Like Leticia, I tied to stay away from explosive movements with the shoulders. My left shoulder strain is lingering, but feels like it’s getting better. So I looked at last Tuesday’s workout and used it in combination with today’s. So no snatches or cleans (from last Tues.).

At home today. Legs a bit tired from 10K run yesterday.
DMA done.
A & B skipped. Subbed Front Squats (from last Tues.) 155/160/165/170/165#.
C. Strict OHP 75/80/85//90/95/100#. Stayed lighter and slower than normal.
D1 skipped.
D2. Done w/150#.
E. 300ft. sled pull w/215#.

Straight up and down feels ok. Out in a snatch hurts, along with some other motions. I think it’s bicep tendon inside the shoulder. It got wound up last week from the strict rings PU and other pullups I did.

Going overhead is where it gets uncomfortable, so I felt fine today with no overhead movements.

Thanks Nichole. The pain is in my bicep where it meets the shoulder and front of shoulder when pressing with my elbows pointing down vs a good front rack position with elbows up. I take a barbell and voodoo band to it every time I go overhead and try to loosen the pec which helps some. Getting into physical therapy to get some dry needling done to help loosen things up also. 23 Years of military service are taking a toll on my shoulders.

Both Kincaid and I are also struggling with this exact same pain! My regular body worker has been on vacation, and I really been missing him….he seems to be the only one that can really get in there and take care of this issue for me! Who gave him permission to go on vacation anyways? 😉

Pulling isn’t what bothers it most of the time. Usually its snatches at heavy weight (85+%) or strict presses, sometimes strict pull ups, and dipping out of the MU (which is also usually strict).
