About a year and some extra left to go and then I'm done. How is living in Costa Rica? Have you lived there your whole life?

Maybe you're talking about my elbow, but my shoulder has bothered me a bit lately. What I do for both though, is I make sure I warm up thoroughly with a 3-4 warm up sets usually on the tricep machinge. With shoulders I grap a light weight and rotate my arms both ways 15-20 x 2-3 and maybe some really light lateral raises to the front and sides to get the joints warmed up. haha Injuries are one of my biggest fears you know?
