Dangerous excercises for your 'Cuffs'

[b fold the truth]

I am not a phd and your doctors are probably not strength athletes either.

Training on and off for 14 years? Great...

You stated what you did about not doing anything behind the neck and doing machines for shoulders...like it was as good as gold. Your opinion.

Your guidelines are the best to avoid tendonitis? I have had bicep tendonitis before...strengthen, work around, overcome.

Never said I was all knowing...I just know what I know from experience.

Re-read what I have posted on this thread. I said nothing attacking you directly...just stated that your ideas are not the ones that I would suggest to people. Anyone who does "nothing" behind the neck, uses machines for shoulders, and doesn't go deep on the bench press...needs to work on a lot of other things or rethink their goals.

The doctors told YOU this. It's not a recommendation for EVERYBODY. Or at least it shouldn't be.

Pressing only with machines?? You've got to be kidding me.

Like I said it was not just my opinion but the doctors instructions. As for the part of getting stronger an overcoming your right I did it myself but that was not the ?. He asked what exercises not to do not how to fix tendonitous. Zulu man I did not say that its for everyone but said that its good for people with cuff problems and if you remember I said if your joint hurts when you do an exercise to discontinue it man don't know where you came up with that one. Also Bfold I don't remember this post haveing to do anything with being a strength athelete personaly I am a bodybuilder and there are plenty of ways to get big with the limitations I posted. For example I will never go all the way to my chest again on a barbell bench but I can go all the way down with dumbells and my shoulders have grown quit well from hammer strength presses and other various machines.

Don't take any of my posts wrong. I still believe that anyone can grow from simple exercises, lots of hard work, and full range motions. If anyone has a crippling (or close to) problem that keeps them from doing an exercise...I understand. Not touching your chest on the bench press...I think that you are way off. Very way off... Machines...very way off again.

Most PhD's are skinny guys who have never done any kind of serious training in their entire lifes. Once again...they learned from a book and not from experience.

If your shoulders hurt...do everything that you possibly can to strengthen it within their limits. Push those limits till those limits expand to "full strength" once again.

We are all strength athletes in one manner or another and to one degree or another. Progressive Resistance Training is bodybuilding.

If you have tendonitis, especially in the bicep area, you can do several things to help improve it.
Massage it frequently, several times a day
Ibuprofen, 600mg 3x a day for 14 days straight
Orudis KT, 3 a day for 3 days, 2 a day for 2 days, 1 a day for 1 day or as needed
Icy Hot the entire area before you train
Icy after you train and several times a day
Light Band work
Heat several times a day
Find a way to keep your wrist straight when you sleep
Work on preventitive measures to keep it from coming back
