benching/muscle soreness in rear delts??????

[buttbeater]

For the last 4-5 weeks i've been doing only flat benches, after i do my fist work set (275lbs. for 4-5 reps) i get this muscle pain in my rear delts. It feals like your rear delts would feel after a monster delt or lat work out. i've never experienced this in my 9 years of training, it hurts a little the next day and is then gone until my next bench day, any ideas?

Are you retracting your shoulder blades? COuld be teh tension fro mdoing that.

Otherwise don't know what to tell ya.

As long as it doesn't hurt in a pain type of way and it doesn't feel like your rotator cuff then I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I get it to from heavy incline bb bench. Not sure why actually.

Could it be from antagonistic eccentric contraction?
The rotators are at the back too no?

sounds strange to me, do you flare your elbows way outside? do you bring the bar higher than your breastbone?

my elbows do flare a little, i do concentrate on the neg., and i bring the bar below my pecs.
