Good work in here, Joe, nice pulling. Have you started backloading?

Yep just started. Still playing around with teh right level of carbs though.

Joe- I’m sure your ailments are different from mine, but what has helped my shoulder immensely…

scap push ups, band pull aparts ( my #1 shoulder favorite), and believe it or not, I honestly believe recently the Klokov presses have helped( my shoulders have not felt this good since pre-college…which was a long time ago!!. I think because of the difficulty of the Klokov I use such light weight that all the little support muscles get to do some work as opposed to getting over powered on heavy pressing movements…I also roll on a lacrosse ball 3 or 4 times a week which nails the infraspinitus.

I’m not qualified to offer any of this advice, but it has helped me so I thought I would speak up.

Always good work going on in here, BTW!

DOes carb backloading allow for increased beer intake? if it does, I may try it!

Joe, I remember your pix from a couple of years ago and I see great progress. Nice job!

Nice work Joey!

I really do need to try some work like that, particularly band pull aparts since I’ve got micro minis just laying in my bag.

Yep carb backloading is beer friendly.

I’ve got to work on shoulder prehab stuff and I need to find a reilable spotter so I can do some singles. I’ll figure something out I’m certain.

Reliable spotters are oh-so important.

Time for a new avi, matey.

I’ve never done it before so I’m going to follow Vikki’s template until I know what I’m doing.
