So, my shoulder is feeling pretty messed up, but I can tell it’s not the rotator cuff. Something deep in my front/side delt. Not terrible, but I probably won’t be doing any pressing for a while.

That being said, sumo deads were a breeze today. 595×1 was the target top set, easy triple from a dead stop, probably could have done 10 more reps. Had to have a 700+pull in me today: very encouraging.

Frustrating. Been pushing klokov presses lately without any troubles, and was midway through my set with 130 when I felt my right shoulder/rc tweak/pop a bit. Finished the set, and did all my push press sets without any troubles, but it’s pretty damn achy now. Hopefully nothing serious.
