Make sure you throw in a load of shoulder mobility and strengthening exercises - don't make my mistake and ruin your shoulder for 6 months :)

Looking good though!

Cheers. I warm up both chest and shoulder days with internal and external rotations. I do need to add shoulder dislocations back into my routine though.

Weighed in at 199 lbs this morning which is a 1.8lb loss for the week. I'm happy with that considering I haven't been too strict with my calories and I had a cheat meal on Wednesday too.
