Hey man I just read your post about your shoulder. I'm not trying to get in your business but I have had rotator cuff tear for over a year and I'm telling ya the WORST thing you can do for it is flat bench. Ask Hany Rambod or any of the top level trainers and they will tell ya flat bench is horrible on the shoulders. Switch to machines and you will be able to work the pecs without discomfort. Just my 2 cents worth

I have rotator cuff owies and I've found the Smith lets me bench an d incline bench with little to no pain. So do plate loaded Hammer Strength machines. And on shoulder day....warm up, warm up, warm up!
You guys with the huge sponsor ads in your signatures make reading the forums annoying.

Nice to meet you hammer, i have been recovering from some kind of rotater cuff injury, the dr wasn't very informative. He just told me that it was a rotater cuff injury, and gave me some exercises to do for them. I've been kinda babying it for about 4 months now. I'm always open to new ideas, especially if it works and keeps me from hurting. I'm a former powerlifter and i don't know anything except what i learned powerlifting. I'm finding that my body is either too old or not conditioned enough to do what i use to do. I got as far as 270 lbs this year on the bench and that's when the rotater cuff screwed up.
I'm 54 and i love what i'm doing now. I like the changes my body has made. (so does the mrs.).
Would you still do incline db's ? They don't seem to be bothering me so far. My son introduced me to the sitting chest machine this week, wow i am impressed.
Thanks and i'll take your advice serious.

Thanks
THERE'S ONE OF THE GUYS THAT SWEARS BY THE SMITH. I DO RACK SETS ON IT. MAYBE I'LL TRY THE BENCH. I NEED TO DO SOME STUDING ON THE BENCH AND WHETHER I SHOULD CONTINUE IT.
THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP.
OH AND DON'T LOSE THAT .... UM, YA KNOW, WHAT I SAW ON THE PICTURE LOOKED GREAT.

Im 55 so Im right there w ya. I use DB's for what I like to call power flyes it's a cross between a flye and a press doesnt bother my shoulder too much and I can go as heavy as 90's I cant do any heavy DB or BB presses flat or incline without feeling like there is a knife in my front delt I also use the HammerStrength Machines the Incline and ISO are the best for me. I can load up the ISO to 5 plates a side without any pain at all Try them out if your gym has em

Yeah, we've got something like what i saw on youtube for hammer strength machines. That's what i used for chest. Worked like a son of a gun. I hit it twice this week. I'll give em a try. I can see they work for you.
By the way good luck with the upcoming competition. Hopefully next summer you can return the wishes.

Hammer likes the Hammer set up....go figure. Duke how did they feel during/afterwards??
I do have a FLAT BENCH rotator warm I do (and also doing now for my pec tear) . Lite...one hand gripping in the middle....a fixed 30 pound barbell up to an empty Oly bar. Bring bar down SLOWLY until it touches pec and then lift straight. Keep feet wide shoulders flat in order to maintain a flat plane. Lite enough to do 5 x 5. The balancing/stabilizing of the bar does bring in xtra muscle fibers. I also like finding the X trigger spot on the scapula (stand at a door way with injured arm behind head. Push forward against side of doorway with elbow bringing it way back...have partner use a HARD knuckle to find the trigger spot on your scapula. You will know when the do. Massage vigourously)
