Jul 22, 2013 at 23:26 comment added DavidR Wait, I may have been doing military presses with a pair of 30lbs dumbbells. This was a little while ago (and right now I'm barred from upper body work until some elbow tendonitis clears up, from said pullups)
Jul 22, 2013 at 23:15 comment added DavidR I wasn't doing overhead presses then (this was before I found this stack exchange :) ). I was doing 12 pullups at a bodyweight of 185, and dumbbell bench pressing a pair of 60lbs dumbbells. Admittedly, not the best numbers here. But I didn't feel like strength was the limiting factor for heavier weights on my rotation exercises, it was the elbow.
Jul 22, 2013 at 22:31 comment added Mephisto @DavidR21 what weight were you lifting overhead (barbell military or dumbbell shoulder/Arnold press or similar) at that time? A rough idea of the proportion between it and the RC exercises is what I need.

Jul 22, 2013 at 0:46 comment added DavidR @Mephisto - I was actually using a cable pull machine, and I'm not sure how it translates into dumbbell weights, so don't quote me on the exact poundage... maybe I should edit that into my answer.
