I have been doing the lifting thing on and off for more than half of my life but have really started working at it hard since this past Thanksgiving. But as of late every time I do my upper body work outs my shoulders are burning out way to soon.
I have already gone from 3 times a week for upper body to 2 times a week in hopes that was the cause of it. I also went from sets of 10ish to sets of 20 in thoughts it could be caused by to much weight. Note: I superset everything thing without a gap.
Here is what my current workout.
Sunday's
Dumbbell Bench Press 3 by 20 at 60lbs
One Arm Dumbbell Rows 3 by 20 at 60lbs
Incline Bench Press 3 by 20 at 100lbs
Wide-Grip Lat Pull down 3 by 20 at 100lbs
Butterflies (machine) 3 by 20 at 60lbs
Dead Lifts (with DB) 3 by 20 at 40lbs
Tuesdays I added this so I am still lifting 3 days a week.
Leg Press Machine 5 by 20 at 540lbs (Once this gets easy we will go to squats)
Toe Flex on the Leg Press Machine 5 by 20 at 450lbs
Ball Crunches 3 by 20 at 2 x 30lbs
Thursdays
Machine Shoulder (Military) Press 3 by 20 at 100lbs
Upright Cable Row 3 by 20 at 100lbs
Cable Rope Overhead Triceps Extensions 3 by 20 at 50lbs
Reverse Barbell Curls (with the curl bar) 3 by 20 at 40lbs
Front Cable Raise 3 by 15 at 20lbs
One Arm Cable Curls 3 by 20 at 40lbs
Reverse Grip One Arm Tricep Extenstions (Cable) 3 by 20 at 30lbs
Dumbbell Alternate Bicep Curls 3 by 20 at 20lbs
Dumbell Triceps Extensions 3 by 20 at 12lbs
Again the problem is my shoulders being to burnt out doing the incline bench press on my Sunday workout where I am not trying to work them out. Is there a better chest exercize I could do in place of the incline press where my shoulders don't get used so much? Or ideas has to what I could be doing wrong on the incline press that my shoulders hurt more than the chest?
