I've never hurt the shoulder that I can remember, and it doesn't happen when I use dumbells as I have been substituting the barbell for the dumbbells but I prefere the barbell. I only noticed it when I started to properly lift maybe 2-3 weeks ago and only on the Millitary press, 1st week I put it down to not being used to the movement so just thought it streched it too much or somthing the 2nd week I warmed up a little longer on the cross trainer to work my arms a little and did the same so I swapped to dumbbells. Might try altering my grip width do you think this could help, Maybe try wider or closer grip?..
Thanks
Hey there.
here's a few suggestions...
1. Adjust the grip (wider or closer)
2. Cease military press with a barbell for 2-3 weeks (in that time use neutral grip with DB only for shoulder press)
3. If the pain gets worse, see a chiropractor or sports medicine doctor.
Your problem sounds to me like a very minor rotator cuff issue. However given the very vague nature of the issue, I am unable to make a solid decision yet.
Get back to me after you try the first two above. If anything changes, let me know.
