Plexus,

Sent you a personal message...check it out...seems like me and you may be similar.

I wouldn't say I've worked out these imbalances but I'm trying to get there with a combination of stretching and exercise. This is what I'm doing currently:

Stretching

* Shoulder rolls
* Pec minor
* Scalenes
* Basically all the stuff in Sharon Butler's book.

Exercise

* Cable rows
* Wall slides (really good for posture)
* External rotation
* Superman's on a swiss ball with 5-8lb dumbells

There's no doubt UCS was limiting gains. Once I suffered my injury, I quickly had to eliminate bench entirely...too painful. Anything internal rotation related didn't feel right. It was only after pec minor work and scalene stretching that things started to feel better.
