I had rotator issue and I begin my workout with rotator cuff specific exercises whether I'm doing upper or lower. Mediocre weight at 4 sets around 15 reps is what the physiotherapist recommended and I've had no issues since. Don't know what your injury was but perhaps this may help.
Yea man I appreciate it yea I had a torn labrem with a surgery and hasn't bothered me til.recently. how are your gains with that regiment

Yeah strength has come back good. It was pretty fucked as it even hurt doing squats so I did no gym for six months just cycling and running so lost a lot of muscle and it's starting to come back now. Just started my first cycle in ages too so I'm interested to see how it holds up. Just don't go to heavy on the exercises it's more about frequency. Physio recommended this so I'll take his word.
Ok thanks brotha I appreciate the feedback I'll go light with higher volume and see what happens
I've not had Surgery on my Shoulder.
But I do have a Bone Spur on the Acromion Process.
So sometimes when I go Heavy it Grinds, sounds like a Box of Rocks.
I do the same thing as "Maxlass" does.
I switch over to Lighter Weight with Higher Reps.
Lately, I go back and forth with Light/Medium/Heavy days.
I mix them up depending on how the Shoulder is feeling after I warm it up.
I've had a Lot Less problems with my Shoulder since doing that.............. JP

For me I try to avoid certain exercises that bother my shoulder. I don't do db shoulder presses, it's to easy to mess up my form plus getting the weights up there also isn't easy on shoulders. I stick with Smith machine presses and a hammer strength machine. Upright rows with a preacher bar irritates my shoulder so I use Smith machine or cables. I always give a break between chest and shoulder exercises. I don't mind hitting shoulders on chest day but if not, I wait 2 days after chest day to do my shoulder day. An if I feel like my shoulders need a rest day I don't hesitate to take a day off.
I've done a whole lot better since I switched my Routines to Alternate the Weight.
Strength has gone up along with Endurance.
You would be surprised at the Mass that you can gain with Higher Rep and Lighter Weight........................ JP
I have found that if I'm doing DB Presses, Switching my Grip to Neutral avoids the Pain.
So that's Palms facing your Head as you Press.
Also Arnold Presses don't Bother me............................ JP

Yeah same here Arnold's don't bother me. I throw them in my workout here and there.
For anyone with either Chronic Pain or a Bum Body Part.
It's all about Modifying your Workout.

I have a kind of bad shoulder and unless I run NPP It's best I use a Palm facing each other grip like I get with my push up pull up bar .. device

Get a good rotator cuff program to do post workout. ALWAYs post workout as you want them not fatigued when pressing
Idk what the injury is for but I have a torn labrum I'm waiting to fix. Heavy bench is out. Dips seen to be okay, OHP can't go over 135lbs, I use DB in 8-12 rep range, wide deep pec flyes and incline champagne presses for chest
Leave heavy shit alone while you get your RC beefed up. You'll b fine unless u reinsured it which I'm pretty sure u havent
