stop doing them for awhile and just do some regular wind mills and se if this hurts your shoulders and if it does then you have just strained or pulled a muscle , do windmills in front of you to the side and over the head this should make your shoulder bother you if it is hurt, stop doing the exercise that is bothering you for some time .

Lat Pulldown Shoulder Pain

Some exercises, especially once you increase in so much weight, can put strain on some joints. Some people just can't do certain exercise past a certain point. I can't do bicep curls on a flat bar because it causes strain on my wrists. My dad can't do hammer curls because of the strain on his elbows. You may not be able to do lat pull downs. Switch to another lat exercise and see if that helps.

If the pain is on the back part of the shoulder most likely you are experiencing bursitis. An inflammation in the fluid sacs that help the shoulder blade move with ease along with the muscles. Most likely they exercise is putting strain on those muscles and just wearing down right there. Ice is really good for inflammation so ice for a few days to help it heal.



I would not do shoulder exercises for a week, ice the area anytime it starts to hurt, then the next week do another lat exercise and see how that does.

I wish I had this 2 years ago when I damaged my rotator cuff while showing off. This is very detailed and really gives you the techniques you need to sort out your own shoulder issues and a lot more info such as preventing further injuries. If you have a shoulder keeping you awake at night you'll know it's no laughing matter.
