Challenge for Chess building.
I'm working with a friend and he's playing BasseBall as pitcher and every time we do our chest he can't go as far as he wants to because his shoulders are hurting him too much. Is there a way (for him) to gain some major mass to his chess even if his shoudler can't take the weight pressure of a bench? He's going to physio but doesn't help much... So beside Pull-Over, Cross-Over and Fly is there any good mouvement for chest without doing a press?
He's looking for a naturall way to gain major mass to his chess
Thanks in advance everyone!

I have problems with my shoulder that affect my chest workouts as well. The best option that I have found (other than the exercises you have listed) is presses with a Hammer strength machine. Even though it is a pressing movement, I have been able to do them without affecting my shoulder.

bingo.. tell him to use lever machines. they will be the answer for his problems they never go pass 90 degrees and wont harm his shoulder further. also they are isolated movments which arent as great as compounds but its at lease something. also if god for big his shoulders give out he wont have x amount of LBS falling on him.

I especially love the Incline Knight Flyes and am a firm believer in Decline Pawn Presses to help my Chess. No but on a serious note, maybe try some pushups, that will help build strength and with strength comes size, also maybe conisder some shoulder strenghtening exercises to rebuild up the shoulder some and then concentrate more on chest. Some stretches before lifting may be helpful as well, there are many stretches he could do with a bunge cord or just up against the wall for his chest and shoulder, his injury sounds like it may be a rotator cuff injury. From above posts he may want to work with some machines too, or even consider a towel bench where he would basically still perform a barbell bench press, but just lower the wiehght to a rolled up towel which lies on his chest and this could be his touch point rather than chest, therefore, he would not have to go as deep on the bench still be able to perform and should be able to gain some strength and size. I hope this helps.

Hammer strength and other weighted machines are the best because your not hurtin your shoulders as much because you dont have to balance the bar.....

You say he does pullovers these are a killer on my shoulders.Perhaps his current routine is the problem has he tried any negatives on the bench press.

use the smith machine. i had a problem with my shoulder coming out off socket a few years ago. it will help take the pressure ofyour shoulders. you can do incline, decline, and flat like this. i had to do this along with any military presses for like a full year until i strengthened the ligaments and tendons around my shoulder enough to use the regular barbell or dumbell. it worked well it was recomended by my orthopedic surgeon.
