Glacial improvement with this shoulder. Still feels off, but not painful.
Signed up for a local USAPL meet that my gym is holding first week of April. This will be the longest I've gone without stepping on the platform since I started competing. Of course, the last time I did, things didn't go so well...I'm looking to change that!

After 67 trips around the sun, I'm pleased to say my body felt pretty good today, knees and back were happy.
195kg moved nicely, a bit slow through the mid range, but strong off the floor and to lockout. Still working on coordinating bar, hips, and shoulders...but we're getting better.

Had to train off site, as my gym is holding a two day event.
Shitty equipment (I'm getting angrier about it as the day draws to a close). Squatted and Benched in a Precor Rack, one of those racks with the bar on rails...at an angle no less.
It was better than nothing I suppose...Benching was hard, but Squatting was damn near impossible.
