How is your preset stretch up on bench? I was having shoulder issues, partially related to lifting, and I changed my set up to include a really good shoulder stretch when I lay on the bench. That along with focus on death gripping the bar, and not flaring the elbows has really improved my shoulder health, and I use a very wide grip which can be harder on shoulders.

I normally do a pretty decent job stretching before and after. Usually do better stretching my back because my back injury is worse than my shoulder. But Monday I really just used a 3-4ft small pvc type pipe they have and did some shoulder stretches with it.

I think I probably need to work on this. It normally hurts worse on the bench but it actually hurt worse for me on dumbbells for the first time. Normally it's like I can get my arm into some range of motion on the dumbbell where it helps with the pain whereas on the bench I'm locked into a painful move. It was opposite this go around. Just kind of sucks in general really though.

Probably need to go a little more narrow with my grip as well.
