Shoulder pain after front squats
Well I injured my left shoulder a while back doing military press. I tried to go all the way down to get the full ROM but I did so with too much weight at first rather than going light and gradually working up. So after that injury I made sure to warm up my rotator cuffs (sp?) before doing shoulders or chest and the pain went away.
Then I started doing front squats. By holding the weight across my delts and upper chest I started feeling shoulder pain in the same spot (rotator cuff) on the same arm that hadn't reared its head since the military press injury. If I don't do front squats for a week or 2 the shoulder feels fine again. But after I do them it hurts all week, mostly when I raise my arm into the position where I hold the weight. So something about the position I hold my arms up for the front squat causes my shoulder to hurt.
Is there a way to fix this problem with exercises/stretches? I was thinking maybe I should just do some rotator cuff strengthening exercises and this would fix the problem but maybe there's something else to do? Any advice would be appreciated.
