Lat-

i was tryin to do rotator cuff stuff with real light weights and stuff.... But I never knew when to do it.. And I don't really work shoulders at all because of the pain.. I work the rear delts with back, and from delts with chest..... You think its still a good idea?? What do you do?? Thanks man

I always do a full rotator cuff workout first, then concentrate on hammering my delts togrther as a whole. Use the rotator cuff workout as a warmup. You will be suprised at how you feel after a month or so. Your delts wont hurt nearly as bad. A lot of times the pain you feel in the delts is actually a referred pain from deeper inside from the cuff muscles. Try in for a month or so, what have you got to loose. Good luck, and drop me a I.M. if you have any other problems.

I had a serious shoulder injury a year ago(torn labrum) and couldn't lift for 3 long, depressing months. Surgery was suggested, but I tried physical therapy first and thankfully it helped. Do not take chances with your shoulders! I do rotator cuff exercises 3 times a week and lift very hard, but very carefully. I don't do straight bar bench(db instead), upright rows, or dips anymore because they stress my shoulder too much. Heavy lateral raises aren't that great either.

Keep the wide grip upright rows, real close to your body as well.
