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.

    After my knee operation I went to the gym instructor for advise. Sorry to say her advice was way off the wall as far as I was cocerned. So I went to the hospital physio therapist and after 3 days of her help I could not walk. I then followed my own plan of not doing anything that would cause pain and everything is fine. I think many of these so called experts really do not know what they are talking about. I am lucky I have my brother Thurlow to consult with, he is a source of good information that has never failed me. He knows more about the body then anyone I have met. He does live 3000 miles from me but we confer regularly. I think he will say thumbs up when you use a dumbell but I will check.
