Thanks Nichole. Disappointed in my weights though. Don’t know if I told you, I was out for a year up until December with a Shoulder reconstruction…3 torn tendons and a labrum…Getting my strength back in overhead has been a challenge. I am not sure if it is all strength or a bit of a fear factor. I have to get over it though.

No I didn’t know that Gary! Well, one of the biggest lessons I learned when I had back surgery was to not compare where I am today with where I was post surgery. Instead, view your progress in a new light, a new you! And you will be surprised by how much better you feel and how much you progress when you aren’t limiting yourself to your ”old numbers.” Instead, set some new numbers! They may take some time to do it but you absolutely can!

Thanks Nichole! I wish I had written down how I approached the workout last time. I was more aggressive this time and I’m guessing that was a big part of it. Either way, I’ll take it.

I’m new to the program and I am cherry picking a bit so I can focus on things required for an upcoming competition, but I must say today’s BMU drills are money! I could do BMUs sometimes at the beginning of the year, but I have been unable since then. Today they were good and easy. Thanks for that!

Scott, it’s written in parentheses. “Rest 10 seconds between 3 and 2, 2 and 1.”
