4/8....Push day!

Today was painful. My left shoulder (underneath my rear deltoid) is causing me problems while performing any and all chest exercises. What is puzzling is that it only hurts when I am lowering the weight to my chest (eccentric contraction), not raising the weight. Another thing that puzzles me is that once i am warmed up and having performed 3-4 sets, the pain dissipates.

A1)Flat DB Flys: 45 lbs x 12, 50 lbs for 3 sets of 12...immediately followed by:
A2)Decline Barbell Press: 135 lbs for 4 sets of 10 reps (shoulder-width grip)
B) Diamond Pushups: bodyweight for 3 sets of 15 reps
C) Standing Cable Flys: 3 sets of 10 reps
D) Tricep Pushdowns: 130 lbs for 3 sets of 12 reps (straight bar)
E1) Lying EZ Bar Skullcrushers: 75 lbs for 3 sets of 10 reps
E2) Standing DB Lateral Raises: 20 lbs for 3 sets of 12 reps

**TOMORROW: Back/Biceps
