Help with shoulder pain......

[Isreal]

Hello,I have been coming to this site for quite some time and have never posted or introduced myself. I am an avid weight lifter been lifting weights since being in the Marines. I am now 35 and still continue to make great gains with lifting. Anyway, I weigh about 175 and was doing my chest workout Sunday:

Flat BB Bench- 6, 5, 3 Were the last set was 365 for 3 times..

Incline DB- 8, 6, 4 Were the last set was 115 for 4 times.

Cable Crossovers- 8, 8, 8


After I had finished I felt great, except when I started to stretch out my shoulders. I felt a very slight pull from my left shoulder to my elbow. Nothing painful just felt like a little tight. I continued to workout for the next couple of days with the discomfort growing. For the last couple of days I have done nothing but Ice and rest. The pain is weird I can lift my arm in any direction and if I do it quickly I have no pain but if I go slow I can fell the pain in the top towards the back of my shoulder. I have never had problems with my shoulder before. When I am driving I feel fine except when I bring my arm back to my lap when I relax it feels like the muscle has been flexed for a long time and it cramps then passes once it is completely relaxed into my lap. The pain is about a 5 out of 10. Just bothers me because I know I need rest but hate to continue to take time off, I know recovering from an injury is what makes you a stronger and smarter lifter.

Any suggestions on what it might be? Thanks and Semper FI.

Go next to a wall and try to do a lat raise against the wall with your arm bent

if this causes pain you might have impigement... continue to ice and rest, and do some rotator cuff and rear delt exercices


btw 365 for reps @ 175 is ****ing incredible

It may be RC issues.
