shoulders sore on a chest workout?

[Andy13]

I used to have this same problem.. For me, it was my technique.. Pre-exhasting didn't work..

Try keeping your shoulder blades retracted throughout the entire motion when performing a chest exercise.

Also squats, when im done with squats my lower back is killin me, i usually work through the pain and go straight to deadlifts, but by the time im walkin to my car its very hard to walk because of the tightness of my lower back.....drama

Stretching after each set has helped me alot as well. It made a huge difference.

Same thing happens to my traps when I work chest but I have no problem with that as my traps are my best body part so I must be doing something right LOL

I just seperate my chest and shoulder workouts as much as possible. Seems to help a lot. If you train chest and shoulders on the same day u run the risk of overtraining. Nothing worst than a shoulder injury mid cycle!!!!

Same here.. I tend to raise my shoulders when I get sloppy with chest exersices... That's where my training partner would come in.. My traps over-power the rest of me too.
I also think this is a result of not-so-good back training that I sometimes slip into. When you elevate your shoulders (especially during rows) you hit those traps some..

Hayes Jones is correct. Presses (particularly bench) are the worst for shoulder rotator cuff injuries. Pre exhaust with flies.

I use dumbells a lot and never have any problem with my shoulders getting sore.

5 DAYS AGO I INJURED MY RT SHOULDER WHILE BENCH PRESSING. I DONT REALLY KNOW WHEN IT HAPPENED,BUT THE PAIN STARTED THE NEXT DAY AND HAS GRADUALLY WORSENED.DOES THIS SOUND LIKE A ROTATOR CUFF INJURY?

Might be tendonitis. Is the pain in the front on the shoulder?
