Skip shoulders and any compound movements that utilize them (i.e. bench, most chest exercises, etc). Take your off week this week and recover.
Something that has always worked out for me:
I constantly keep working out and leave my rest weeks for either injuries (strains, in your case), vacations, a massive school load, things like that. If after 2-3 months none of these have applied, ill take my off week and relax. Remember, off weeks are key for growth as well. You don't grow in the gym, you grow when you rest.
