I think, although I'm not sure, that Anuj has loose shoulder joints or shoulder instability.

If you're just recovering from a dislocation that resulted in injury then I can see and would recommend caution on benching in general. Overall I don't think benching is a problem. By the way you described you're previous injury it seems like a problem relating to external rotation. I.E. the joint is loose and the rotator cuff/shoulder blade muscles are weak and so on the way down during overhead pressing your shoulder sort of slips backwards (elbow forward). I'm I getting this right, Anuj?

If that is the case then what Macdow is saying makes sense. If your can press at 45 degrees then straight in front of you shouldn't be a problem either. But I'm not a shoulder expert either!

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
