Notes -  A step forward.  Been watching videos on bar placement and I was able to do better today, and I had a little better range of motion in the shoulders as well, which is encouraging.  I could bring the hands in a little bit on the final sets and that really helped me lock in the bar.  The biggest thing is bar placement for me and keeping in place, no pressure on the elbows.  Obviously have to figure this out and be able to translate it at heavier weights.  Chins were good, trying the pin firing method, and then I finished with some rounds on the Prowler, which I really like.  I will keep trying to use it more, it's an excellent tool and I feel great (energized) after doing it, doesn't beat me up.
