The shoulder pain is around my rear delt. My upper back is hurting too, between my scapula and spine - like the lower trap or rhomboid. If this pain/injury is due to lifting, my main suspect is actually the bent rows. I'm doing it with flared elbows, in a posture I'm not comfortable with. I just don't think my back is used to the exercise.
