I'm gonna need some PT/manual therapy. In my past life I overemphasized pushing movements WAY too much. My left subscapularis (rotator cuff muscle) has been tight/inflamed for like a year. Just a warning to dudes who love bench day too much. I've since been enlightened.
Balanced workouts is KEY for shoulder health. Push/pull ration should be like 1:2. You should also balance horizontal/vertical pushing and pulling. If you're overhead pressing, you should be doing vertical pulls (chin up patterns, lat pulldowns, etc.). Same goes with horizontal movements.
I feel it. I try to do pull ups and/or face pulls almost every time I workout
