A bit tricky to balance at first, but once you get your core activated, it's pretty manageable.

Yeah or a kettlebell held upside down. You can do that with bench press too. Apparently very good for rotator stability
My update: My right shoulder is fine now, and my back is fine as long as I don't do squats or DL. I hit my legs with things like hack machine, leg press, curls, extensions, glute ham raises. The sissy shit but I have no choice for now. I am doing the "Stuart McGill Big 3" every day now, and hope to get my core strong enough where I can add the power lifting stuff back in gradually. I am going to be VERY careful with it from now on. Basically I'll only be doing singles when I do start up again.
I am back to lifting 4-5 days a week, a pretty normal routine. Appetite is big again. Gainz are coming back!
Actually now my
left shoulder is starting to flare up a bit, so I have to take care with that. I'm not really sure the exact movement that is causing so many problems with my shoulders. I'm sure it's not overhead press, since they actually don't hurt when I do that. If anything it's anything I do chest based... Flyes, bench press. I have to find new ways to hit the chest that are easier on the shoulders. This is despite doing some pretty steady rear delt and stability AND mobility training for the past 6 months
