I have just started my first sycle of HST, and my first time lifting agian since high school 15 years ago. I have just finished my first week of 10's, and have noticed that my left shoulder is makeing a lot of noise when I do my inc, and flat db bench presses. I didn't really notice it until the last week of the 15's, and there is not much pain, but it cracks a lot especially when I am lowering the weight down.
for my warm up I do two sets of 40 sit-ups, and 40 reverse extentions (I think that is what they are called). Then I do my squats, and warm up for my bench presses by doing 10X15 db presses (mostly just to stretch things out). Yesterday I did a better job of warming up by starting with 10x15 , 15X15, and 25X5 before starting with my lifting weight of 37X10. It seemed to help a little, but there was still some cracking.
So my question is, do you think it is just something where I need to warm up more/better? Is it something that may cause an injury down the road? What would you suggest?
Thanks
