shoulder rotator cuff exercises

what can i do, i have a reacuring pain in my shoulder and ive been recomended to do shoulder rotator cuff exercises

Personally I think rotator cuff exercises are a bit old school and often not what a lifter needs to make their shoulders healthier.

Concentrating on things like rear delt work or scap pushups has given me much more success in the past. Stretching pecs regularly helps a lot I found too. A week of rest can do wonders if they're just generally beat up.

There are a couple of good stretches you can do too... a good one is the sleeper stretch if you're lacking flexibility in that area.

Have you had an expert diagnosis as to what the problem is? A lot of the time the problems stem from muscle imbalances, very often the pecs are much more developed than the upper back which can move the joint out of position.
The therabands are very useful for doing rotator cuff exercises both internal and external but you could use a cable pulley type machine or some very light dumbells. The object is to trigger the muscles so there is no need to do huge weights.
This guy demonstrates a few exercises very well.

thanx guys appreciate it

Eric Cressey has some useful stuff on sorting out banged up shoulders. Worth reading.

Simple really, just strap your cock on, leave your pussy at home, stick a bar on your back and bend you knees - shoulder ache will be long forgotten.

Face pulls
band aparts

standing L-Fly with a light DB ~5Kg - 10Kg, high reps and keep the control tight. Sorted my RC impingement out in about 4weeks

On second thoughts, do this. Will keep me in business in a few years time!
