Seated Dumbbell Shoulder Press

[likewater9]

I've been doing 60lb dumbells for this exercise for two weeks or so. I can do the weight without a problem, but my left shoulder fatigues after I'm done. I'm not sure if fatigue is the right word, but I feel somewhat of a shooting pain and then the shoulder becomes tired as hell.
Naturally, I want to increase the weight very soon, but this left shoulder pisses me off :/

Opinions?

Theres a pain???

I suggestu better rest it out.

Mind you, the pain is bearable and I've been working through it for over a month.

Btw, I have given my shoulder rest, but it hasn't helped.

shooting pain > not fatigue

go and see a doctor, physio, watever

It may be, perhaps, that the weight you are using is a little heavy and you are stressing thr rotator cuff more than it can handle.

I personally would suggest resting it for a week then trying with lighter dumbbells and see if it feels any better...also, perhaps you need someone to assess your form as perhaps you are overly rotating or angling the press and thus stressing the joint in a strange angle thus producuing pain not directly in conjunction witht he muscular ache.

Just my thoughts

Yea.
Rest the shoulders for at least a week and see how it goes.

Are you working your shoulders after your chest? On my push days I do two chest movements and then usually seated db presses, and I get some pain in my delts too... Usually they're just worn out from being used so much ( any of my pressing movements )

after you rest try a barbell instead of dumbells, that way you have to ballance the bar and you wont have one dumbell going up and the other low. you could lessen the weight as well.

Thanks for the responses.
As abovementioned, I tried resting shoulders for more than a week. The same problem keeps coming back.

If I can rep this weight for sets, then would I be getting a solid workout if I used 50s instead?

I guess I'll try alternating w/ BB.
