Comfortably box squatted 270 this week. Heaviest thing I've picked up since last February, so felt great to have it feel light and move pretty well. Now just have to remember how to do it as a regular squat.
On the less happy side, I wrecked my neck and shoulder holding my kid. Thank goodness I got into the ortho quick and they gave me steroids and I'm set for trigger point injections Monday. I tried everything I know to get it to release, but no dice, and I can't have my stupid neck waking me up in the middle of the night when I also need to be getting up with a baby. I've never had TPI with anything other than dry needling so definitely curious how I respond.

How the f are you squatting 270 but screwing up your shoulder carrying a 14 lb kid?
Man I just went through something similar. Look into your head position needs when sleeping. If you're on your side, JUST your head should be on your pillow. If you're on your back, then ideally your head AND the top of you shoulders. Both will keep proper neck and spine alignment.
I also did some digging on pain "referral", in that when you have a lot of pain in your upper back, traps, or rhomboids, it actually may be pain coming from the discs in your neck. This diagrams sort of illustrates which discs can trigger pain in which areas. You might want to do some neck stretches during the day and before bed.
Well, I'm only squatting 270 for like a minute, I was holding a baby mostly with my left arm (because I'm right handed) 16-18 hours a day for 12 weeks straight 🙃 All the muscles on the front and side of my neck are stuck and the brachial plexus is right under there. I thought it would improve when I went back to work but it somehow got worse? Guess I'm an old now, my injuries are all from STUPID things. (This is a very cute one, but still dumb way to hurt yourself lol)
How are you all using ChatGPT etc to make meal plans and shopping lists? My results thus far have been less useful than just handwriting a list.
My holy grail is an AI bot that will look at the items available at my local Sam's and Kroger and make me a weekly meal plan and shopping list of what is available.
