Comments - Found a few peices of wood laying around that will enable me to drop my heel lift by 1/4" each time. As it is the drop of 1/2" this time was causing me a few problems. It made my knees feel a lot better (which is a massive plus) but I was having a lot of trouble stopping myself falling backwards. I wasn't able to reach my arms back at the bottom, any kind of shift and I was sent backwards. I'll work through it slowly though until I get it and stretch out those lats separately in the meantime.

ManMakers were pretty easy and I was happy with my form. Just a note to say that I can no longer feel the impingement on my lower back in hyper-extension - but it is throbbing a little after those swings. I'll be re-visiting the ETK dvd to keep on top of my form.

Shoulders tomorrow, but I did do a little bit of messing around yesterday with Arm Bars and Half Get Ups. My right is still a bit below par, but was plenty able to get me through and finished feeling better.

Right now the plan is to stay the course with the corrections and take my time bumping up the intensity of the ManMakers to give my shoulders plenty of time to get up to scratch.
