Kind of an off day, but I still ended up very sweaty ?
You got some work in! I hope the shoulder feels better here soon!
Thanks Mike! Congrats on the PR!
How is your shoulder today? I’m just going to throw this out there but…maybe you should lay off the pressing for a week and see if it improves. 🙂
Took an Aleve last night, so it’s feeling better. But you’re right, I should lay off those exercises for a week. Thanks Michele ?
