The Arnold was fantastic. Amazing athletes all around. Inspirational and very motivating. If you have not ever been to the Arnold Classic you should put it on your calendar for next year. But on to the facts...
Doing pretty well. Have been wod ing pretty consistently, have been fairly clean and doing some extra cardio. I have lost 8 lbs and 2% body fat since 2/28 (last monday). I am still not where I was in November, but heading the right direction. Now... as Ryan always reminds me... I will do well if I can just stick with it and not derail! I have something special coming up that should keep me motivated at least a few more weeks. ;)
I have lost alot of strength... especially in my shoulder with the torn rotator cuff. Today I tried to press and could only use 20 lbs... anything more and I couldn't even see straight from the pain and couldn't do a back squat at all due to the positioning of my shoulder. But I can still clean and front squat. :) Most of my lifting is a bit limited now, but I'm doing as much as I can without massive pain!
