Shoulder pain during and after chest day

jessekib · 11-20-2007, 10:35 AM

Lately I've been having a pain in both my shoulders on chest day, and not so much on shoulder day. Could this be that im lifting too heavy? A while back I gained a bunch of strength

and since then i've been lifting alot more than i have normally lifted. Is this just a normal pain that goes with lifting heavy or should i lighten up?

1) no warmup
2) bad form
3) bad shoulders
4) no RC strength
5) not enough rest between chest days

Stop doing flat bb bench and see what happens. What's your current chest workout? Are you warming up?

whenever doing any kind of pressing exercise, you need to warm up your shoulders really well.

i always warm up my rear delts, no matter what muscles i am working.

I warm up everyday. I will try longer warming up sessions maybe.
My chest w/o consists of flat bench either bb or db, Incline (oppisite of what i did for flat). Flys or pec deck, dips

I workout chest once a week
