The shoulder is up in the 90% healed range. I still made sure to use the shoulder saver with the bench. On my fsl sets I went to do my usual close grip with the shoulder saver and my legs up, but that irritated it. I did two reps and racked it. That's a big step for me. I will usually grind something out once I start, but it's rare anything good ever comes from that. Instead I put my legs down and went back to a normal grip. All was well again. On Saturday I got to use my new toy, the massive dead-squat bar. I just love the feel of it. I'll get a pick or video lifting it. I was pressed for time as my truck was getting supercharged. I mean I got my lift in, but I wanted to get to the shop to check out the near 600 horse power beast my buddy was creating for me. I conditioned as usual. However, I did not foam roll. That often gets me in funky positions and I did not want to risk the shoulder progress. I will be adding that back in.
