Notes:
I feel like I slayed a dragon today...not because I did anything monumental but because I forced myself to scale/sub around my shoulder injury wrather than push through it. Wisdom really does come with age...this time anyway.

I subbed OHS for the Snatch. I warmed up and hit 115 pretty easy, but felt a slight "searching" feeling in the bottom. I thought it better to err on the side of caution...especially if I had stability issues when I was fresh. Going into it fagtigued from the cleans might not be smart.

Instead I subbed 135# OHS for the first 10 reps, started getting some stability changes so I dumped it and scaled back to 115# mid stream for the final 10 reps.

I took the Thrusters really slow and deliberate. Definitely did not push through them. Made sure I received the bar nice and secure and drove it up with my legs as much as possible.

Not "as Rx'd" by any means, but definitely got work done today. Oh, and the DL was a PR for a hook grip. DL is starting to make a comeback. I don't even feel like I DL'd today...that's gotta be a good sign.
