34 years old, towards the end of a test only cycle. About 190 14% bodyfat. I've noticed a nagging pain in my shoulders and want to swap out flys for bench pressing as well as doing 4 exercises solely for the SITS muscles of the rotator cuff on "chest" day.
Should I bother with the flys, incline and flat to keep up pec strength(barring any discomfort), or should I focus on the strengthening exercises only? I was thinking maybe 3-4 weeks of nothing but pulley internal and external rotations, L lateral raises, BB cuban press and lying side abductions to 45 degrees, then slowly bringing back in pec work. Given the small muscles worked, I'd probably do them on squats day, after my squats early in the week, and another on abs/cardio day mid week.
Anyone have any suggestions or changes to the exercises? Any pointers on whether flys to work my pecs would be of use?
