It's good to see someone that had injuries work on rehabing them (I/O and MM if I recall) and progress back to challenging lifts.
I did have those problems. Right shoulder, left hip and some lively erectors - squatting was killing my left shoulder, with pain shooting down my arm, and my hip would collpase in, which led to knee and lower back issues. Fun stuff. It's holding up very well with these lifts though.

Since I'm doing SO many damn squats, plus the pressing, I'm doing quite a bit of overhead shrugging, protracting exercises and foam roller work (including thoracic extensions). I'm maintaining the mobility I gained over the last year.
