(per twitter) session 69: no treadmill, 3x cybex circuit, and I think I figured out how to dodge my rotator cuff issue on overhead press \o/

leg curl: 12x+ 70#
leg press: 12x 210# is do-able fresh but by set 3 I backed off to 190
overhead press: 10-12x 70#
arm curl: 8-10x 50#
ab crunch: 12x 110# if I hang all over the armrest, 16x+ 70#
arm extension: 10-12x 70#
chest press: 12x+ 90#

After reviewing a video of exercise for rotator cuff injury physical therapy, I had a much clearer idea of what my overhead press issue was. My suspicion was correct, I NEED to push out as well as up, and this explains why I was more prone to run into pain at lower weight settings, and on the return (downstroke) so much more so than the upstroke. And finally, it explains why the machine is designed with that lateral range of motion in the grip assembly - to encourage that outward pressure.
