Element 7 - Shoulder press

Looks like I identified the cause of my shoulder problems.  My shoulder hurt after the workout today (not during) just like last week.  One of the machines I used last week was the Shoulder Press.  I think I am doing it with elbows too wide.  Next time that's on the agenda, I'm going to talk to the coach and see what I can do.  At the very least, I'm thinking I can do the press with elbows forward like a clean & jerk, I had been doing it with them wider than that.

Pullups were part of the workout again, and I got 24 in 2 minutes using 2 green bands.  That's my best by far.  I do think it has more to do with technique than strenght, but I'm hoping it means that next time I see 20 of those on a workout it won't destroy me.
