[roadglide08]

I need alternatives to teh shoulder press and high pull if there are any. I have impingment/bursistus issues that have been agrivated by the over the head shoulder work in Break in and hyp I. Any suggestions?

thanks

Yes. Don't do any overhead work or highpull like movements at all. No dips, either.

You might cut down on the pressing a bit, too. Substitute shoulder rehab movements and more pulling movements for at least some of those exercises, if possible. If you ever had PT, consider adding some of those movements into the routine.

Our modern day lives have a tendency to cause an imbalance toward tight pecs and a weak back, so most of us benefit from less pushing and more pulling.

Limit any extra pressing to pushups and movements where the scaps are free to move, like standing cable presses.

I'll give that a shot. I have had PT so i do have somethings to draw from there. Appreciate the info on pulling versus pushing.
