Thanks Adam.
The issue with my shoulders seems to be impingement. When I worked with JD Shipley we tried lots of stuff to try and avoid it, but its tricky. A typical movement is the lift begins (Press), 1/2 way up one of my shoulders is likely to feel a pinch, I pause wait for the pain to subside, finish the push. It doesn't always happen, but it does the majority of the time. This year has seen lots of stress added to the shoulders and they have been feeling really sore. From the top of the bone to the center area of the shoulder. So far this week seems to have broken things up and they are feeling better. I should also mention that much of my shoulder issues may be caused by arthritis which I have in my neck. I may suffer a strength penalty next week but I think so far it has been a good experiment. Aside from that, I just feel generally tight all over. Could be weight training, likely age and lack of activity. To put things in perspective I grew up playing hockey, we played ice hockey in winter and ball hockey in summer. I could always move well and even played a game in net when I was 43 and I could still move well. I could not do that at all now.
