I will certainly check into that

I actually cut ALL "pushing" movements out. Only doing pulling stuff. As for a press-type thing, the guy took me to the free weight room and we did dumbells (really light, like 15-20#). I can not push ANYTHING natural grip... even doing the arm straight up, bend back, straight up thing w/ 5# that my PT wants me to do KILLS. I realized with his help that a couple angles hit it just different enough that it's not horrible.

It is good to push yourself from time to time. Just remember as a training tip, going balls to the wall all the time will drain your body.

I only really tried to go balls to the wall yesterday. Thank you for the tip though... are you saying I should go back and forth between reps and balls out? My thing is that I never seem to be sore the day after...
The only thing that hurts today is my elbow... the rest of my body (legs included) don't really even feel like I did anything yesterday. Is that normal? Does that mean I'm doing something wrong? I would think I'd be sore after how much I did yesterday.
