What error do you receive? I'll try to fix it. Btw, the exercise is a pulldown using a resistance band, not using a lat pulldown machine. Total different exercise. Try the version described below the video, with a band, this will give you an idea how the exercise feels. Bryan,

I also have shoulder pain when I get into heavy weights when I bench. I could not load your video for behind the neck pulldowns, so I google searched it. The first hit is this, http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/betteru26.htm which states that this is one of the five lifts to avoid, so as not to hurt your shoulder. Can you comment on this?

Also, maybe this kind of injury can be prevented by: 1 - good technique (as mentioned) 2 - a more balanced program using at least as much pulling exercises as pushes. (maybe look into strength-imbalances between pushes and pulls as well) good stuff !

Face pulls, band pull aparts, (scap) pushups are very helpful exercise to fix shoulder pain from the Bench Press. Great advice Harsh.
