Well whenever i workout chest, my shoulders start to hurt a bit, and its been doin this for a long time, figured it was just the weight though. But then again, it could be my technique? And that could be one of the reasons why my chest is not porportiate to my shoulders, my shoulders are pretty big. Whats a good way to isolate my chest on flat bench and incline, by the way, i do dumbells and not barbell, wrist problems. What do yall think?

research dc training. I had this same problem and I found that after I incorporated the principles of dc into my training routing I was able to bring my pecs more into proportion to the rest of my body. Training with lower weight, in accordance with the rest/pause technique should bring your shoulder pains down and bring your pecs up.

Interesting...I had shoulder problems from the barbell and used dumbell presses to rehabilitate my shoulders. More than likely it is all in the form you are using. Can you describe exactly what you do and the positions of your arms/hands during the exercise? For example, the dumbells should never go lower than your shoulders when they are lowered down.

I dont do DC training, but have been doing the training BigA suggested. Now, I dont lower the weight, its still heavy 4-6 reps or close to it. But the movements are slowed, and there is a pause.
So using both suggestions, my guess is the slower pace and pause, despite the rep range, may be the secret. BTW, my shoulders always like to take the stress, even on chest exercises. But slowing the movement allows me to focus on the chest more.
