Hey man, I am asking on behold of old mate Voxel: Do you happen to have any old physiology exams accessible? He was wondering how the stuff he learns compares but all I could offer was in German

Yeah mate, all of my uni’s past exams are saved on a centralised database. I could download some and email them across

I think he would appreciate that and actually I’d like to take a look as well into some of what you guys are learning. I’ll collect his email.

Btw. I did Adam Meakins’ shoulder rehab course a few weeks ago. Most of the information wasn’t groundbreaking but a very very good run down of where we’re currently at. I would recommend it if you ever fancy it.

Awesome mate! I’ve been considering taking a shoulder course (either Meakins or Jared Powell) so I appreciate the endorsement :slight_smile:
