Shoulders

[fletch765]

I've been NROL for over a year, working the different programs in different orders. I've definately made good progress however i think if my diet was a little more in check i'd be seeing more results.

I had never lifted an ounce before Jan of 2008, so i'd still consider myself a beginner with challenges on the squat and deadlift.

However as I up my lifting weight, I still find that over head press, high pull and push press still wreak havoc on my shoulders after the work out. This is the one area that after a strength workout that just seem to linger on for days, even after a max on a squat or dead's my legs will bounce back quicker, however my shoulders seem to ache forever.

Is this lack of strength or am i missing something here. I normally do the prescribed reps, however at times when i think the weight is managable i still struggle to complete the sets.

Any insight would be great.

Thanks,

Are you doing mobility and prehab work for your shoulders?

Are you sure of your form on the overhead press - are you ending up squarely under the bar (which seems like it is behind you) and not with it out in front where it can stress the shoulder?

I check my form on the lift -- maybe it was a little sloppy.

I'm not doing any prehab or mobility work? What is it?
