You can try marco_simone's method(refer to the stickies).

Any previous injuries before?

Check your scapular stability.

Easy method - do a push-up with your shirt off, and have someone watch you. Look for winging or un-balanced movement in the scapular.

Also look at potential trigger point referal.

List all past/current injuries (all of them not just for the shoulder)

What dental work have you had done?

as you can see there could be many causes.

Are you doing wide grip???

manyu882 SG

i'm doing neither wide or small.. just in the centre..about 3/4 feet away from shoulder

as for Marco_Simone's method... his explaination not detail leh..

"So everyday,learn to do 5 sets of static holds 3 times daily."
quoted from it.. what is the angle to static hold? and is it wide or close grip?

previous injuries i'm not sure...but now when i touch my fore deltoids of both arms, i could feel the pain

Recently,I have clicking sounds in my shoulders while doing chin ups…does anyone face the same problem?

take more glucosamine sulphate as in those for joints…if it still hurts you’ll have to see a specialist for it…
