I've been working out for about a month and a half now and the more I keep trucking along I think "no wonder why so many people are out of shape, this stuff is hard." Anyway my ideal plan includes running in the mornings and 3 sessions of lifting at the gym per week and on chest day I'm noticing pain in my left shoulder. It hurts most on the bench and incline presses and it's killing me because I can lift more than my shoulder allows.
I've read some articles on Bodybuilding.com but I wanted to come here and see what your personal experiences were on dealing with shoulder pain and how to recover from it. Starting out 7 weeks ago I never started doing dedicated shoulder exercises until last week because I realized I should get my shoulders in shape as well as the rest of the muscles that are being worked on.
So with all that said how do I get over this? It seems like just when you get into the groove of working out some stupid injury gets in your way and you have to totally revise your game plan. First it was knee pain from running, now it's this shoulder pain. I would like to get this resolved before I permanently damage my shoulder.
