Read it and liked what I saw. Watched Pavel with Rogan and liked what I heard.
I was doing S&S, was on my fifth month and proceeding nicely. Got up to swings with the 40kg and was working on TGUs with the same when I lost it on my left side on the last part of the movement (steps 12 and 13 for those who use a 14 step process with the TGU). Trying (stupidly) to save it I managed to damage my Deltoid to Humerus attachment point.
I'm certain it was due to my:
1. Ego--trying to get to the Sinister way too quickly
2. Doing the "Standard" every workout.
So...lesson learned as I'm benched for a few weeks waiting for this thing to heal. (Any tried and true rehab pointers would be appreciated). (I have full range, but sharp soreness when raising overhead or extending and lifting up). Pain/trigger point is just above midway up the upper arm, directly between the bicep and triceps.
Takeaways:
Less is more
Never go to failure
Allow adequate rest periods
"Owning" a particular KB on a particular movement is a far taller bar than most of us think.
