Thinking about making a log..

Well if u think about it- strong big shoulder girdle will help...
1.your bench- which is clear.
2. Your squat-give u a place to put the damn bar without being crushed-especially if you front squat.
3. Big shoulders make you look wide and powerful overall. A big back is important, but to finish that "v" look, the shoulders add even more width.
4. I think Jim wendler wrote that the better you get at pressing overhead, the better your shoulder health (given you do make sure to use some light weights for rhomboids and work your rotator cuffs.

Hope that' was insightful

Yeah man that was pretty informative thanks a lot!

I have brought my shoulders up quite a bit doing seated military presses, heavy dumbbell rows and Arnold presses and have noticed my other upper body lifts going up as well

So.. I have a "boxers break" below the 5th metacarpal in my right hand.
If I stay constantly in my back cast or "splint" I MAY be able to resume training in a week. Still having to wear my cast for 4-5 weeks following. Only remove able for showers and training and air to the skin.
Hopefully I can maintain my eating schedule and not go to crazy with the small man syndrome
