[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 1224173, member: 42691"] A old gym hand gave me some real good advice about the rotator cuff a few years back. Mine was sore and I mentioned it to him. The first thing he told me was if I wanted to avoid a RC injury, never--NEVER--reach out and use a heavy muscle load to bring something towards your cheats. He told me to do everything possible to bring a heavy object close to your body without stressing your muscles. Our strength zone is always as close to our body as we can get it. Second, when I would lift with my shoulders, he always had me warm up doing field goals. What you do is hold your elbows straight out to your sides, then start with your forearms parallel to the ground. Then raise your forearms straight up and back, like you are signalling a good field goal. Do a couple of sets with 25 to 30 reps. He swore by these things to lube up and prepare your rotator cuffs for lifting or getting ready for activity. I've done these things forever now, Sure, it could be a coincidence, but I've never had a RC problem. [/QUOTE]
