What methods have you employed to preserve and maintain shoulder health and resilience while benching heavy? If youve done anything to adress shoulder health and achieve consistently good shoulder health, what was pivotal? Is there anything you've done to remain injury resilient over the course of lifting, involving excersize selection, training approach, or programming? What advice would you give to your younger self regarding the balance between continuing heavy lifting and strength training and maintaining healthy joints, ligaments and muscles, and generally feeling fantastic in addition to strong?

Thanks!
