Y'all - when it's cold out you are advised to warm up your joints and muscles before indulging in heavy lifting or paddling. Maia recently injured her shoulder and is relegated to watching me and Andrew get really huge in the weight room. This is not ideal.
Your shoulder deserves extra care because it is essentially the conduit of energy between your massive torso and the dinky paddle in your hands. Shoulder exercises may be annoying to do but they sure can do a lot towards maximizing your durability. So next time you are in the weight room it is suggested that you get cozy with one of the therabands or light weight dumbbells. I mean seriously, think of everything that your bursa sac and rotator cuff have done for you over the years. The least you could do is show them the same respect you give to your abs and pecs and lats.

Wow, nice diagram Yonny. Hope you didn't have to do any disection to get the details right. I am a believer in the injury prevention benefits of rotator cuff exercises. They should be added to the program...not like it'll add that much more time to the lifing workouts.
I think 'getting huge' is a relative term, seeing as neither john nor andrew will ever be as big as me...its been fun watching them try though. and as a side note, those therabands are very helpful!
Ladies & Gentlemen,
the solution for shoulder problems is to use your legs. Todays training incorporated soccer, volleyball, field hockey, and running (some gymnastics and bench row as well, but mainly legs).
Greetings from a grey Germany without snow. The guys here are really impressed by your training/weight schedule.
Hope I'm not too thin compared to you when I'm back. Keep cool and slide well into the new year.

P.S.: Maia, my mother has therabands in various colors, it's incredible painful to do a one hour theraband workout. :-)
