Anyone know of some good shoulder/rotator cuff workouts (especially with some moderate weights)? Last year, I had a problem with my shoulder since coming into a wall hard and having the joint slip out. I don't want that to happen this year so I'm working on strengthening it before the swimming actually starts. Like 1.5 months before. Thanks in advance guys!
I'm already doing the butterfly (horizontal arm raises with weights standing up)
And that one machine where you pull an overhead bar behind your shoulders into a squat position and lift it back up. But that's majorly focues on the big back deltoids. I want the rotator cuffs and pinpointed shoulder workouts.
I am a physical therapist. Using theraband for rotator cuff strengthening can damage the shoulder more than help it.
You need to focus on scapular stabilization and your shoulder dyskinesis. This will also help strengthen your rotator cuff.
Stay away from the theraband.
You should see a qualified professional, who understands swimming and the shoulder, to get you on a structured program.
