I started to tuck my elbows recently, but benching never really bothered my shoulder either way. I'm avoiding pressing based on Bill Hartman's response to my question in the injuries/rehab forum. The movement itself may not hurt, but it can worsen other problems. Until things start to feel better, I may have to avoid all pressing movements.
