Rotator cuff exercises?

[CollegeKid]

saw a really built guy doing this wierd exercise today at the gym:

he was standing up, had both his arms up so that he looked like a football goal post, and had DBs in each hand. he then lowered his forearms to about parallel and then brought em back up straight. i figured it was a rotator cuff exercise.

question is: are these good for anything?

They are called cuban rotations. They are great for your rotator cuffs. I think they saved me from have surgrey on my right shoulder. I was having problems with my right rotater cuff after my last cycle. I was talking to a doc and he said that he thought that I would benfit form doing some exercises for it. I Started doing Standing cable work and my pain slowly started to subside.
I started doing cuban rotaions after getting some help on this board and with in two weeks I was back to normal. I think the thread was Get your cuffs strong here . It saved me from surgrey in my opinon.
