I have been told that upright rows are good for streathening the muscle around the rotator cuff is this right ?

Thanks

If by strengthening you mean damaging then yes

But in answer to your question, it all depends which part of the rotator cuff you are targeting.

Do you have shoulder problems?

I do get slight pain in my Right shoulder but it is a lot better than it was because I have been taking cissus for a couple of months and that stuff works wonders

Cissus is good stuff - but tastes like a donkeys ar$e. Do you cap it or buy it capped?

I'd see a physio. Shoulder problems tend to get worse by ignoring them in my experience.

Do you have any loss of range of movement? Where and when do you get the pain?

The pain is mainly when I lift over head mate and the cissus Ijust eat it uncapped,stick it in my mouth with some water and and swallow it,it aint too bad,not nice but I cant be ****d capping and that ****

Bloody hell - Necking Cissus like that you must be in pain!

Upright rows are more likely to aggravate the injury IMO. Avoid behind the neck pressing as well.

Have a search of google for shoulder rehab routines. Resistance bands are usually very helpful, but I'd certinly see a physio.
