Hey, hey, hey. Let's keep a good thought about those shoulders.
The workouts are looking great.
Gotta love those split squats combined with step ups.
Using 30 pounders for those is brutal.

Can you remove the half naked picture of you in the first post. Every time I go into your log that's what I'm greeted with. Not that you are a bad looking man but it probably doesn't help my standing at work much.

Thanks folks. I'm very pleased about my recovery so far. I think the instability of the rings and reducing my rehab exercises to every other day has done wonders for strength/hypertrophy. I realized last night its been about 2 weeks since I stopped taking ibuprofen before bed. It almost became a habit in order to get a decent night's sleep. I think I'm almost normal.

You know Gabe you could just click the blue "v" icon next to the thread title and it'll take you right to the newest post. That is unless you get some type of guilty pleasure looking at my picture.
This was about my limit for vertical push/pull. Shoulder presses were a real effort. I subbed in pull-ups for wide grip lat pulldowns and I was a bit disappointed at how quickly I died off. They'll come back with time but still. No discomfort at the dead hang position, so I guess that's a plus.
On the rings-
Sit tuck: 2x30 sec (-1 set, +10 sec)
Sit L: 2x30 sec (-1 set, +10 sec)
Tuck planche: 3x20 sec
HS against wall: 4x30 sec
Was planning to do a the squat workout today but my knee had a slight twinge on the way down the stairs so I opted for the ring workout. Probably just a remnant of yesterday's fun in the snow with the kids. Lots of running around and occasional falling. I increased the duration on two exercises this morning. Couldn't bring myself to do it for the planches. HSs were on the floor.
Jeebus, that is almost unreal. Do they wear something on their hand to execute the one handed spins? Any catch on that could shatter the entire arm.

It's interesting to compare these parkour guys (relatively skinny) to gymnasts who are rather jacked, yet both accomplish the same type of moves. I'd have to say that gymnasts probably are a bit more power centered.
About four inches of crusty snow was waiting for me at 4 AM so I broke out the shovel and got most of the driveway cleared off. The kids' snow mound/igloo was about 7 feet high when I was done. Heavy rains all day compacted it some.
Decent workout today. Shoulder was "clunky" yesterday, most likely a result of the shoveling. Was a bit sore this morning when I awoke, but was OK by the time I started exercising. Threw a pack of frozen peas on the shoulder afterwards for preventative measures.
