My right shoulder, specifically the anterior deltoid causes me a lot of frustration. Pretty much every day it is sore and somehow achy. It could possibly be a strain. I can function with full ability to do RC, HBP, and sPL movements I'm working on; and have complete ROM in HS, however, shoulder flexion overhead and laterally to shoulder height cannot be accomplished pain-free. Also, when I work on HS/PE1-im, sometimes there is extensive discomfort, however as I focus on engaging my traps I don't feel it as much in the shoulder. I'm not sure if it's a bicep issue, which Coach has enumerated as being the root cause of a lot of shoulder issues, but I'm trying to get to the bottom of it. I'm wondering if anyone has any further insights. I try to do doorway hangs every day to loosen up the shoulder joint and keep it active and functioning (also deep yoga squats). If anyone has any advice on this issue, I would appreciate it. I currently throw in HBP stretches from Foundation 2 to help try and alleviate this discomfort, but if there were to be a worrying joint or ligament area this would be it. Everything else is progressing at its own speed and in its own time at a steady clip. Thanks
