I've had tendonitis of the right shoulder and then a few years later another shoulder injury on my left shoulder.

Both times went to physiotherapy for about four or five months.

Be wary of the bench press. I've since replaced that exercise with the dumbbell press but pressing the dumbbells together while pressing up.

But lately, I seemed to have developed tennis elbow on my right arm and oncoming golfer's elbow on my left. I'm guessing it may have to do with being too aggressive with progessive resistance on the dumbbell rows.

Now because of the elbows, I have trouble with the deadlift, dumbbell press, shoulder press and pulling exercises (including cables), and the bulgarian split squats.

I'm trying to avoid the exercises that involve my elbows. So I'm doing more legs but I'm back on the bench press but with lighter weights and doing drop sets instead. The bench press is where the arms are assisting each other instead of being isolated like the dumbbells do.
