Hi Kev, you brought up many good points but the only one i disagree with is that you cant do external rotaton exercises with a band. If people have a rotator cuff injury, they aren't going to do benchpresses, rows etc to strengthen it. Also even tho we don't use that movement in everyday life it still corrects the imbalance between internal and external rotation, plus it also strengthens the cuff anyway.

could you please suggest some other alternatives to strengtrhen the rotator cuff externally

@hunkyjelly , I understand your point and yes doing ext rotations with a band works to some degree however it is very minimal and does not transfer into functional movements well. What I've found works very well are: pulling variations, overhead pressing and diagonal patterns (D1, D2). Overhead pressing sounds odd but I've discovered that when teaching it properly it helps balance the rotator cuff without allowing dominance of either ext or int rotation. The pattern is what I look to train.

i tore my front delt a few yrs ago doing behind the neck shoulder presses 225lbs i have been dealing with the pain daily my shoulder is at 20% & it feels like 75% of the front delt is not attached & i kinda feel the pain in my bicept. Its definitely stopping my growth. i can bench 325, deadlift 600+, dumbell curl 70lbs. all with correct form. i played semi pro football & want to try my hand @ world strongest man. but im only @ 40% due to shoulder

@chad121777...it's possible that you're irritating your biceps tendon...the biceps can try to compensate for flexion of the shoulder if your front delt is still weak from the injury. the biceps is a very weak shoulder flexor however. You could get it checked out to rule any more serious complications/conditions out tho.

Hmm.. I hurt my left shoulder while doing p90x over a year ago and it has healed for the most part, but there is always a cracking sound in both of my shoulders when move them around. The cracking is mostly painless, just really strange and happens on pretty much every moment in that external rotation exercise you show with the towel at 2:30. It cracks on internal rotation too. Should I continue those exercises even though my shoulders keep cracking or do you think I need a doctor?

@HooligannSTR

Typically I don't worry about crackling sounds that are painless...There are changes that the joints undergo over time and it's difficult to say but perhaps you have some minor arthritic changes happening...I would focus on reinforcing optimum posture...Also, keep in mind that the internal & external rotation exercises most rehab protocols focus on with bands are non-functional movements and I wouldn't worry about performing them

THanks, i do those mistakes. Good explanation.

That was great, Kev. My problem was tear from a flat acromion, then a separated shoulder from a 1-point landing when a horse fell with me, not weight work or other extraordinary stress. The idea as the orthopedist explained it was to bulk up (strengthening incidental) muscle groups surrounding the joint so as to make it clear the rotator cuff and let it heal. Really worked, too, but wish I could find work to help the separated arm, which is weak and gets sore easily.

Thanks for sharing!

@chad121777 Sounds like you need surgery my friend I tore my delt also doing presses also around 190Lbs. Post operative prognosis is pretty good. My Strength is around 98% in that shoulder. Exercising through this will only make it worse down the road. I can curl around 85Lbs 90 on a good day. and am close to you it seems in lifts.(You deadlift about 45 more than me). Take care of it brother or shit will get worse. Good luck trying Worlds Strongest! Take care and train hard !

i cant sleep on my side or i would wake up in great pain. if i hold my phone to my ear my arm will get numb. my question is how long will it take for me to rehab back. im in construction so i would be out of work for a while.
