Or just sack up and deal with some pain. ;-) I have separated both AC's, have arthritis in both as well as tears in both RC's. I still do heavy bench and shoulder press. I just live with not being able to lift my arm above waist level the rest of the day.

I ignore the pain on bench.
The problem with O/H press for me isn't actually lifting the weight. It's when my shoulder fails which isn't really predictable. When it fails, I'm usually half way through the rep and I can't control the weight on the way back down. I've smacked myself in the head with dumbbells and lost weights off of a barbell when using that. So, I just avoid doing the exercise.
