most shoulder injury's seem to come from barbell shoulder presses and flat bench barbell presses.
i am not exactly sure why but i can tell you that barbell hurts my shoulders and DB's dont. i hardly ever do barbell presses anymore.Comment

I am still aching....I'm actually up tonite from bed cause I cant get comfortable no matter how I lay my arm. Its a little better, doc wouldnt give me any pain killer...said it sounds like a pulled muscle and take tylenol. I would think if its bad enough to keep me awake at night maybe I need something a little stronger than tylenol....oh well....time is helping....skipped last few days of lifting. I am still doing cardio. I workout on a 6 day schedule. 3 days weight training and 3 days cardio rotating.....Comment

Barbells don't allow for a natural rom in the hands/subsequent joints in those types of movements - they still serve a great purpose in weightlifting but they aren't the "safest" exercises/weights you can be utilizing that's for sure...
Of course I use them and so do about 1,000,000,000 other people because quite simply - THEY WORK. Unfortunately ALL of my injuries have involved barbells only if that helps dissuade you in any way (and I'm currently nursing a bad shoulder injury from a bench press movement and a nasty elbow injury likely from the same type of movement but at a later date :()Comment
