The front of my left shoulder feels really tight and sore after tricep/chest day. After some research, looks like I'm getting inflammation or damage in my rotator cuff.
So, our gym has a shoulder ergonometer, the hand-bicycle thingy. I hear it's really good for alleviating pain and building up the rotator muscles.
What's a good routine? Should I think number of reps or amount of time?

I have a similar issue. Had problems in progressing with my chest press so went to see a physio. Told me to stop all "push" activities until I got the alignment right with my shoulder blade/rotator cuff.
Might not be what you want to hear, but could prevent further damage.0 -
Sounds like your positioning on benching/triceps movements is wrong. IMO, flat benching isn't really needed anyway and that incline bench develops a nicer look to the chest.
What are the exercises you do?

I'm exclusively incline bench when it comes to benching, elbows in, shoulder-width grasp.
Also did db flies and lat lifts for upper body yesterday. Not much weight, 15lb to 20 lb, 10-15reps / 4 sets each. For triceps, just some standard forward and reverse-overhead cable stuff.0
