I've recently started doing DB snatches. I've gotten pretty decent at them in a short time, and I feel that my form is good... but in the last few days my right (dominant) shoulder has gotten a bit sore and feels a bit strained. It prevented me from swimming yesterday, because there was some dull pain at the top of the catch phase of the stroke.

I don't want to just assume the DB snatches are to blame, because before today there was no pain while doing these. In fact, the pain started yesterday (Friday) morning when I woke up, and the last time I did snatches was Tuesday morning. I'm just worried because this is the only truly new exercise I've added to my routine lately.

At any rate, here are the recent changes in my activity:

* Started swimming again about 6-7 weeks ago. 2-3x/week, 2-3 miles per workout.
* Started DB snatches 4 weeks ago, I'm up to 3 x 5 x 85 lbs (each arm).
* Started doing weighted push-ups instead of BB bench about 1/2 the time. I started this 2-3 weeks ago.

Not sure what the likely culprit is, and perhaps I'm just doing too much altogether. I do keep on top of my external rotations and cuban-style rotations (humerus parallel to the ground), and I've never had much shoulder trouble in the past--even with years of competitive swimming--so I'm hoping someone here can help me diagnose what's been bothering me the last two days.

I'm icing it as we speak, and I plan on doing some rehab type exercises tomorrow.
