Glacial improvement with this shoulder. Still feels off, but not painful.

Signed up for a local USAPL meet that my gym is holding first week of April. This will be the longest I've gone without stepping on the platform since I started competing. Of course, the last time I did, things didn't go so well...I'm looking to change that!

When was the last time you competed? For me it was '17, not counting a virtual meet last August.
