Certain chest exercises have highlited weakness in my shoulder joint/area. Benchpress and pecflys particularly seem to cause the section connecting my arm to my chest some issue, mainly on the concentric/pushing part of the exercise. Specifically, as I push the weight up in the benchpress, I feel a lot of stress on the joint, so I'm trying to find a proper exercise to target that problem.
I checked the t-nation.com website about rotator cuff issues that was posted in the keeper thread and figure this is probably the problem. http://www.t-nation.com/readTopic.do?id=459577
The suggested exercises look good (I already do a good amount of shoulder targeting: lateral raises, 1 arm rear delt raises, and incorporating a military press), but was looking to see if there are more beneficial exercises that would help. Are there any other specific programs/exercises people have done that have helped them strengthen the joint? Is military press beneficial to the problem I have outlined? (and is it better to do it without the back support of a bench?)
Thanks to anyone who can offer assistance
