Thanks man, I just really need to be diligent on getting my sides higher, but I feel when u do them individually u cant get as much bc I have more range and no swing

it is but front lifts dont really affect them. As far as db shoulder press it hurts it worse than anything so im only throwing up the 80s right now for those =(

I know what you mean, I'm just now really pushing my limits again since my broken humerus. The only thing that really bothered me was DB flyes, but they are feeling normal again now

65's are solid weight...I personally like to use 135 on a barbell and try to do reps with this weight and not swing, ever try it??

If you do your side laterals like I do which is down to the sides and not to the front you won't be able to swing them up. I go up to 80's and I tell you bro...it works!

Stress fracture from powerlifting, but actually fully snapped it in 2 places throwing a softball. It snapped right where the damn stress fracture was. I thought it was simply tendonitis so I'd quit doing curls and any movements that contracted my bi not ever thinking it was a stress fracture. Then I went to turn a double play in a game and the torque and whipping motion of bringing my arm back and coming forward just snapped it. The doctors told me they'd never seen it happen like that or that they've never seen the humerus break unless there's a lot of trauma like a car wreck or getting hit directly in the arm.
