Shoulders sore for 2-3 weeks??

I started to experience what I would consider a soreness for the last 2-3 weeks in my shoulders making workouts a bit painful but strength hasn’t gone down if anything it’s up. Only in the front delts too

I started to take primo about a week before at 300mg a week. I have run it before for 4 months and never experienced this although I wasn’t going as hard. I also took 20mg of winstrol for like a random 6 days out of those 3 weeks just to get a bit of a boost when I was feeling sluggish. Was thinking low estrogen but I’ve been getting quite bloated a few times and had to take aromasin - don’t think my e2 is low.

These are the only two things I can equate to this other than that everything’s been normal nothing has changed.

I’ve torn my shoulder before and it isn’t this couldn’t lift squat. It doesn’t feel like they’re pumped(could be) but 24/7 and my shoulder pumps usually immobilize me in pain without moving them. This is just when I utilize them. Genuinely feels like they are just extremely sore.

Only other thing is I have neck problems and had surgery but again that was much different basically made me paralyzed in one arm and down my whole arm. Although it started in my neck and gradually moved down and was one side with a tingle on the other.

Just trying to get to the bottom of it. I also took like 5 days off and it continues and did light shoulders the last workout. I just have to push through it but strength is there on shoulders, bench whatever utilizes them.

Definitely check labs.

But this might seem dumb. I sleep on my sides and that absolutely wrecks my shoulders with tightness and soreness when lifting
 
how's your form on your bench? Are you pulling your scaps back and down? I've had this issue in the past where I wasn't doing that, and it was dumping all the stress into the shoulder.

according to Ben Yanes, the common cue to keep the shoulder blades “pinned back and down” on every chest movement is a myth that can actually reduce chest activation and sometimes worsen mechanics.

I can't really speak to that video, but I've lived it. Once I started pulling my scaps back and down my shoulders stopped hurting. It's tough to do for me because it's still not an automatic process. I'd rather be focused on pressing. My left shoulder was the worst, but it no longer hurts anymore... so I guess I'm doing it enough. It helps even more if I take a band and do pull-a-parts and get the upper back really warmed up.

I don’t keep my shoulder blades pinned. Just lay flat.

Even then nothing has changed in my regiment or form on anything. My bench has gone up a few pounds.
 
Both sides. I get neck pain never both sides for 2 weeks straight
Hmmm. Yeah that’s odd. I get neck pain from shit posture when sleeping and from being a mechanic/blue collar.
And that has made my delts and chest very tight.

But low e2 it would more joint oriented.
I’d see if some massage work, lacrosse ball rolling / stretching ease up the pain. Then it would point more towards muscle tightness/stiffness. But I’m definitely not sure
