how long should i rest?

I warm up my shoulders doing rotations and this (see video) with a light weight or broomstick. Works for me, but then again, the only thing that really bothered my shoulders were heavy bench presses (which I rarely do anymore). I also stopped french presses because of elbow pain... ghost, you may want to consider that.

Good solid advice!!!

I droped flat bench completly and do incline bench every 3rd chest routine.
I have ZERO shoulder problems or pain for over 6 months. Actually I included several of Nelsons chest movements in my routine to replace the heavy pressing movements and I reaped some NICE gains from them!!!

Flat bench will fuck you up and KEEP you fucked up with shoulder problems... some bros it does not bother but some its the worst movement to do.

Warm up is key also stretch between sets... I watch a LOT of pro BBrs stretch like this during chest and back workouts between sets.

try laying on the ground and bench pressing, its way more isolation then regular bench box press

you are supposed to stretch during regardless, it ALSO helps stretch your muscle fascia therefor muscle belly must encompass empty area

Just don't do the excercises that make it hurt for a couple of weeks.

You need to start warming your shoulders up before every workout. Every time I work my upper body I warm-up my shoulders.

Stand like you are posing to flex your bi's, arms out and forarms up towards the ceiling. Use light weight like 5-15 pounds and rotate your shoulder and hand down. Do 1 set of 20.

Then hold same weight with your elbows to your sides and forearms parallel to the floor and swing the weights away from your body keeping your elbows close to your sides. Do 1 set of 20.

Ever since I have been doing this my shoulder pain has gone away.

Excellent advice. Lots of guys don't devote enough time to the rotator exercises or warm ups and this can cause inflamation which causes the pain. I have had both shoulders operated on and I know what it means to get them warmed up.
