I'll post here instead of creating a new thread...hopefully it is read since this post is now a few weeks old I plan on running Operator/Black. I am trying to figure out a way of adding an exercise (yes, just one extra) such as inverted rows in order to correct a rounded shoulder issue that I've ha...

Congrats on getting started & welcome!

Pulled a muscle in my neck last night playing with the kiddo. Long night of icing and trying to sleep in a chair as a result. Taking it easy today and resting.

I truly hate that kind of thing! Quick return to normalcy!
