I agree w/ norr & bullfrog. I also have the "7 Minute Rotator Cuff Solution", an excellent read. If you do the rotator cuff exercises at least 2 times a day for 2 weeks, you will find your shoulders to be close to 100% again.
I have also gone to an A.R.T. chiropractor. He was very helpful, and was able to expand on the rotator cuff exercises in the book. I recommend you get the book and go see an A.R.T. therapist, your problem will be gone.

Have a torn rotator cuff in my left shoulder. Got to the point where any time I lifted my are to catch a ball or something it would pop out. I have 2 buddies with same condition. After X number of trips to hospital and hundreds later we got to where we could pop each others shoulders back in. Went to a many docs and all wanted to operate. Fuck that, 2 friends had the surgury. 1 was a success the other was no better. This was before orthoscopic so they both have big zippers. I decided to train really carefully and right. Took YEARS and I still have pain some nights but I can press 265 behind my neck and it hasn't popped out in years. take your time and work your shoulder carefully.

UPDATE
welp, took StoneColdGold advice and went to an A.R.T practitioner. I went to Dr. Castro as well and all I can say is that I benched yesterday for the first time in 2 and a half months. Granted it still hurt a bit, but before I couldn't even lift the bar let alone max out. Incline was NO pain whatsoever. I got a few more sessions and I truly believe i'll be healed. This shit is no joke, my shoulder has been fucked up and this guy cured it. Unbelievable.

Thanks for the replies. I managed to bench on Monday. I couldn't go over 205, I normally use 275. It doesn't hurt as much if I lift my butt off the bench. I know thats not the best habit to get into.
The doc told me not to take time off, just train around the pain. He also showed me an exercise designed to hit the infraspinatus and supraspinatus. It's basically a dumbell front raise holding the dumbell with the thumb pointed straght down. I can feel the burning in the muscle so it must be hitting it.

what does a rotator cuff feel like? I have some sort of fucked up front shoulder/pec attachment to the arm area shit that still feels like shit after about 6 months of no benching. I heard somebody say something about "jabbers shoulder" from boxing. is that what i have or is it my RC?? its like somewhat in the front of my shoulder, and somewhat inner, but then sometimes i think its the spot where my pec attaches to my arm/shoulder. anybody had this?? i cant bench, cant dip, even two fucking pushups is too much pain when its feeling shitty. guess ill be checking out ART unless my next cycle helps me rehab it or some shit. thanks for the info

nhbgorilla ... ART is fairly inexpensive. My suggestion would be to go get the problem fixed NOW, then do your cycle. steroids are not going to fix the problem. as for your problem, it is probably both the shoulder AND the pec. if you have a problem in one of these areas, you are guaranteed to either have or a develop a problem in the other. these two areas are so closely related on the kinetic chain, they might as well be treated as a single entity. i guarantee if you get the pec loosened up, the pain in your shoulder will disappear. it is probably being pulled out of proper alignment by the tightness in your chest.
fast twitch... doing work to strengthen the rotator cuff is great, but again, how interested are you in getting back into your training at full go?
guys all i can do is continue to post threads full of guys claiming to be "miraculously" healed. if that doesn't convince you to go get better, nothing will.
