Thanks Brett - yep, you're right, heavy squatting ain't the best way to rehab a bum shoulder.

Last week of circa max on squats. Unreal trying to walk the weight out of the rack against that band tension and even harder walking it back in. The squats all had good speed though. Mom's b-day is Sunday, so had to try to cram some ME deadlift work in with the speed work today. Don't know what the total weight at the top was, but the bar was bending pretty nice. All the pulls were quick - happy happy joy joy.
