Hi,
Recently, i notice i was doing dumbbell chest press with a slighty wrong angle. My arms did an angle with about 90º with torso, instead of the recommended 45º/60º.
I think i started to do this instinctively as i were increasing the weight.
My shoulders didn´t hurt and strangely enough i could lift more weight this way. It shoulnd´t be the opposite? I always though the chest is a stronger muscle than the deltoid.
Doing the exercise this way, demands more from the shoulder than the chest, right?
I´ve started to do it with the correct angle again and i had to decrease the weight for about 20%.
