Serratus punches

[Jake LaMotta]

I will be returning to weightlifting in a couple of months after being in physical therapy for tendonitis and bursitis due to having a shoulder decompression (acromioplasty) surgery in November. While I'm in physical therapy my PT has me doing these (except with a neutral grip and he has me doing them on a flat bench):

Have you guys ever done these? What did you think of them? Should I continue to use them in my weightlifting routine when I'm done with physical therapy?

Also, what about these?:
