Looks like a fun list of events, Eric! I am not 100% sure I can attend, but the minute I find out I’ll let you know and register/pay/etc. The Kennedy Lift looks like something that won’t wreck my back since I can get the weight under me instead of out front.

I am undergoing testing (MRI, etc…) for my left shoulder to finally repair it this year. Not sure when I am going to get it done, so that is the big stumbling block. Because if my work approves it and it happens to be right before the contest – I’ll have to jump on it. Because it’s been 9 years at this point. And I want to be able to not only military press again (!) but be able to put my daughter up on my shoulders without feeling like my left shoulder is going to come unhinged.

Well, I just hashed it out in my head a bit and I could technically do the events with very light token weights and use one hand if it comes to that. Thor’s Hammer would still be fine since my right shoulder is my “good” one and I won’t be getting it repaired for a few years. It is nowhere near as bad as the left one. Could do a one hand Hack Press with my right arm. One hand straddle Kennedy Lift. And a one hand Dumbbell to Shoulder. Okay, I’ve talked myself into it!
