Finish with GMB Shoulder Mobility

Ponder
GMB Lead Trainer Rose kindly responded to my question about programming the Push section for my HSPU program, recommending Bent-Arm Bear, since it's a bit closer in the progression than the Knee Pushup.

My slightly unstable left shoulder continues to be a useful training tool, in that it lets me know quickly and painfully if I fail to keep my elbows in while executing any inverted press or Bent-Arm Bear.  As long as I keep the elbows in, there's no pain.

Based on the self-assessments, it's time to progress on Reverse Row Sit Back and Shrimp Squat.  Next variation for the former is elevating the feet on a chair.  For the Shrimp Squat the next variation is the Stall Step.

Stumbled upon this old thread on Front Lever training:
