back gets sore on shoulder day

[bobjack]

noticed that recently my back has been getting sore on shoulder/traps day, may shoulder workout consists of

3 sets dips 8-12 reps
4 sets seated db shoulder press 6-10 reps
3 sets bb military press 6-10 reps
3 sets db shrugs 10-15 reps
3 sets db shoulder raises 8-12 reps

my current workout split is:
chest n tris
legs
break
shoulders n traps
back n bi's
break
repeat

so should i replace any of those shoulder exercises so that my back is more fresh for the next day?

Why don't you just change it around so ur back day is not right after your shoulder day?

Only thing I can figure is if you are leaning forward at all during your side raises you will bring your upper back into the picture, and if you are using any momentum at all towards the end of those sets( to squeeze out a couple more reps) the lower back comes into play.

I had a similar issue but I was also dipping my head a bit trying to get the last few reps. Ended up tweaking my neck pretty bad, and it put me out of the gym for a couple weeks. I had to take a step back drop the weight and re evaluate my form.

If you're sure that form is not the issue then I recommend doing what pasha said and just move it to another day in the week.

i think it could maybe be form, it is the soreness in the upper back just under the shoulders.
And no that works best for me i can't have legs and back too close to each other cause on leg day i do stiff legged deads

Give these a try. I like it a lot because the body position and the cable rather than a dumbbell help to eliminate the use of momentum to lift the weight rather than the muscle alone.
