535.0 kgs @ 92.8kgs UnEq		Good luck with the targets mate. Careful with the shoulder, though, you don't want to f**k it up like i have mine. Particularly as bench press looks like the target which which might require most work, as Malc says, though all well achievable.

good goals Ed...

sound idea on the DL, a few moderately heavy lifts every now and again, along with pushing up your squat should do the trickHappy

535.0 kgs @ 92.8kgs UnEq		My left shoulder I injured over a year ago and left it for a year, then my shoulder and lat seized up, causing me mobility problems so i couldn't squat. (Ironically it didn't stop me benching) Basically it's an impingement in my shoulder which means i can't fully straighten my arm. Looks a bit weird. I am getting physical therapy for it, but have done no proper benching or pressing for a couple of months. Do i wish i'd looked after them better. It was a case of 'i've never been injured, what can go wrong?' Now i know. Will be back benching soon, i think, it's on the mend.
