    GL with your goals!
    It is ok to start with shoulder presses if you find they are your week point.

    Just remember you can do anything, you are the assassin!

    Personally I wouldn't start with shoulders. I believe there is enough shoulder involvement in your chest movements to be beneficial. In fact, I didn't start seeing real improvement in my shoulders until I started a push/pull/legs program with shoulders done after chest. Of course if high numbers in shoulder press are a goal of yours by all means start there. Looks to me your shoulder press numbers are pretty good in relation to you chest press #'s. Good stuff.

    Perfectly fine to start with overhead press, training movements not bodyparts.

    I do different bouts on intesity too on cardio equipment. On a bike Ill increase the intensity for a min then lower it for the next minute and repeat.

    On the eliptical I go forward for 5 min then backwards for another 5, repeat. Treadmill is usually speed increasing or decreasing rather than incline.

    Raising the incline pretty far and jogging for a while makes the top part of my foot where it meets my shin burn!
    6' 203lbs (12-10-12)

    Deadlift after herniation 385lbs 3x3 (3/17)

    yeah i try to stay as long as i can when doing a max. effort shot .... it's very hard to concentrate and focus your mind but it becomes easier by time... i think doing the same cardio workout for a while makes your body get used to it...
