session in the garage today.

Pretty sad, so I won't post details.

Worked up to 5 sets of 3 reps @ 275 with the slingshot. Pain is about 80% reduced with the SS.

Flex I had a hard day this week too. I had forgotten what that felt like.
But I think you are doing great and are recovering. Plus u are making heroic effort because this is so important to you!
That's something to be really proud of.
I like this log section bc people I admire walk with me through successes and hard times and I'm going to be there for you and them.
So, great effort bro. The healing and the road back is a triumph in itself!
