tired trapezius

Hi

I've been using this workout circuit for a couple of weeks and it's great!
I always look carefully at your vidcasts and try to have a good form.

However, I always end up with exhausted upper trapezius after the Dumbbell Fly, and sometimes it even hurts the next day.

Am I doing something wrong or is it normal that the Dumbbell Fly tires the trapezius?

Thanks, you guys are an inspiration!!!!
