Haven't noticed any pain during or after with the exercise so far, so that's a good thing...
I do my military presses until my upper arms are just a hair below parallel to the floor, Dan...usually traslates to around the top of my nose. Going below this seems to take the stress off my deltoid muscles and transfer it to other muscles.

Speaking of military presses, hit my DG goals again today, and added some heavy dumbbell presses for volume. Ended the workout with some heavy dumbbell shrugs and thick bar barbell shrugs for grip strength. Some extreme stretching, and it was time for lunch.
