I figured I made an account so might as well post.
I've been seriously lifting since about January last year now. All my lifts have gotten stronger except my shoulder press. In the summer, I got up to 40 or 45 (can't remember) x6 for DB shoulder press. I went for 50x3 one day and my shoulder/arm was tired and gave out and kind of bent backward and I dropped the dumbbell behind me. Ever since then my press has been weaker, I've recently been getting 40x6 on a good day, but usually 35x8.
I never felt injured after I screwed up that 50x3 but is it possible I hurt myself? Alternatively, am I just being a little bitch that needs to do more shoulder training? I train shoulders as much as every other part of my body and all my other lifts have gone up (including flat BB bench).
Advice?

- went for 50x3 DB press about 6 months ago and failed, no pain or apparent injury
- can't get past 35x8 or 40x6
- other lifts have all gone up since

I am not a professional or anything i have weak shoulders because i never worked them out. but when i got serious it started to effect me and when i worked them out i noticed that they are really weak!! So my advice to u is to start slow and build ur self up! start 20 with high reps. strengthen them. thats what iam doing but an injury or something like that i would go just in case to make sure its not serious go to a doc. other than that start slow.

I feel like an extra 20 is a big deal for me personally. But yeah, the bench thing confused me too. It couldn't just be my chest that got bigger, could it?
I think I might try going back to my previous 12, 8, 6, 3 routine and see if I can make some gains that way.
Does anyone know if I should change up this routine at all?
Chest, Shoulders, Triceps:
- Flat BB Bench
- DB Shoulder Press
- Cable Chest Flies
- Dips
- Lateral Raises
3 sets of each.
