Delts overpowering

[Obs]

My delts are getting too strong and pulling my left shoulder forward. I use Dorian Yates's warmup routine for my shoulders but its not enough.
Anyone have any ideas on how best to correct this?

I am worried I will break something soon if I dont.

Couple thoughts:

See a chiropractor with their advanced degree for an evaluation and possible corrective action. You may have some type of impingement. The right one can do amazing things.
Do more back work. Powerlifters tend to have an issue with shoulders pulling forward based on their chosen sport. Back work gives the upper body balance and will help keep correct posture.
Seeing a chiro is step one, imho.

Thank you kel, will do. I visit chiropractors once in a while. I think I know just the one to see

You need rear delt and upper back work as Kel said.
Do some rear delts or upper back work after every chest workout.

And stretch your pecs every day.

I used to have this problem with my delts as well.

I began wearing a backpack with some weight in it, 15-20 lbs, on my morning walks and relaxed my shoulders. This pulled my shoulders dorsally allowing for a more "proper" posture.
It helped with daily form, my bench began increasing dramatically along with my rows and even deadlifts.

Just stretch and try to relax during the day.
Goodluck!

I believe your problem is caused by your job running that chain saw as I feel it puts a lot of strain on your delts.

Agreed with everyone above. You might start doing rhomboid work 3 times a week. The rhomboids are what keep the shoulder and shoulder blades from moving anterior. They are very weak compared to the pecs and biceps.

Another point, when stretching the pecs make sure you also get the biceps as they will tend to pull the shoulders forward if they get tight.

Probably is my chainsaw amoung othe things. Good point songdog.

When I was a kid I had winging scapula. I fixed it with my first cycle and back exercises. My pecs have always overpowered too. Thanks everyone

The above +
Maybe you could tie one of those flexible bands around a post and do face pulls later in the day after your chest workout.

Thats a great Idea, I got on a cable machine and hit my back from every angle I could and I could feel it down deep at the bottom of my shoulder blades that something is definitely lacking and needs serious improvement before I take my delts and chest any further. Luckily my shoulder isnt hurting at night like it was but I have been needing to contend with this for a while.

Switch up routine entirely focused on cable pull downs and rows. Seems to be working.

Definitely do rotator cuff work, rear delt work, and back work. You've got to stay on it. I have the same problem. Just make rear delt work a priority and you should be fine.
