This movement does a much better job of stabilizing your shoulders and strengthening the entire shoulder girdle than bench press (which can be problematic to the shoulders).

You're right. Jeff Everson did an article about 5 years ago on the long term problems he has suffered because of years of heavy benching. I am suffering those same type of problems now. Sometimes getting older means going lighter for a very different reason. But working out is not something I will ever give up. I think that working out, like a lot of other things is a bug that you keep for life.
