Hey everyone! I would recommend doing a castor oil treatment on your shoulders, it helps the healing process! Get some castor oil, put it on a towel, wrap it on your shoulder and then wrap plastic wrap all around the towel (kinda ghetto, I know). Then put some heat on the shoulder – it will help soothe the shoulder.

Or, if you have a large bath tub (or a jacuzzi), put in epsom salts and soak from the neck down!

Try those and see how your shoulders feel!

I’m guessing that would help my elbows too?

Good tips, I always forget about Epsom salt and I’m going to try the castor oil!

M&A complete
A. 95/105/115/120/125/130/130/130
B. 105/`115/125/135/145×2 failed 3rd/145×2. This is a big reason my clean is so weak. How do you gain strength at almost 50 yrs of age?
C. DU/Dips: 5+8/5+1
15.5 flashback: 3rds/2+21
Great day of programming, thank you:)

Hi Nichole,

Next time we do front squats, I want you doing dead stop front squats to build strength for you to get out of the hole.
