After many physio treatments it turns out I've built up a lot of scar tissue in both shoulders after benching heavy for so many yrs. My symptoms are similar to yours Crazyray - has this stretch helped you out? My front delts are really inflammed after benching for 2-3 days.
I have some ART treatment booked this wk. Will let you know how it goes & will give this exercise a try! Not been able to bench heavy without massive shoulder pain for the last 6-12 months!
Thanks for a great thread!

ART is good, this stretch is better
the first time you go to ART you will literally hear a saran wrap sound when they are breaking up the scar tissue
as of now, its been 8 or so days
the pain has come down significantly, but i still feel it. the stiffness hasn't gone away as fast. but this is how tendinitis works. firs the pain subsides, then as you get closer to 100% you start to lose the stiffness that comes from inflammation (someone surely correct me if im long)
my best guess is that i have some sort of impingement that is slowly starting to be reset due to the RC shoulder dislocation stretch
ive been doing a bunch of other stretches, and some RC exercises along with scapular retraction.
