Need alternative for close grip press

[B3astmde]

I have not ever had a really serious shoulder injury but I have bruised my AC joint and such and when I train sometimes my shoulder gets inflamed and I get a dull nagging pain. This is escpecially predominent when I do close grip presses with any noticeable weight. Can I find an alternative exercise or should I superset skull crushers with them with an ez curl bar or just fatigue them to the point where like 100-135lbs on them at the end is all they need?


It sucks cause I love this moment and I would love to do some serious weight on it but I no longer can.

have you tried reverse grip bench press? this might take some of the pressure off of your shoulder

if you arent doing dips yet, and are able to... that would be a good substitution...

dips would be next inline

Try skull crushers with a dumbbell. This is much easier on the elbows and shoulders and I've never seen better tricep gain from doing anything else.

French press is legit
