Went bowling on Tuesday and used my right arm. Shoulder got sore by the end of it. Didn't power-throw the ball or anything but was able to bowl normally.

Muay Thai yesterday focused on the clinch. Practiced controlling the opponent and then adding a 1-2 upper-cut elbow followed by the clinch. Eventually added a knee, and then a right elbow. New coach is teaching us a lot of actual Muay Thai and less kickboxing than before (I only recently learned elbows a couple weeks ago on his first day teaching). Class size was huge. Lots of people I haven't seen before. Unfortunately with so many new trainees I haven't sparred in several weeks, but part of that is my fault for not going to class enough.

Today I axle bench pressed 260x7. Was cautious about doing assistance work because I felt pain at the surgery site but it went well. Dumbbell pressed the 125 in my left and the 90 in my right for 2 sets of 8. Rowed the same amount of weight. The nervous parts for me are hoisting the dumbbells up into my lap and then the rows afterward. Also did weighted dips up to 70 lbs.
