I must have been learning...your suggestion, Steve, is one of the options I've been considering. I think in order to err on the side of caution, I'll probably go to 20 Kg when I move up this time. Am I being overly cautious?

DrJAG2: I hadn't thought about rows. I haven't done heavy rows in years.

The thing that throws me about this is that my pain is not only on my strong side, but it's anterior where the delts are larger. I can dead snatch with no problem; I'm guessing that I'm stressing the rotator cuff by decelerating at the top of the 'regular' snatch movement. It's not the pull that is causing the problem, I don't think. That would show up in the rear of the cuff, right?

I'm assuming that it's the snatches that are causing the problem. What's the likelihood that it's the presses? I tried to isolate it, but the movements themselves don't cause any pain. It's only later after I cool off.
