I have begun to substitute incline dumbbell presses and flat bench dumbbell flyes. This will allow me to continue with my training, while protecting my rotator cuff from further injury. This article specifies baseball players, but it describes well the type of injury I’m speaking of: http://www.cincinnati.md/articlepage_cn.aspx?cn-documentid=636892&query=rotator cuff injury&s=1&cat=con .
Training should NOT cause you pain. If it does, try another angle or exercise. If you’re at a gym, a crossover pulley sweep really works the pectoralis major (chest muscle), anterior deltoid (shoulder to top of biceps) and triceps brachii.
Also, be mindful of your nutrition if you want to see results in terms of increased muscle tone and strength.
