Thank you in advance to anyone who actually reads this convuluted post. My actual question is closer to the bottom.
There are a few extremely common pieces of advice out there about shoulder injuries such as:
-Do rotator cuff work and balance push/pull
-Behind the neck presses/pull downs are bad
-upright rows are bad
-overhead presses may be bad for some people (a physical therapist told me not to do these, although I rarely did OH presses to begin with)
As somebody who has balanced push/pull from the beginning and avoided the afformentioned exercises, I am trying to pin point why I am still having shoulder pain. This pain is not from a rotator cuff injury.
Here are some thoughts:
-John mentioned in his intro today that dumbells can lead to over extension. In the month leading up to the pain I started doing heavy lower rep dumbell presses.
-I also read somewhere here that dips can be hard on the shoulder, which I also used to do.
Basically, I'm looking for advice from others who seem to have unusually sensitive shoulders, which goes beyond the standard rotator cuff information which can be found in about a thousand different body building articles across the web.
