Dumbbell Flyes and Incline Dumbbell Bench: Sore Shoulders?

[Subsistence]

I just started trying to do the Incline Dumbbell Press and Dumbbell Flies and am they seem to hurt my shoulders more than my chest. I am not sure if it is because I am used to chest exercises with the barbell bench press, but my shoulders aren't used to such stabilization work or what. The pain is not very bad and goes away within a minute or so of doing the exercise. But when I am at the bottom of the rep for either, I feel a lot of stress on my shoulders (opposed to in my chest). Am I doing something wrong?

Inclined press does put much more stress than the flat bench. Moreover, doing dumbbell flyes is somewhat tricky. If you allow a full range of motion, stretching your shoulders, they may not like it. The escape route is to limit the ROM so that your elbows don't go past your shoulders. Same with the D/B press too.

I am just wondering- should I feel some strain in my shoulders? As I said, it feels fine a few moments later, I am just not sure if it could be causing longer term damage grinding away at my joint.

You might want to try them on the floor where your ROM is limited and see how that dose. But you would not be able to do inclined as I am sure you know.

Dumbell exercises are not a part of 5 x 5, have u already accomplished 1.5BW squat for 5 x 5s and stalled numerous times that you've started isolation work?????
