15 Fitness Exercises : Rotator Cuff Exercise Tips

[Jellis3577]

I'm not going to leave a mean comment, but I'm a certified trainer for over 10 years and I see a lot wrong with his video. I do not approve

[bigplayray09]

Okay expert village just lost ALOT of credibility from me. She is not competent at all. And the second exercise on her side is completely wrong!

[voianhemsed]

Nice one novicevillage......

[ineed2no2]

thanks pandmoanium and silnpaa....I NEEDED TO KNOW this is Wrong!

[1985wowan]

shithead!!!!

[MJapan555]

shit damn

[Staffisfaction]

"one of the rotator cuffs"

Is she implying there's more than one in each shoulder?

This is nonsense.

[CameronPT77]

hmmmm... i was hoping there would be atleast 5 different exercises... but there was only two actions in two positions. not even close to 15 exercises.

[tom10167]

I have seen two videos on youtube today from "Expertvillage" and both are quite bad. The one on this page, and one on self defense (Search block straight punch for maximum lulz) I make no judgments about the way a person looks speaks, or their gender; however when I see a person or company or whatever giving TERRIBLE advice it really bothers me. Stuff like this is certainly a big part of why there is so much confusion in athleticism.

[19grand]

boom, there it is - boom

[LHSStuntman]

Anyone that believes anything expertvilliage has to say deserves the consequences.

[skunkyttd911]

BRAVO... but wrong

[nsaminder]

All shes doing is the 'warm up' you do before the exercise with stretch bands.

And she even does this wrong.

Obviously some rich dudes lonely sad wife in her first round of plastic facial surgery.

She's surrounded herself with the wrong people & it's too late.

[NeverGiveUpK1]

why you make a video if you aint a good proffesional??! you just fuckup peoples shoulder and shitt.. stupid ass

[WorldMan1975]

dumb video, the woman doesn't understand how angles change the nature of the resistance, and the muscle groups involved. Actually, she doesn't seem to understand much of anything.

[raficsulejmanovic]

This vid is all wrong!

[bronco200005]

need a spot love??

[kosamaofficial]

Kosama, the Des Moines based fitness program is changing lives.

[JustinNGinny]

wouldnt simply doing shoulder exercises with 5 pound dumbbells work the Rotator cuffs?

[kenchelo911]

@JustinNGinny  read ^^^ pandmoanium's comment

[legendof]

Oh, rotator cuffs perform rotation?! WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT!! BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!!

[redlinebam]

why is she doing a weird ass inverted curl at the end?

[platerojohn]

duh, you need to learn basic biomechanics, this first exercise doesn't do anything for the rotator cuff

[myleskubicek]

bicep exercise, not shoulder, do it with bands or cables

[Guinness0052]

Pandamoanium is correct. She is wrong. Last exercise was a bicep curl. First exercise (and second) was an Isometric Brachioradialis exercise with shoulder ad/ab duction. ..... and the best.... she like to have her older population lay down. Good...then at least they won;t be working the radialis (until she switches into a curl).. I was looking for "new stuff"...first shot....crap.

[Seuneglacise]

Nice biceps exercice.

[clean350]

first exercise, lay on your side for it to work correctly

[kgcage14]

She doesn't have a clue!!!!! hahah Very very embarrassing to watch

[danik198127]

I agree with you all, I'm a physiotherapist and this exercise is totaly missing it's purpose!

[realeyz]

Only 1 of the 3 exercises she demonstrates is correct - the others are absolutely WRONG and this person is clearly either not a trainer or certainly shouldn't be a trainer. She has no fundamental understanding of biomechanics. Please take this video down.

[sonnyafrica1]

you expert terrorism village, you talk too much about muscles, and i knock you out with little finger, talk about squat and doesnt know what it is

yo skinny aids girl

[sonnyafrica1]

i recently dislocted my shoulder and really upset about it, its much like of being hadicapped, im doomed,

anyway, if you dislocated your shoulder just send me a message, i really want to benefit from your experience, as already worried about it, the internet stories are crazy, you read how many times people re dislocate their shoulderss..

share me the experience, im over

[CzechRiot]

180 to zero? you skipped geometry class didn't you?

and why no one ever fixed the subtitles?...

[peterkilmeena]

boom!..stop here and boom!

[ru4ur]

im a pitcher and i need Exercises for the Rotator Cuffthank you so much

[CARINOENTERTAINMET]

I suggest you dont try this it will damage your shoulder. You need resistance coming from the opposite side of what your working on. I was a sports trainer for 20 yrs and doing what this paid trainer is doing is so wrong. I can help you increase your speed and condition your shoulder if you like just email me

[CARINOENTERTAINMET]

PLease do not follow the first exercise you need to have resistance coming from the opposite side, holding a dumbell puts no resistance in the rotator cuff, the pressure is facing to the floor. she does not know much but the money shes getting paid for false advertisement. someone should sue her if they get hurt

[StripesEmpire]

@CARINOENTERTAINMET ya man, that first one she is doing is so bad for you...

I always see people at the gym doing that, with like 30lb dumbells too....

way to go in hurting yourself even more!

[malmokber]

I would just like to 2nd what carinoeenterinment said;

THIS IS NOT HOW TO REHAB OR TRAIN THE ROTATORS!!!

More INCORRECT information on the net!

If you have a problem with your shoulder read a book by a professional or consult one.

[SF1940s]

thank you so much

[jfac9000]

2:12 thats what she said,,,

[pillsburydoughboy47]

hey fuckheads nay saying, fuck you;

I just did this for 2 minutes and my shoulder already feels better!

[CARINOENTERTAINMET]

of course it feel better after 2 minutes ,just moving your arms up and down will make it feel better. It warms your muscles and also increases you synovial fluids to your rotator cuff. do it for 1 week and your be coming back crying youll see

[pillsburydoughboy47]

turn your shoulder into gelatin.

got it.

[pillsburydoughboy47]

AW HELL. Thanks for the video; I know for sure now, I've got a minor rotator cuff injury on my left shoulder.

Thanks for the video; I'm doing those every day now.

I hope I don't need surgery in the future....

[pillsburydoughboy47]

I am such a lazy ass; normally I did Tai Chi for about 20 to 40 minutes depending on my mood, now, it looks like I'm going to have to do it for hours just to fix this damn shoulder.

[kagetoh]

This is terrible in every respect.

[senyo03]

i'm a physical therapist.. and wat she's doing is absolutely wrong.. plz dont follow this video to do your exercise..

[kkjk7]

you dont know shit, fuck i can she gets paid for this

[Sillanpaa]

BOOM, this video is incorrect

[isaiahsaurus]

There are four muscles in the rotator cuff sweet heart not four rotators, also when you were side lying, performing elbow flexion with a pronated grip on the dumbell you are primarly working the coracobrachialis muscle, which is not one of the rotator coff muscles... thers more to point out here, but dont want to beat you up further ....sorry

[chvyant]

Expert Village is fucking horrible.

[tig3206]

I agree, this lady is giving poor advice and using bad technique..and the use of her terminology is also incorrect..enough said.

[stemy10]

uhm STOP dissing this vid, holy shit get lives! if you have a problem with it..

then GO MAKE YOUR OWN VID ?

..& this woman can do anything the fuck she wantss .like stfu ppl ! if you dont like it..dont dis & chirp, its uneccassary & extremely immature to tell a professional what to do, if she wants to do it her way LET HER ! omg .....

[iamtheryan]

The problem with it is if she's giving incorrect advice it could adversely effect people's health.

[usenetposts]

it's only fair to point out errors, stemy 10. After all, people's health is at stake. I'm recovering from a rotatotor cuff injury right now and I am very grateful for the informed comments telling me not to take this at face value because I've had enough pain, thank you very much.

[edwardonfire]

She doesn't know what she is talking about, but she is cute!!!

[mumblesallday]

BOOM! My cuffs are buff!

[88RF88]

do it lying on your side with a dumbbell this rotator exercise ,when standing there is hardly resistance ,yeah ,in the biceps :-P

[youngsanch]

IGNORE this woman, this advice will hurt you.

[laconchtumare]

shut up woman!

[berkeleygal]

This person truly does not know what she is talking about. First off, for basic information, there is one rotator cuff per shoulder; not four! The techniques she demonstrates are not recommended for people with rotator cuff problems. Look elsewhere for advice if you are having shoulder problems.

[tarcisiotessarolo]

You Are right..if you have a problem in the rotator cuff, you will probably increase it if you follow these exercises. For those with problems first should try the exercises with the elastic band.

[cheucklate]

What I think she was trying to say was that each rotator cuff is comprised of 4 muscles. (teres minor, supraspinatous, infraspinatous, and subscapularis.)

But yeah, I totally agree she is doing the exercise wrong :P

[sinfuldavy0]

At the beginning of the vid why can't you just use one movement, starting from the inside and working out, instead of two movements. Wouldn't cables be better for this exercise? The weight adds pressure down but cables add tension from the opposite side of the movement. Isn't that the objective? No?

[berkeleygal]

You are correct: elastic bands would be better.

[joefurzton]

fuckin bitch!!!!!

[f22turboaccord]

Your hot!!

[jrvenice1999]

You're late for grammar class.

[tradguitarplaya]

1st/2nd exercise resistance is mostly placed on biceps,not internal/external rotator cuff!!oppps

[Plumfire2]

wow terrible video she needs to stay in the kitchen

[mayaluvsmusic]

lol ouch!

[jgizzy]

"Expert" Village? This video is misinformation -- DO NOT follow her advice, look elsewhere. She does not know what she is talking about, I am sorry.

[ltgnerd]

And you know what you are talking aobut how/why? What makes *you* a genius? No one will hurt themselves following this - if they have a brain. I am sorry.

[massagepro12903]

BOOM!

[speedruna19]

You really shouldn't post something that you obviously have no clue what you are doing.

[ltgnerd]

As I posted to the other twit, for you to say *she* has no idea what she is doing *YOU* must then support that *YOU* know something. Sans any offering of your intelligence or experience you have ZERO call to crap on anyone trying to offer information. If you disagree (and there is plenty to disagree with in this video), then state your points. Oh wait, that would take intelligence.

[cityballer43]

she blinks really slow

[kingjoms]

how long it takes to make rotor cuffs to be strong...

my rotor cuffs hurts almost a year because of basketball...

and now im doing a self rehab...

im in two weeks now... :)

[rick0000122]

standing like that pulls on the damm rotator believe me i know and it hurts!

[pandmoanium]

The second version (lying down) works because gravity & the resistance is now on the deltoid & rotator cuff & not the elbow

[pandmoanium]

Excuse me. That 1st exercise will only work with a theraband or cable system. The dumbell will not work because gravity is placing the resistance on the elbow....NOT the rotator cuff or deltoid. My wife is a pro athlete & we are both trainers. We correct this mistake all day long.

[MasterTenku]

You do it laying down.

[Opinionator]

You can also do it standing with a theraband.

[risingsun08107]

@pandmoanium you're right, its amazing to see how many people do this in the gym. its so obvious that it doesn't work the rotators, yet its still so popular. COME ON PEOPLE, JUST THINK ABOUT IT

[stompin74]

@pandmoanium what to do then constantpain medial to the deltoid well actuallty tol stiffness n pain when over head reachin or etc ...... mostly feels in anterir part of shoulder any tips pro athletes

[thepakibye]

@pandmoanium No it works with the dumbell, u just have to lie down on the floor.

[pandmoanium]

@thepakibye Thats what I said in my second comment. Trust me, I know what works.

[thepakibye]

@pandmoanium I know wat works too. I just recovered from RC injury. 4 long months of Rehab and i can finally work out again. man shoulder injuries are the worst because it takes forever to heal due to lack of blood flow in the shoulders. Its sad to see ppl working out in the gym without doing any rc exercise.

[legendof]

@pandmoanium I am not pro, just a college student with a fucked up cuff, and you're right. I don't have the degrees you and your spouse have, so I would just like to thank you for properly helping your clients. Too many uneducated personal trainers out there. However, I don't blame them. Clients should be educated, but that too is a trainers job I believe. Thank you for changing the weight of the world, one pound at a time.

[GreatBlueKnight]

@pandmoanium Well, as a trainer myself, I have to agree. I like strengthening my rotator cuff while stabilizing my elbow up on a specific position and then engaging my shoulder and deltoid area with light weights and slow controlled reps.

The problem with expert village, is that the experts are not the experts that experts consider as experts lol!

Well, at least I know that there are other good trainers out there that want the best for their clients and see others as more than just income.

[MultiNiravshah]

@pandmoanium sir i have ligament tear in left shoulder since 2 yrs i came across in swimming. air will it b as ussual by this exercises. i became depressed due to this. thinking always abt surgery. and i m 24 and was very good pace bowler. please reply me.

[emilovich]

Oh my god, this is sad

[bplou22]

sorry but that lady is a joke

[gervasro]

Who posted this and what credentials do you have, where did you get your education. It is important to research exercises, the anatomy and the proper terminology before you post them in a video; otherwise you look very foolish. Rotator cuffs? 180 to zero, where? You went from zero(straight arm) to 90 deg of elbow flexion. I'm sure you are nice people but you need to revise this video because 95% of it is wrong and will not help people who need REAL rotator cuff exercises for shoulder integrity.

[pshclub]

not sure if she's reputable or not, but i'd definitely hit it ... she's a total hottie

[joesgirl1968]

Boom

[docspaugh]

This is a terrible video for rotator cuff exercises. This lady is obviously not a physical therapist and should not be giving exercise advice on shoulder injuries.

[hatemail11]

If you had a rotator cuff injury you prob could not do this exercise effectively anyway.Ineffective exercise.

[palpateit]

Scary. As stated below, standing internal & external rotation with a dumbbell is ineffective. She also is using too much weight - need to start one pound as to not activate larger muscles and to build up endurance. Her pronated elbow flexion exercise activates brachialis, which has nothing to do with the shoulder joint. No exercise is shown for supraspinatus, or subscapularis. The external rotation (teres minor, infraspinatus) doesn't go through full range of motion.

[danapointtrainer]

yeah, I totally agree... I see people at the gym doing this, I gave up correcting people a long time ago, they'd look at me and roll their eyes... whatever.

[Madele76]

Always be aware of the persons credentials, before following their advice on exercises esp. these videos posted on the web. You'll save yourself from harm.

[Madele76]

Dumb bells can't resist the rotator muscles when in standing, use a theraband or tube.

Also the last exercise she mentioned regarding bending and straigthening the elbow doesn't work the shoulder rotators, only the elbow flexors. If you want to learn more about shoulder exercises for medical conditions, better go to a PT or orthopedic specialist for sound professional advice.

I had a friend before that went to train with a so called expert in the gym. She ended up with an injury.

[Madele76]

People shouldn't follow this exercise routine, because the person doesn't know what she is doing. The first and second exercise doesn't strengthen the shoulder rotators. The sidelying position is a better position to resist the rotators. What she is doing is only range of motion exercise in standing for the rotators.

[3797cd]

She's done some exercise to tone her arms, but she's definitely no expert. There's no point to holding the weight in that standing exercise b/c it only resists the elbow flexors, not the shoulder muscles. Then she goes on to a sidelying exercise which she inaccurately says goes from "180 degrees". This is again not even a shoulder motion, but elbow extension from 90 degrees to 0 or full extension.Please see an OT or PT, not some flake that says "boom" and doesn't know her terminology or muscles.

[sz42781]

im 27 and have been lifting weights for 7 years, my right cuff cracks alot and it feels a little weird not painful but diffrent. By doing these exercises do you think i can help it recover?

[gawing666]

my mother has rotator cuff injury.. is this good exercise for her?

[tiarnan76]

no, dont use any weights if youve an injury, stretching is the best, type in "rotator cuff stretching"..

[Jburton1974]

This woman has very little knowledge of the rotator cuff or rotator cuff muscles. The way these exercises are demonstrated could actually lead to further impingement and dysfunction of the rotator cuff (a folded towel between the arm and the ribs would correct this).

If you have an injury, please see a real expert.

[eduardo2464]

hey these exercises for the rotator cuffs also help in throwing a football right?

[kahvac]

Excellent video thanks for making it. I need all the help I can get after my surgery.

[thompson777]

Your amazing, thanks!!

[kemaltt]

good exercises. thanks.
