| Re: Injury Advice - Rotator Cuff !!! Well, I think the important ones would be this.
The inner rotatior gets hit with the 90 degree one where you pull into your stomach, the outer ones get hit in the opposite direction.
So, now that we have both of those covered, that will aid probably 80% success just with those exercises.
Now to get the best bang for the buck, here is what I suggest.
Go to the lat pulldown machine and stand in front of it.
With strait arms pull the bar down to your lower stomach.
Use no more than 20-30 lbs here as then you will hit the lats and the primary muscles will take over leaving the secondary muscles alone and this would be counter productive.
Now that leaves one last one. I cant explain this one very well but they are called Cuban Rotators.
They are done where you take a very light bar like 15 lbs or even less, hold the bar just above your head like you are doing a military press.
Then you let the bar go down in front of your face keeping your arms at the 90% locked twards the ground.
Moving the bar in front of the face then back to just on top of your head.
When you do these stick out your chest and kind of suck in the stomach or sortof suck the stomach up to the diaphram.
These are very cool.
One more exercise that some do is to take a light dumbell and bend over while supporting your body with your hand on a bench. Then all you do is let the dumbell hang and do circular motions with the dumbell.
You probably wont need to do these but it is an option.
Also, try to get your back, rhomboids, and rear delts stronger, this will aid in support of the shoulder.
