Here is a simple test you can perform which could isolate and help further diagnose this problem. When you are performing an exercise where your shoulders begin to burn try and pinch your shoulder blades together and see if the soreness resolves. (note: this is helpful for TOS sufferers as well-5kg)
If after performing the exercises and the pinching of the shoulder blades does not allow you to finish the set then report back and let us know the results.
Are you performing any shrug exercises?

I wish I had read this before my workout last night. I will give your suggestion a try during tomorrow's workout and report back on the results. Since I usually don't log onto the net over the weekend, I won't be able to report back until Monday. I do have a doctor's appointment tomorrow about a different matter, however. I plan on bringing this to her attention.
Since I am a very stubborn person, I decided to do my shoulder workout last night. I started with very light weights. As soon as I started to experience any buring sensation, I immediately stopped the exercise. I must report that I have a very small ache in my right shoulder today. The ache is in the muscle and not the joint.
Yes, I do perform shrug exercises. Perhaps it would help if I post my shoulder routine. Except for the addition of the one arm cable lateral raises, I have been using this routine for a couple of months. Please keep in mind that I increase the weigh on each set and target reps for 10-8-6.
One arm lateral raises x 2 sets
Seated Dumbbell Press x 2 sets
Bumbbell lateral raises x 2 sets
Dumbbell front raises x 2 sets
Dumbbel reverse flies x 2 sets
Cable upright row x 2 sets
Dumbbell shrugs x 3 sets
Linear Mode
