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.

ive had multiple problems with both shoulders in my years of swimming... ive had three arthroscopic surgeries on my left shoulder...
the only thing that works for me to keep my tendons from loosening and my joint from slipping is to strengthen my upper back.
every time ive been in pysical therapy for my shoulders (5 times over 6 years) they gave me the same excersizes. i figured that they must do some good... i do them every day & have gone from barely being able to swim a 100 without pain.. to swimming 3500 yards a day 5 times a week. :D
