Backsquats - my nemesis

Thursday, July 2;

Pre surgery and pre Crossfit I would have said that I liked backsquats. I might have even ventured to say that I was good at them. Post surgery the story has changed dramatically. It's the one move that really highlights my lack of flexibility in my shoulder. The chink in my armor. It's the positioning that kills me. It's the exterior rotation that I just don't have have back yet. I always forget to stretch that too. Maybe this time I learned my lesson and I'll add it into the daily stretch repertoire.

Jerry even pulled out the good old mantaray to help me relieve some of the pressure from my shoulder and put the bar in proper position. It's frustrating that I can't work on strength, because I'm so focused on avoiding shoulder pain. I'd really like to see some much higher numbers closer to where I used to be.
