Just wondering if any of you out there have experienced the following in relation to your slap tear: I have upcoming surgery on 11/18 and have been trying to get through my workouts the best that I can. But I have noticed that my pec/chest on the left side (left shoulder is the one that's injured) is soft and not as hard in comparison to my right when flexed. Anyone else notice this especially when doing the pec deck or other chest exercise? Does the slap tear have any relation to the pectoral muscle?

I know after my anterior inferior capsular shift (for torn labrum after dislocation), my left pectoral muscle was never the same.
Forget pec flies, and it may even be wise to avoid the bench all together for building chest strength...the compromise to shoulders is simply not worth it in the long run.
