Pain during Xiaopengs

During xiaopengs I have some pain in the shoulder right at the top as I turn the arm. Does anyone know what causes this and what to do about it?

 

Thanks.

Has anyone else ever experienced this?

If you use a lighter weight do you still get pain?

Try and keep the motion very smooth and controlled. You can always post a video so we can give feedback if you're doing anything wrong.

The weight doesn't seem to make much difference. Even without a weight I feel it. It's right as the arm rotates.

I had a similar problem in my left shoulder, I found it was due to my shoulder not rotating properly before coming down. I just made sure to emphasise the rotation before bringing the weight down. Hope that helps

In my case, it's the rotating of the shoulder where I feel it before the arm starts to come down. It feels like some kind of impingement but I don't know for sure that's what it is.

I feel the same thing during windmills. I was hoping it would go away after a while but it hasn't. Windmills never bothered me when I was younger...
