What exercises can replace the overhead press?

What exercises can replace the overhead press?I have a sharp shooting pain in my left shoulder whenever I attempt a barbell or dumbbell overhead press with a standard grip. Right now I'm using dumbbells with a neutral grip a few inches more forward than usual (otherwise my shoulder pain gets triggered). As I raise the weight, however, the pain is starting up again so the neutral grip workaround is about over as well. So my question is about what combination of exercises make for a decent substitution. Are things like lat raises and face pulls + incline bench enough? I've seen the incline bench press mentioned as a substitute for overhead presses in some programs, so I'm thinking of doing those accessories combined with the incline bench. submitted by /u/fpuen [link] [comments]
