Axle clean once and press
155 x 5
175 x 3
195 x 2
Super-set with band pull-aparts: 3 x 15

SSB front squats
270 x 5
305 x 3
345 x 3 (PR)
270 x 10 (PR)
Super-set with pull-ups: 3 x 12

Incline dumbbell press: 80s x 5 (stopped due to shoulder pain)

Swiss bar bench press
235 x 3 (stopped due to shoulder pain)
225 x 6, 7, 7

Shoulder was a little achy pressing overhead, but manageable. Incline pressing even light weight hurt the most and I opted to shut that down rather than ignore the pain, even though the weight was moving quick. 

First set of bench press hurt. For the second set, I stripped off the 5 lb plates to bring it down to 225, and then focused on pressing in more of a downward trajectory than normal, almost as if I was decline benching. It worked, and by the third set I was bench pressing with minimal pain.

Real happy with how my front squats are progressing. I'd like to try the snatch grip with a straight bar again sometime with a silly idea to prevent the bar slipping: double-sided cat tape wrapped around it. It's designed to make cats' paws stick to surfaces they shouldn't be on, driving them to avoid it. I have some in storage somewhere. 

Bicep is about the same: there's pain but it's manageable. I will have to say goodbye to log cleans for awhile, but I was able to do unassisted pull-ups this time and they felt good.
