If it is coming from the top of the shoulder, it could possibly be the AC ligament. The reason that I say this is because I just went to the doctor about 10 days ago for the same thing. Here is a link to a site that you may want to take a look at. Hope it helps. http://shoulderpaininfo.com/shoulderA...

I understand that I am to be sore the next day after each workout. Trust me, I am. And I have cut back workout schedule. Not because I think that 2 hours in the gym is too much, I just have too much going on to spend that kind of time in the gym. Now I pack two hour workouts into about one hour, goi...

Well, the intensity of workout doesn't drop at all during workout. I increase the weight with each set throughout the whole entire workout. I would say that at minute 50-55 the intensity is the same if not greater than when I started. What works for me may not work for you. It doesn't mean that what...

Hey swanso5, it works for me! muscles are not sore, I get a great workout in, and I am seeing results. This is not 2 hrs straight with one muscle group. I mix in abs (about 9 sets total) during each workout. So I maybe work this one muscle group for a total of 1 hour or more. This is something that ...

I haven't noticed the pain this week at all, mostly because I haven't over worked shoulders. This week I have really focused on stretching before I pick up the weights and I feel this is another reason shoulder has not felt strained. The intensity of workouts has actually increased since I have limi...

I did first shoulder exercise yesterday without any pain. I was able to do front dumbbell raises (with relatively light weight) with proper form without any sharp pain. That was the only exercise that I did (yesterday was back day) and have not had a chance to look at the web site by Eric Cressey. I...

Any time I rotate arms 90 degrees, there is a loud "clicking" coming from left shoulder area. There is also significant pain in that area. Lateral raises are not to uncomfortable but there still is a bit of pain. Front/Rear presses are out completely! This was favorite exercise to perform ...

I will take your advice, thanks. I will try and keep it to 5 days a week with the weights and let shoulder heal for the time being. Even light weights with the shoulder hurts but I will try and find some type of exercise that I can do to keep the pain to a minimum.
