The Behind the neck press should be avoided. going BTN puts unneccessary impingement on the shoulder. This impingement may not be much initially, but it adds up, and eventually, you are on the injury board complaining of a shoulder injury with no idea why it happened.
And yes, pull ups should be in their, much more effective than curls for the majority of trainees.

Pain is only temporary, it is in your mind. If you can still walk, then you can still run.
