Did your biceps tendon pop it’s groove at the top of the humerus? The pains you describe sound exactly what I used to feel after I’d popped mine out and continued to train. Got it put back in place by a therapist, popped it out again and put it back myself. Lived with it for two years not really knowing I’d done it until I was told so. Still rehabbing it.
You need to start a book called “Kpsnap’s Wilderness Adventures.”

what she said!
mine’s 29 inches, and im 5’7&3/4" exactly.
Great news on the deadlifts and squats and loved the hiking story. Glad the elk was OK - I would’ve been gutted to hurt an animal like that. I hope you took pictures of the amorous couple, no?

With a tape measure at zero on the ground, measured to my fist like I’m holding the bar at lockout, its about 27 inches.[/quote]
Me too. I must have really long arms because I’m 5’6" and I for sure don’t have short legs.[/quote]
As you have noted my arms are T-rex short.
That’s a crazy afternoon! I just might get the husband to go hiking in Colorado with a story like that. lol
I am not sure what happened, but I had left a cat-call-like comment to your avi a few days ago that did not show up.
It’s never too late to re-post, Jumpin’ Jack.
Gonna take some ibuprofin tomorrow morning and try to squat. The ibu might take the edge off the pain of holding the bar?
Heh, my arms are short too. I’m 5’7 but my wingspan is only 5’4. Shite for deadlifts but great for benching.
Went to the pool to entertain the kiddos. But decided to give some lap swimming a try. I used to swim regularly when I did triathlons. I’d forgotten just how therapeutic and wonderful swimming feels.
650 meters breast stroke
100 meters freestyle (didn’t want to push it but my shoulder actually tolerated a few lengths of this)
Hey Snap, so great to hear you’re allowed squats and DLs! You really are nearing the end of the tunnel.
Kiddies and pools and elk - oh my! Glad you survived the day.
Hope all goes well today!
I’ve always admired those who swim well. I swim like a rock.
I feel like a rock star. My first “real” day back to training since mid-May.
Squat
5/8/45 Did first set with wide grip and then returned to my old narrow grip for subsequent sets. Shoulder cooperated.
Deficit Sumo DL
5/8/65
Good Mornings
3/10/45 These were hard on my shoulder. Probably will avoid them for awhile.
A) Leg Extension
3/8/90
B) Weighted Hypers (Plate held to chest)
3/10/25
My plan is to [obviously] start very light and add weight very slowly. Give my shoulder time to adjust to holding/pulling weight again. I don’t want a setback.
Sounds silly, but I was really emotional after this piddly little workout. All seems to be working.

well you are entitled to get emotional and not silly.
Congratz on getting back to it so soon!
Congrats snapper, good to see you so happy about the training.
So happy for you!!
Snapper I’m glad you decided to stick around and keep us posted on your progress. This is a good milestone and fantastic news.
super happy dance
YAY!!! Congrats woman! This is great news - makes Mascherano all emotional too…
So. I’m deliberating.
Went to PT today and gave my therapist the update that my surgeon had released me to squat and DL. And I didn’t get the response I expected. My therapist was quite upset. Said he didn’t think that my shoulder was ready to hold loads like that, either in the squat or DL position. I could tell that he was angry. Frustrated. He said I would probably be able to “get away with it,” as he put it. But he was opposed and thought I was doing too much too soon and could possibly jeopardize the repair by starting serious lifting at only 12 weeks out. He closed my session by giving me a massage, which he’d never done before. I think he felt bad about upsetting me.
So now I’m second guessing myself. Maybe I did just wear my surgeon down? I can be annoyingly persistent. My surgeon wants me back in six weeks again, so he is still following me very closely.
Not quite sure what to do . . . Gotta get a handle on this obsession.
Whatever you do, take care of your self and don’t let short term frustration cause long term grief.
