Many people who go to the gym eventually end up with shoulder pain due to overtraining (endless bench press, or pushups) and sloppy technique. Hence, it is reasonable to say that a balanced training program is important. Here are a few tips:
1) Train the whole body using movements that involve the 'entire' body instead of muscles in isolation. For example, a dumbell curl is pretty much an isolation exercise that works the biceps. You can save time and work your arms, shoulders, etc by doing other exercises such as squats with dumbell at shoulder level, etc.
2) Work on the smaller, stabilising muscles. In this post, I found three great videos where the physio to the Navy SEAL team gives some advice. Enjoy!
