The last place someone with shoulder problems should probably be is doing typical upper body exercises in the gym. Been being careful. Lot of work on strengthening things. My routine has been: Day 1: 20 minutes of cardio on a bike or climber followed by an hour on the machines working legs Day 2: 20 minutes of cardio on a bike or climber followed by an hour on the machines working upper body Day 3: Swim laps with a mix of distance and sprints Repeat. Not using free weights other than dumb bells. Keeping resistance low on the machines and doing a lot of reps. In two months I've lost 8 pounds overall and probably replaced another 8 pounds of body fat with muscle. Look better and feel better overall. When I do upper body I to a lot of Lats, Chest, Shoulder and Tris. I do very little Biceps. Really focusing on the stuff needed for surfing. Wake up in the morning though and the shoulder feels like shit from sleeping on it. Also last week surfed wearing a 5mm suit and the shoulder was feeling pretty shitty after 2 hours. I was pretty bummed with how I felt surfing because I thought I was a lot farther along than that from the work in the gym. Pain is all towards the top of the recovery stroke.....that last foot when you reach forward.......not in the pull stroke.

A few random suggestions (I’m not a doctor)
Light resistance band work (15 lbs)
Farmers walks (some people believe the vibrations radiate up your arms into shoulder as you walk with weight and over time strengthen shoulder in unique way)
Train with thick barbell or fat grips (thick bar is thought to reduce stress on joints in pressing exercises and strengthen grip, which some believe translates to better overall upper body condition)
Do dead hangs from pull up bar for as long as possible
Pushups/ dips on gymnastics rings
Yoga Dead Hangs was one of the stretches that got me on the road back. I've been doing a ton of that for the past year.

The way he was manipulating the shoulder, figuring out pain and pressure points, testing range of motion and prescribing exercises was not something a layman could ever figure out on m own.
The knowledge a good PT can possess is pretty amazing.
