Shoulder Pain

You might also have nerve impingement.

Might check into a chiropractor.

I have had minor shoulder issues before and they have almost always stemmed from something being out of alignment.

If one of your discs that leads to the shoulder is out of wack it can cause weakness there, tinges and other stuff.

Very true.

If you do exercises like facepulls and dumbbell rows and focus on scapular retractions, you should be fine though...in the sense doing these exercises will help in getting whatever is out of whack back in line.

Thanks for your responses everyone. I'm taking everything into consideration

Andalite- For pulling i do pullups/rows/deadlifts exclusively + some other assistance work like pullthroughs. For pressing, I do Bench/Military exclusively, and change up the assistance so sometimes it's incline DB, Dips, etc. It does balance out well though.

Also, bench press doesn't bother me at all. Should I maybe substitute face pulls for military press for the next month or so and then start out light to see how my shoulder feels? Do you have any stretching ideas?

Thanks and sorry for all the questions lol. I am going away to France in a few hours, but hopefully I will have access to internet there so i can read up/look into some stretching routines
 
Ok jdid, lots of good advice here hopefully something will help. On the pull ups you might try keeping your hands neutral. Thatw what I do and as I said before it works for me.
You mentioned front lat raise. You can try them but also try them like this. Using dbls, hold them like youre going to do straight bar curls. Curl them up to about your waist. Now USING YOUR FRONT DELTS ONLY (lock your elbows) bring them up to the height that your triceps are parallel to the floor. For me this works better then doing it straight arm as far as my shoulders are concerned.
When you do overhead presses and being that you have a shoulder injury, do not go lower then your chin, and if going to lockout hurts then dont go up that far. If going directly overhead is painful (I) go just slightly behind my head.
Doing bench, you want to keep the bar over your lower ribs not over your pecs. You will most likley need to lower the weight till you get used to doing it this way. Also you may need to limit your range of motion here too. At any rate do not let your triceps go past your shoulder blades. Your injured so you need to protect yourself.
Good luck and keep us posted.:D
 
Thanks a lot zedhead.. I have an 8 hour flight ahead of me today so I will definitely be playing around with some progression techniques/exercise orders. Anything to pass the time haha :)
 
no rear delt work? i would start that up to avoid imbalances in the shoulder. lateral head too. lay off the front head/pushing exercises and focus on the side and rear.
 
1- See a Chiropractor - it's done wonders to the tendinitis in my right wrist and left shoulder...I almost don't feel it most days.
2- Ice on/off
 
Welcome bro!
