today my workout partner forgot to add 5lbs to one side of the barbell, this resulting in me doing 1 set of 12 reps with 5 more lbs on my left side. When I was done with the overall workout i noticed that my left tri, shoulder, and trap had this pain/soreness that my right did not. Do you think it could be because that set? It was especially hard to do dumbbell incline flies. I was also wanting to know what people think about doing exercises in a certain order, does it matter what order? Ive noticed that if I do dumbbell bench press first I can do 50lbs and finish all 3 sets of 12 but today when I did them last I could not even lift them, I had to go all the way down to 35lbs. Do you think the order is a big deal and what are some of your orders of exercises?

Yeah, the imbalance in the bar caused your shoulder pain. The order does not necessarily matter, but people enjoy doing compound movements such as the bench press or incline bench press first. I know that the few times I did bench press last in my workout I couldn't do my normal weight and I got very tired very quickly which made me feel bad about it. However, I might switch up dumbbell press and bench press to see how much it will affect me. Don't get too stressed out on the order, find what feels comfortable for you and do that. There is no perfect order of exercises, do what you feel is fun and works out your muscles so then you will look forward to your workouts and they will be more productive. Hope this helps.

My order on chest day (since that's what you were talking about) typically goes as follows:
1) flat bench
2) incline dbell press
3) cable fly
4) decline press/push ups
I do try to occasionally do incline or decline first, or even different exercises (incline bbell, flat dbell, or something like that).
I hope your shoulder starts to feel better soon (make sure you stretch it and keep your shoulders retracted during bench), and best of luck on your lifts and routine.

Alright brah everyone has to pain sometimes don't give in, and yes the imbalance may have caused that pain, wouldn't worry about it to much give it a couple days maybe even a day.
When it comes to order, there are crazy mass builders for every part of the body. For triceps it close grip bench, for shoulders it's military, for chest it's obviously bench.. Focuse your strength on the workouts that need most energy and build most…
To work on your lifting problem, increase the weight after each set if your excersizes. When you get used to doing heavy at the end, by the end of your workouts youll be doing heavier weights even after muscle exhaustion Takes time but it will work, your body adapts.
