+1 my rotator cuffs (pretty messed up after 15 years of heavy benching) actually got a lot better once I started putting 1-arm pushups into my routines. Now, I only get a little twinge when I don't warm up enough.

Take care of those shoulders. Make sure you are not high chesting your bench press and do come down to the base of your sternum. Also avoid incline barbell bench press as that exercise can tear your shoulders apart. Go for dumbbells instead. Obviously get some help from the physio for rehab, and finally, continue with the pullups here when you feel good as they really help build upper body balance.

Yeah, started rehabbing it.  Started checking out trigger point stuff.  I figured push ups might make it worse, but I'll check it out.  I'm more bummed that I basically lost my will to go to the gym and adding to the pull up tally when it's at its final stretch.

Edit: thx for the concern my fellow pull up bros

I hear ya. Definitely see a physiotherapist and see what rehab exercises they recommend. I've injured my knee, lower back, and shoulders before and physio really helps speed up your rehab process. As for motivation, well now is a great time to focus on lower body exercises. Maybe we should start up a squat thread for 2014!

81408 + 60 = 81468

81114 + 122 = 81236. There was some kipping at the end, not going to lie.
