Keep at it! You'll shoot over that plateau at some point. You ever try to alter your rep rhythm or width of your grip?
I haven't been playing around too much with grip width because I have shoulder issues too. I just try to keep my grip shoulder width and my rhythm is explosive up, controlled down and right back up explosively. I've spent the past year rehabilitating it, through physical therapy and other tips I got from local athletes. I just started heavy lifting again for my shoulders about 2 months ago. It's been going good just I have really plateaued, but I feel it might be a little mental because I haven't pushed my shoulder to the max yet.
