heavy benching painful delts/shoulders

[benefit]

when i lift chest it feels great and everything i use the 5by5 routine i go as much as i can with bench when i am done benching i feel fine but when i move my arms for ex. lets say to scratch my head or something around my head area i feel pains in my delt/shoulder dont know why never happend before it started happening recently. is it maybe cuz i got sick or what?

if you are doing a seperate shoulder routine as well you may be overtraining the delts. very easy to do. thats why i do chest, delts and tris on the same day once a week. hope this helps.

Are you doing any warmups? What does your training schedule look like along with warmups?

Yeah, warmups make it easier on the delts. Start with some pushups first.

Also, some rotator cuff work once a week is always a great idea

How wide is your grip? If it too wide combined with the volume of the 5x5, your anterior delts will take a pounding. Raw benchers should use more tri's.
