Left shoulder pops and pain when doing bent over laterals

[PowerTricks]

It doesn't hurt too much but it's enough to make an audible sound and a cringing feeling. How can I avoid this?

Check your form. If not, have someone check your form for you. I'm not an expert but if you're hearing something going wrong it's time for some evaluation

If you hear a popping noise you could be doing too much weight. you want to do low weight with bent over laterals, and make it between a rep range of 12 to 15 reps. If you dont think you are doing to much weight like the other guy said check your form, because bent over laterals and regular laterals are 2 different exercises. not only that but some people get that mixed up with dumbbell upright rows. so make sure your form is in check and make sure you can do 12 to 15 reps.

Okay lol. What are some other good rear deltoid exercises that I could use?

you could try seated rear deltoid flye. (in terms reverse pec-dec flye). that is good for your rear deltoids. Here's how to do it:

holding 2 light dumbbells, sit on a comfortable bench on the end. put your chest in your lap like you were going to tie your shoe, hold the dumbbells at your feet.

the move:
pull the dumbbells toward the ceiling maintaining a slight arch in your elbows and "fly" up with the dumbbells.

its sort of like your flying but your "reverse flying." its a lot like the bent over lateral raise, just seated. It focuses more on your rear deltoids.

Oh sorry that's what I meant. I made a mistake in the thread title. I meant I get the pains in seated rear deltoid flyes. This article http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/bench_press_secrets.htm shows the bent laterals as seated flyes I think. Or maybe I'm confusing the terminology again.

same thing happens to me on DB flys. I just avoid them.

any that doesn't make your shoulder hurt.

First off:

*make sure the weight you are using is not heavy, its not a compound movement..

*Check form in a mirror if you can

* If its still hurting get it checked out, may be a ****** rotator cuff muscle.

I'm pretty sure it's not a RC injury because I don't do a lot of shoulder intensive exercises and can't bench very heavy weights lol.
