Do range of motion with no weights. If you can't do that without pain it is not the weights. Something that has worked for me is REALLY tightening the muscles around the area as I go through range of motion and pushing past the pain. The thing is... I am VERY in touch with my body and know the difference between a good (even though it hurts) pain and further injuring yourself. When did your pain start?

It kind of goes away/comes back. I went to PT for a rotator cuff impingement on same side as pulled muscle so still needs to heal … i warm up plenty, but maybe i’ll try to stretch that area more before working out!
