The results of the MRI were negative. They gave me a cortozone (sp?) shot in the shoulder and that has helped with the pain. I started benching again and haven't had any pain. I'm not sure if that is the result of the shot or just time away from benching and whatever it was that was hurt healed. Thanks for the advice. I think that is the same exercise a physical therapist told me to do. It seems to be working.

: Hi Eric, what were the results of your MRI?
:
: Dave Scott has me doing inverted hand dumbell raises between
: bench sets. I hold the dumbell, like maybe an 8 pounder, with my
: thumb pointed down so the dumbell shaft is perpendicular to the
: floor and my arm is 45 degrees out from my body, slowly raising
: the bumbell to shoulder height. That works the tiny muscles that
: comprise the rotator cuff and strenthens them. If you don't need
: surgery, give that a try.

: hope that works
