Notes:
I was feeling shoulder pain during this session?
I warmed up correctly..

From this image the pain seems to be coming from a ligament area.
Is there any reason for this or how do I build it up?

Good progress! Do you roll your shoulders while shrugging? That can cause pain, and shoul be avoided for other purposes than rehab (very light) in my experience.

ill post a vid showing how I do shrugs but i dont think it was from that.
I think it came from the shoulder pressing.

Looking at a comparison from this week to last, your shoulder press was massively more intense. Perhaps this is a very simple reason?

yeah i made a big jump in weight but got the reps out.
I presumed the reasons I made the jump was due to newbie gains?
