One thing that bothers me is the shoulder press. I have to stop after about 6 reps. Then after reducing the weight to practically nothing, I was still unable to complete a set without stopping. I'm fine with the pulldowns but the shoulder press (which is a similar movement) is hard with even just a 3rd of the weight. Are my shoulders that weak?

Pulldowns and shoulder presses are not similar. Pulldowns are incorporating those big back muscles and biceps mostly. Shoulder presses are incorportating those little MUCH weaker deltoids. Everyone has to go much lighter on shoulders. And what you DON'T want to do is hurt your shoulders. They will put you out of commission if you do. So listen to them for any pain that isn't fatigue-type pain. And readjust or pick another exercise, or stop working them for the day.  |
