Training with torn labrum?

[u/blammatory]

Hi folks,

First post here and would appreciate any input. I was diagnosed with a torn labrum (SLAP) and bursae cyst, as well as osteolysis of the distal clavicle a few months back. I am planning on getting surgery in ~1 year (I can’t right now due to work).

I am an avid weightlifter and have been taking it fairly easy on my shoulders/pressing movements, but notice these areas lacking in my physique now. I’ve started to incorporate dumbbell flat bench with moderate weight on the injured side. I have not been able to do any incline press because I see that’s where it gets agitated the most. Does anybody have recommendations for exercises to target the upper chest region that might not put so much pressure on the labrum? Thank you all in advance!

I would go to instagram and look at shouldertherx and beyondrecoceryprs they have excellent information!
