I don't have a PT; maybe, I should ask for it? I can't do Flat or Inclined bench Bench or preacher curls with a bar or machine. I do dumbbell flat and incline bench, Dumbbell pull-over, and seated dumbbell curls, Lat pull-down, seated cable row, and my RC exercises.
It hurts in the front of my shoulder and a spot half way down my upper arm on the outside. Both areas at hurt are small, about the size of a golf ball.
Well, it seems like the first thing an orthopod does for shoulder pain is send you to a PT, who then gives you a series of exercises to do. Nor sure about that overhead pullover or incline bench ... I don't do those. Generally, you want to stay away from over the head type stuff.
I do chest press and seated dips too. But I do not bend my elbows. I move my shoulders up and down and back and forth only a couple inches to work the small shoulder muscles. I put it on 60 pounds and do 25 reps 2-3x. Tricep kickbacks are good for shoulders. Rowing is good for shoulders and the back. Machines that strengthen the back are good because a weakness in the scapular area stresses the rotator cuff muscles.
The front of the shoulder is the most common area of RC tendonitis pain. Probably ought to see a PT if the pain continues. Have you tried ART? I thought all tris did that.
