About 2 months after my first meet, I realized that my shoulders were FUBAR from prior injury. I had full SLAP tears on both shoulders, but the right side was the one that had the most pain. I went in for surgery in May of 2018 for this. WIthin about 30 days, I was back to working with a 20kg (44lb) bar overhead. 5 months after this, I would entered my first USAW sanctioned meet, flying out to Atlanta to compete.
