For the the last several months I have been playing with my bench press form and varying my grip and I have come to the conclusion that I need to stop doing bench. It doesn’t matter if it is DB or BB the movement really hurts my right shoulder. Push-ups do not however. And I have noticed that despite the fact that I didn’t do any pressing besides push-ups and hand stand push-ups while I was in the Fire Academy, my horizontal pressing strength was better then than it is now since I started training bench.
