    Sun.

    OFF

    A few questions:

    1. How does this routine look? How do the exercises, sets, and reps look?

    2. For variety can I sometimes switch it up and do upright external rotations using a shoulder horn (as seen here: http://www.exercisecertification.com...ulderhorn.html ) instead of lying dumbbell external rotations? Are upright external rotations good for working the infraspinatus and teres minor?

    3. Should I add hammer curls and dumbbell front raises to the mix or are they not necessary?
