But it is not easy for the ego of many to to do dumbbell bench or front squats for less weight.

What shoulder excercises do you like when overhead pressing is bad?

with shoulders we focus a lot on scap protraction and retraction- as well as ITYW patterns. front squats are good- but many players also complain of issues with the weight sitting on their shoulders the heavier it gets. we will do suitcase squats holding dumbbells at sides- focusing on pulling shoulders back as well to work the retractors. As for pressing- our pitchers typically stay away because a tight pec is the root of most arm injuries- instead we choose protract/ retract pushups and cable pressing that uses the core in a rotary fashion and the pec as a secondary anterior push muscle group.

I know this is an old post, but I sent you a PM and I would appreciate any feedback that you may have. I am lifting right now 3 days a week and I have gotten a workout plan from a CC near me.
