Standing over head presses can take a toll on your shoulders, I love doing them but they seem to have a negative effect on my flat bench, and overall shoulder health. If its not so bad, try rotating them in and out of your training, sub them in every once in a while.

Quote:
Standing Military Press 5x5 @135
A2G 5x5 (-20%) @ 140
Dead Lift 5x5 @175
Pull ups 5x5 @ bodyweight
Alternating DB curls 3x8 @45 Eh, I'll do this tomorrow....what a slacker
Standing DB Calf Raises 3x8 @50
Rear Lateral Delt raises 3x8 @25
Also, with this set up its amazing that your doing what your doing. I couldnt imagine dong overhead presses, directly into squats, then on to deadlifts ... I wouldnt be able to walk home.

I used a program at one point that supersetted overhead press, and deads ... needless to say I had to start out much lighter then what I could have been doing, and ended up only improving my endurance on those movements, while my strength gains suffered.
