Guys,

You're both dealing with some secondary impingement issues. DB are more comfortable because they require greater stabilizer recruitment but will most likely become painful as well.

First, drop the painful exercises until you are symptom free.

Next substitute rotator cuff ex. (ext. rotation variations, scaption, etc.) and scapular stabilization ex. (push up plus, Y,T,I,W's, etc.) for your regular shoulder and chest stuff.

Alternate sets of rows with sets of external shoulder rotation.

Ice after each workout and every 2 hours for 20 minutes as needed.

Bill
