Journal Comments for Matt Z

I woke up with a sore shoulder on Monday, so I ended up doing Sled Leg Presses and Trap-bar Jumps instead of Front Squats and High Pulls. Today, I did a light upper-body workout consisting of Military Presses, Kettlebell Swings and Close-grip Pull-downs. My shoulder is feeling much better, but not quite 100% yet.
