I definitely hear what you're saying about your shoulder(s?). I figured that was what attracted you to the program. Also why I had mentioned an upper/lower. I would wonder if it's just the frequency that plays a role or whether the rep ranges play a role. On this your going to be doing a lot more volume on the 5x5 plus adding more volume on top of that. The flyes being especially tough for the shoulders and the dumbels being less stable. Doing that all at once....only time will tell how you react.

The kinda thing I was thinking before would have you working in the heavier rep range only once per week with perhaps some lighter work for a couple sets. And then working in a higher rep range the other day. Keeping the volume to a minumum on both days but maintaining a little more frequency. I'm not saying I know how your shoulders will react it was just an idea.

You may want to think about decline work on this, at least for the secondary dumbell stuff. In my experience that's a little easier on the shoulders.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
