Last week, my rear delts were really sore during my heavy upper body day. Now I knkow why: overhead squats. I think I may keep doing them as part of my light lower body days just to stay in practice! I'll probably replace front squats, since that's how I keep getting injured. It's impossible to do overhead squats with bad form.
I think the woodchoppers isolate whatever muscle it is that I pulled. I could distinctly feel the twinge when doing woodchoppers from right to left, but it felt perfectly fine from left to right. Still, the pain wasn't large enough for me to complain about. I'll still take it light for a couple more weeks before jumping into heavy lifts again.
I'm also really liking the ab pulldown things. Unfortunately, I'm already using the whole stack on this particular machine, but one of the others may have more (maybe the lat pulldown?).
