Hi everyone. I have been doing the interval based workouts posted on the workout section and really enjoying them. However, whenever I try to move up to a faster interval (and add more yards) my left shoulder gets very sore. Does any one have suggestions on how I can strengthen my shoulders to help handle more yards?
There isn't a master's team where I live, but the age group couch has "stroke clinics" for adults that I have been going to once a week to make sure I am using good technique and am not injuring myself with strokes.
Thanks in advance!

I've had on and off shoulder problems for several years and did the rotator cuff exercises with bands and weights. i kind of just gave up casue i didn't hurt that bad. last october, i started doing this weight training routine to get stroner for tri-training but it had the unexpected benefit of virtually eliminating my shoulder problems.
My upper body exercisers are:
1. bench press
2. biceps
3. triceps
4. lat pull downs
5. dumbell pullovers
6. and one i don't know the name of but you use very, very light weights, start with arms out to you side palms down, lift both arms out to the side and when your arms are straight out to the side rotate your palms and finish raising your arms till they are straight over head.
i only do 2 sets of 10-12 of each twice a week.
i guess i just needed the balance!
good luck...
