Just monitor your progress carefully, and especially watch for shoulder injuries. If you don't have a history for them (like I do) you should be fine. It's really hard to say without actually seeing you perform your lifts, and just looking at your posture in general.

Maybe some day I will video myself doing some movements. Youtube emm and let you critique. I have been doing many of the multi joint movements for some time, along with reading lots of literature on proper form. So I think I am pretty close if not right on. One that I don't have a lot of experience with are the cleans. They are fantastic, but I bet my technique is lacking a bit. Funny you mention shoulder issues. I have a bad left shoulder, and have had one for a long time. I haven't yet diagnosed exactly what the problem is. I can't do a lot of the over head movements, mainly the over head squat.......I just can't get my shoulders in the proper position (ROM issues) and the left is just painful. So I scale or substitue movements that cause me excessive pain or discomfort. All the while working on rehab and flexibility in the shoulders. I will continue to be conservative.

Glad you liked the video. It cracks me up every time I watch it. His sister is excellent and I expect he will be a fan of hers for many wonderful years.
Thanks again, Jean Paul, for taking the time that you do to touch base with the community.
