No.Do you find when doing minimal PTTP programs such as bench and deads leave one prone to shoulder injuries down the road?
No.Do you guys buy into the rotator cuff/shoulder imbalances madness?
Care to explain?No.
No.

I don't buy into many notions; I have seen no evidence to support the notion to which you refer, some people's belief in it notwithstanding.Care to explain?
Pure benching or pullups can lead to rounded shoulders due to external rotator weakness. If you only do pushing for the upper body, you can get cartilage degeneration, labrum tears, osteoarthritis because the scapulae retractors are weak. If the lower back is weak, hamstring pulls are more common.I don't buy into many notions; I have seen no evidence to support the notion to which you refer, some people's belief in it notwithstanding.
The fact that some parts of a person's body might become more developed than others doesn't mean there is an "imbalance," just an inequality. Who's to say that my pecs should be as big as a bench presser's, or my legs as big as a squatter's or as thin as a distance runner's? If there is a problem, it should be addressed.

Ah, @Jess Burchill, I found the thread you PM'ed me about.
Life is not symmetrical. One wants symmetry as measured in certain ways, but in other ways, it will always be impossible, hence my Zen thought.
