I used to do upright rows, which I think initially caused my SIS shoulder pain which Ive mentioned on here in the past, and recently found a huge help for the pain. I havent done them for 2 years now tho. I wouldn't do them with a barball in the first place as my wrists wanted to snap off, I used an ez curl bar on a cable.
Another thing about shoulder presses. just as bad for you as behind the head, is when you do them to the front with your body near 90* and try to lower the weight to your chin height. alot of people do this in the smith machine. with the bar infront of your chin its a good 6-10 inches infront of your hip, spine, shoulder, gravity line. you're directing force in a horrible angle doing that, the movement tries to pry your shoulders out.
I firmly believe the 90* rotating from neutral grip at the bottom to palms forward at the top dumbell presses that Ive been doing for the last few months is a much much better movement, not just for shoulder angles, but for deeper ROM as well. I get more feel from it with less weight than traditional db shoulder presses.
