There is much info on the dangers of doing the overhead press/military press to the shoulders. Do a search on it.

It's cool, thanks for looking out for me! I looked up issues with this exercise and read some articles before heading into the gym. As a result, I made a tweak to my form that will really save my shoulders in the long run. I think it helped.

The shoulder pain is around my rear delt. My upper back is hurting too, between my scapula and spine - like the lower trap or rhomboid. If this pain/injury is due to lifting, my main suspect is actually the bent rows. I'm doing it with flared elbows, in a posture I'm not comfortable with. I just don't think my back is used to the exercise.
