Shoulder Impingement: Adjust grip width first to find a pain-free pressing position; if grip adjustment is insufficient, substitute Floor Press or Dumbbell Bench Press to limit range of motion and reduce impingement stress
Shoulder Pain / Discomfort: Landmine Press, maintaining the same set and rep structure with a load that allows strong pressing mechanics throughout
Hotel Gym / Travel: Every 2:00 x 5 Sets: Dumbbell Bench Press or Floor Press using the same descending rep structure, building in load across all five sets
