Shoulder discomfort, need imput.

[SprtNVolcoM]

I've recently been having some shoulder discomfort in my right shoulder. I have a couple ideas in mind as to why this might be happening, I want your imput.

My thought:
1: Training to frequently (overtraining)
2: Started using BB bench press again, but I'm accustom to DB press.
3: Letro dose too high/too frequent

I'm thinking one of these three reason because I do train pretty frequently, 4x a week upper/lower spit, which has me training each body part 2x a week. Reason 2 is obvious, and I think most logical. & three because, as I've mentioned in another post, I feel the letro dose (.625 ED) is leaving me too dry. I was going to cut it back, but I havent yet.

What do you guys think?

You know I was on the fence about #1 & #2 myself. I initially thought #2, but I just realized (after some thought) that if could also be the direct delt work I do on chest/back day. My routine is usually, Chest/Back/Delts.

I have the option to cut back on day, giveing me 3days off a week if needed. Do you think I should take advantage of that & see how things workout? Or should I stop all direct delt work for a while?

i like some side delt and rear delt work to keep your shoulders balanced but if you are doing a lot of pressing movements like flat bench,decline,decline ,etc. your front delts are allready getting hit pretty hard .

learn how to set up like a powerlifter when you flat bench, it will take enough shoulders out of it that it should not bother it.

Cool. Thanks for the advice... I'll pull all direct front tel work out out my program for a while. That should help a lot. Again thanks...

You know, I think that might be where a lot of my problem is. One of my shoulders is off naturally a bit compared to the other, so when I set up I tend to compensate for that one side. With the weight still pretty evenly distributed a crossed each shoulder, I seem to sit funny on the bench. I'm going to work on that. I'm sure your right about my set up. Can you direct me to any links or info on how PLer set up for the press?

Much appreciated...
