About 4 days ago I hurt my left shoulder getting 90 lb dumbbells into position. I didn't have any pain but I heard something like tearing cooked meat in my shoulder while I was trying to stablize my left arm once I was lying down on the bench with the heavy dumbbells. I had a hard time stabilizing my left arm at the bottom position and almost lost control because of the heavy weight and my groove was off but I managed to finally get my arms into proper position. I'm not sure if my technique is wrong for getting heavy dumbbells into position. Are the dumbbells suppose to be touching on my outer chest once I'm lying down into position for dumbbell bench press and then get my arms into start position? I don't have them touch my outer chest and I just get my arms to starting position while lying back and I don't know if this is the wrong way to do it.

If you are in a gym get someone to give you a bump up when you go heavy. You waste a lot of energy getting them up initially.
