Shoulder pain. What’s the deal?

Noticed it doing shoulders a few days ago. Right shoulder.
Today I started on BP and something was definitely hurting. It’s like where my collar bone meets my shoulder. What could that be and how long do I need to stay off it/go volume instead of heavy?
Cable flys were fine, around the world with dumbels was fine, bench press and incline press not so much.

Depending on age, could be nerve impingement/rotator cuff tendonitis. I had it in both shoulders. Went under the knife on both (not at the same time). Getting old sucks.

Could be biceps or labrum if it is hurting in the front of the shoulder

I’ve always considered shoulder pain a fact of life.
Shoulders are too complex a thing not to hurt, huh?

Could be your lifting technique. If you are not engaging your upper back properly, you can experience shoulder pain. I’m making an assumption, but you’re not providing a lot of information.

Literally tons of reasons for it to bother you a little bit and not immediately jump to rotator cuff tears, labral tears, etc.
Are you using dumbbells or barbells? What kind of splits are you doing? What’s the rest of your routine look like? Does it hurt with push ups?

I had this exact pain. For me, it was due to too much pressing, and not enough back exercises. With your pressing, like chest press, you need to balance yourself with the pulling, like rows.
Focusing on more rows for a few weeks helped eliminate the pain.

this exact statement leads me to believe that what you're experiencing is Distal Clavicular Osteolysis or otherwise known as "weightlifters shoulder". It can be caused by overuse and I went through it myself. Some better load management and avoiding exercises that cause irritation helped me a lot. Could be helpful for you too.

Get it checked now, it's not something you want to let linger. Had 2 shoulder surgeries by 18, it sucks.

Had similar pains. Got MRI on the shoulder and bicep tendon was subluxed and had bone spurs. Had surgery 1.5 weeks ago to cut biceps tendon and reattach to humerus, and clean bone spurs and rotator cuff debridement. Not super painful, but long recovery.

Move to dumbbells. The bar is pinching you. If you have to use the bar, drive your shoulders into the bench, and pretend you are trying to bend the bar when you lift. That slight canting in your hand placement will make all the difference in the world.
