Gym, and shoulder

I hadn't been to the gym for a week--largely because of travel--and wound up doing a relatively short workout, because of tenderness in a knee joint and, especially, my right shoulder, which I try not to take too many chances with. I've also been a bit more consistent about my shoulder stretches and strengthening exercises in the last few days--I had slacked off some after I stopped going to the physical therapist.

Cardio, 20 minutes, top heart rate 145

Chest press, 70 pounds, 10; 65 pounds, 10
Calf machine, 75 pounds, 12, 10; 70 pounds, 12
Tricep pulldown, 50 pounds, 15, 9. I stopped because of shoulder tenderness, a bit short of pain (and let's keep it that way).
Leg press, 270 pounds, 15; 320 pounds, 7; 270 pounds, 12

Crunches, 4 sets of 20
Back arches, 3 sets of 17
Tree, 4 sets of {3 on each leg}, good balance this time

Bicep curl, 25-pound bar, 16. Again, stopped because of shoulder.
