So what are good alternatives to the OHP and Bench press, while recovering from having fucked up your rotator cuff?

I can promise you good sir, I am in fact quite human.

WTF you just call me? I'm not even a doglet! I can tell you I'm the tallest doggo, I mean human, in my pack!

How did you fuck up?
You shouldn't be lifting if you still have the injury. Only legs

Am currently rehabbing a rotator cuff injury, so this is what I've been doing
I can still OHP with no pain at all, so I've been doing that as normal. For bench, I slashed my working sets by 50% and do 10x3 with that weight every upper body/chest day. Every week I try to increase the weight by 10lbs. Ideally, it should be at the threshold of discomfort, but not pain. If it hurts, I stop immediately.
also do some mobility work in the vein of
> 3x20 face pulls supersetted with cable tricep extensions
> 5x20 band pull-aparts
> 3x10 rear delt flies (pec deck)
> lacrosse ball massage
> AMRAP plate raises with a 10lb plate going all the way overhead

the goal is to rehab, not get stronger. So be patient, don't push it, and be consistent

Thank you. This gives me some idea of what to work out from.
Finally got the hang of what works, and doesn't work for me workout wise. But never had any injuries of this sort before.

No alternatives, you lift through the pain unless it's broken.

Well that's what I've been doing for a year now, until I now can't do a pushup without severe pain in my right shoulder....So I'd say it's broken enough to have me excused for trying alternatives while it recover. However going back to very light weight, and doing recovery work seems to be the best way to go....Bye bye 1.5xBW Bench goal...
