Arm straight out Sue. IF you bend the arm, not nearly so much leverage. Straight out in front, across the body - using different point/s of the compass?

See IF I can find illustrations for this'un.

Another point. Warning: don't bring arm out to the back of you, whether arm is bent or straight. This will do a lot of damage to an already damaged rotator cuff! And steer well clear of overhead stuff. Even taking items off high shelves; stand on a kitchen stool or summat. But ensure that the stool is one of those safety ones, with a bar in front, to grab and steady. (Don't want you guys falling forwards/backwards off stools!)
