as a person with shoulder issues since age 20, seated shoulder presses are also rough for someone with shoulder issues.
As explained earlier, those were exercises for preventative measures, not rehabilitative.

Hey, don't look at me. Wasn't my original comment, I'm not a medical professional, never played one on TV, and it's been more than a few nights since I've slept at a Holiday Inn Express.
This thread makes my shoulder hurt.

Yeah, I was thinking about it. My issues with incline were high school football off season. Im sure everything we were doing was poor form. Our coaches weren't great in the weight room.
1) incline bench is best with dumbbells not barbell.
2) the incline should be fairly minimal. A lot of times I see the set up angle at over 30degrees which is far from optimal
3) most football coaches aren't going to address shoulders rolling forward vs. pinned back...and they often do not address the massive levels of ego lifting happening on exercises that should be done as lighter auxiliary work.
I didn't take any offense at your comment and appreciate you taking the opportunity to reflect on your experiences.
I just wanted to provide some clarity.
I'd separated my shoulder something like a dozen times. So when I took up disc golf, I pretty much immediately tore my labrum.
I won't recommend specific exercises, but a mix of front raises, lateral raises, reverse flys, standing presses, ski kickbacks, the thing where you stand flat against the wall and raise your arms, pushups, and a few other things has made a mind blowing difference to how much I can throw without pain.
I think this is the reason for the advice above regarding dumbbells vs barbells. A dumbbell is gonna allow you to lift in a stable fashion for your particular build, versus a barbell that is going to force your arms into a position that may not be ideal for you.As a person with almost a 10 year training history, a lot of interest (amateur) in biomechanics and scientific strength literature and a history of shoulder issues: almost anything you do can be terrible for your shoulders, technique and individual differences matter a lot more.
Heck, I've tweaked my shoulder doing deadlifts. Follow best practices, don't do things that hurt and build up all the muscles around your shoulder joint, get help from a physical therapist if it's a serious issue.

A thought that I just had, that I'm sure is total coincidence.
Not a ton of injuries at the top of disc golf. The last 3 major injuries that I can think of --- Simon, Eagle, Gavin Rathbun. All throwing Discmania.
I injure my shoulder sleeping…
You're not wrong.
Also, Tristian Tanner was injured last year. Uliberry is partially injured or tweaked right now. Didn't Paul McBeth put terribly a few years ago with a back injury?
