Went back to the gym yesterday. I could do chest exercises with dumbbells. It wasn’t painless but definitely manageable. I did super light shoulder press with really zero discomfort. Incline hammer was completely fine. It’s all when I do bench press. Wondering if maybe I just tweaked some muscle in the upper chest.

Mine was the same way. I switched from barbell to dumbbell presses because was bearable. We’re getting older and there’s no shame in taking a break to get checked out. I had surgery in February and I’m 6 weeks in back at the gym.

Other things to look at modifying if should press was good is trying to limit how far behind your torso your elbows go

Might not be a bad idea to try a floor press or just modify your range while you still feel it a little
