Kiplinger Report

Yes, the title is a pun. And, no, I won't apologize for it because it is awesome.

Monday was just a great day, and I want to savor it. 

I have been having trouble with my kip since I started at Friendship.  As I have written before, my right shoulder is a little unstable, and it will pop out a bit/be a pain.  I had a breakthrough on Monday.  I crushed the kip.  My shoulder didn't pop.  It didn't hurt at all.  I felt the best I have ever felt practicing that skill.  Jay told me that I was coming close to breaking the plane of the bar without even pulling.  I'm particularly excited about that because there was a part of me that worried I wouldn't be able to correct those past injuries.  I wondered if my shoulder was going to hold me back.  It sounds like such a little thing, but to have shaken off that artificial limitation has made me feel great. I feel in control.

We also did some overhead squatting, and that has improved as well. I'm excited to get stronger.  I can't wait to be working at 95# overhead squats.
