For the past two months I had this slight shoulder pain in my right shoulder. It is slight when I do military presses and fairly sharp when I do lateral raises and dumbell rows. It feels like the pain is coming from in between my front and middle deltoid. Is doing the cuban rotation a good idea to exercise the rotator cuff? I heard good and bad things about those.
Sounds like a supraspinatus strain. Can you use your bad arm to reach your opposite rear deltoid? If that is hard or hurts, that's probably it. Be very careful on shoulder day and with pull downs/chins.
No numbness, and I can easily touch my opposite rear delt without any pain. The pain happens when I raise the arm at an angle in between a front and lateral raise really high to the point my trap begins to contract. I think I actually figured out what caused it. I started doing a lot front squats and noticed that this started shortly after that.
Oh so you might just be bruised my friend. That happens to me sometimes with front squats… Do you hold the bar with a cross arm type hold or with your hands bent back?
