6lb sledgehammer finger walks, 1/1, x 2

9:15am - Complete

Notes - A reasonable re start here.  The squats were better, the bar was moving less, I was feeling more confident.  Still can't quite get under the bar and get it in place like I want due to the left shoulder, but went to the acupuncturist today and I think something was up with the left side of my neck, which we worked on.  I think that will benefit the left trap and shoulder.  Just happy with the improvement, have to keep inching it forward here.  Overhead presses were pretty good, all things being equal.  Dropped the weight about 5%, and will run up again here with 2.5 lb jumps.  Did one top set of light DLs.  Didn't get chins in today, I'm going to hit those pretty hard on Wed and use the Prowler as well for conditioning.
