Thanks

Way to recognize it though. Sometimes we have to toe the line in order to know where the line is.

That’s true. Speaking of toeing the line, I had a weird fall off the bar trying to learn a new bar MU technique yesterday (I’m clumsy), and now my shoulder is throbbing. I may not get in the rest of this week’s lifting. I hope it gets back to normal soon! Stuff was feeling good this cycle!
