I haven't blogged for more than a week again! 24 hours a day seem to be far less than enough for all the things I'd like to do. And this is just partly due to the fact that I now teach KB around 20 hours per week in addition to some other work I still do, it is time management I should be more disciplined about. Use those seemingly "too-short-to-do-anything"-breaks, too, otherwise they add up to several hours of wasted time a day.
Good news shoulder-wise: no pain or discomfort these days, although I started adding OH presses back in. I'm practicing the move by doing just one strict military press ladder a session (1 to 5, no reclean) with a light weight, otherwise I do arm bar presses, side presses, kneeling/half-kneeling presses. I'm working the getups and do some windmills, too. I've tried some 12kg snatches, 5*30/30, and as those were fine, the next time I went for sets of 10/10 @16kg. Last Thursday I even snatched the 24kg a couple of times just to see if I still could (I couldn't resist, lol, but at least I somehow managed not to overdo it) and they were stronger than ever. The Cert is next weekend, I'll try and finally clean up those presses of mine and then I hope to be able to get serious about ROPping them up a bit :)

Gabi,
Glad to hear your shoulder is feeling better. I've started pressing again as well and it really feels good. I did a grad workout with my class yesterday which involved walking see saw presses and my should felt awesome afterward. I hope you have a great time at your upcoming cert!
Jason
Thank you, Jason,
I'm very strict with form and I keep the volume low and it feels real good so far. I think I just have to make sure not to rush things, slow and steady progress is the way :)
Keep up the good work, the grad workout is pretty serious, seems like you really have your shoulder under control!
