A spotter.... no, really! Have some one help you set your db's up, make sure you don't crunch into an akward injury during the presses, and they can help you get the weights back down. I tried doing db presses and had to stop b/c I couldn't safely get the weights in place and then back down. I don't belong to any gym b/c it's more convenient for me to lift at home.

Erick sad thing is I did have a spotter,this injury didnt have to happen huh,and the weight isnt heavy enough for me to have problems setting it up on my shoulders

 

[erickthegreat11]

In that case, go over to your gym, grab a 45# plate and wack it across your spotters face b/c he let you down.

BTW - I was being honest.
It sounds like your stabalizers arent up to the task, or you were fatigued. Either way less weight would be better.

Treat your shoulders with care. I know a guy who did the same thing you did with a 45lb dumbbell. I'm thinkin the weight was too heavy. Be careful. . .you don't want a permanent injury.
