Ive said it before, but damn ive got some MORE work to do.
At least I get to bulk up to over 200lbs,
I will aim for the May contest, I dont think I will try the Feb contest, but I might give it a go, even if i cant complete all the events, just to get a comp under my belt.
are you using leg drive on your overhead press work?
if not, you should probably start once you get your shoulders feeling good. Strict presses have their place, but the whole program pre-meet shouldn't consist of them.

no leg drive at the moment, will start doing heavy Push Presses after all the christmas/new years stuff passes

yeah im looking forward to competing, and getting stronger
Seeing any strength increases since Max Strength? I know you weren't the biggest fan ever of the results.
yeah, in 3 weeks I added 2.5kg to my Chin 3rm (thats what I added in 4 months with MS).
Squats are getting stronger, dont know by how much, but my form has improved by a heap, and all my squats now are ATG. But that has been thanks to the foam rolling and mobility from MS.
Squats
up to....
100kg x 3
x 2
x 2
- form was shitty
Hang Clean
60kg x 5
70kg x 3 x 2
60kg x 5
Farmers Walk
45kg e/h x 40m ( 1 turn) x 2 - easy
holds 50e/h x ~30secs x 2
- turns were much better
- very tired today
- I think in the new year I will add an events day, Trying to incorporate them into the week is very tiring
