1. Light Snatch Complexes, empty bar...up to 30kg
2a. Barbell row 4x6x60kg
2b. Push up 4x6

Slept extremely bad due to tension head ache. Light sn complexes just to move well and release the shoulder girdle. Feels better after the workout.

Bsq 3x3x110kg

Everything feels heavy today. 12th week of strength focus, guess I need to switch on base building, more aerobic stuff soon...

I see you are having shoulder issues. I've found that doing overhead press rather than bench has really improved my shoulder health. And when I do switch back to bench, it goes bad again.

Just my two cents.

@VenomousCoffee
Thanks for your comment! Yes, after 12 weeks of progressive benching, I'm having some odd feelings in my clavicle/shoulder girdle connection area. Not bad but a bit uncomfy. Considering my age (47) I do feel it's time to change the block after intensive strength focus. OHP might be a good idea. Thanks for your input!
