Is this a good exercise for swimmers? I tried it recently and was surprised how weak I was on my non-dominant (right) side, which is also the side I've had some nagging shoulder soreness up until recently. I have been ignoring my deltoids in my weight training routine up until about a month ago, to go easy on my shoulders. Recently I started doing some exercises that target the deltoids and my shoulder soreness has diminished a lot, so I plan to keep it up and maybe try more exercises.

  • our team just brought in a physical therapist that talked about shoulder injuries. one of the excerises she suggested was front raises, but open your arms to 60 deg and rotate your hand so that your thumb is pointing down. she also suggested just using bands or very very light weight.
