Sore shoulders from benching

I have sore shoulders from bench pressing. Should I use cables instead? I really miss pressing.

Use dumbbells instead and save the shoulders. Dumbbells are great muscle mass and might builders.

Use various degrees of incline. Safer, smarter, better.

Try a two- or three-inch thick bar for bench pressing — it changes groove (very cool), whil it limits the weight you can use.

Don’t go heavy on the bench anymore or pay the big price — shoulder suicide.

Train smart, eat right, smile and live long… Godspeed… Dave
