Rotator Cuff exercises

[KillahBee]

Can you lift w/o pain at least ?

For me, I no longer have this sharp pain, unless I'm doing inclines, heavy BB bench press and military press

for the most part. but it still is keeping me from making any major gains in any sort of bench press.

I use a shoulder horn. On upper body days I use it with ridiculously light weights as a warmup, and never to failure. For example, 10 reps with no weight, 10 reps with the little pink dumbells, 6 reps, 4 reps with slight increases in weight. It's just to get the blood moving.
On chest day I do this warmup, and following the chest exercises I do 3 sets of 15 reps (to failure).
Shoulder horns are pretty cheap. They're a good investment.

I bought a nice set of bands that came with handles and a velcro strap to secure it to the post on a power rack (or in my case, around my foot so I can work on my ankle). I got them from a big PT center. I think it was $15 for 2 different bands/1 handle/1 fastener. They had 2 sets - 1 with lighter bands and 1 with heavier (nothing super heavy - this is rehab and rotator stuff). I've always wanted a decent set of these. It's a worthwhile purchase to have in your permanent arsenal. You can do without them but for $15 I'll splurge on my joints.
