question about order

[countzero]

heres what I'm doing for back/shoulder day

deads 5x5
cleans 4x5
lat pulls 2x8
shoulder press 5x5
cuban presses 2x10

question is should I put cuban presses before the s.presses or leave it like it is? the main reason I am asking is to make sure that the shoulders are throughly warmed up. I havent had any problems and would like to keep it that way.

Whats a cuban press?

um lets see how to describe this .....
I use dbells start with them down by your side
pull them up with your upper arms moving perpindicular to your shoulders as your elbows become even with your shoulders rotate your forearms up past your shoulders until your arms form 90 degree angles - like you are doing a double bicep pose. oh fuck it - does anyone have a link?

Not sure if it is the same, though.

yeah that's it- except with dbells you are not going to hit yourself in the head.

The order is correct. Always do the heavier, more compound, more intense stuff first. Obviously cubans are more of an assistance exercise so they should go last.

appreciate it joncrane. I was just making sure My shoulders were getting nice and warmed up.

I believe they are called cuban rotations, not cuban press

I've seen them called both - but I could be wrong. If so my bad.
