Hell - its been 14 years for me...for my right shoulder. Blew it out pitching w/o warming up properly, I was 13 - who knew. I have a partially torn tendon in my right shoulder (called a SLAP lesion) - its consistently 10% weeker than my left shoulder which is weird...it hurts every time I work out, it even hurts when I run because of the repetitive motion of swingin my arms.
Anyway - I added cuff exercises back in - did my first routine of them today. Thanks for the reminder...
My routine - done w/ 10lb dBs
3x15 shoulder rotations - done laying on my side on a flat bench rotating with elbow at 90 degrees moving weight from my stomach as far as I can w/o moving my elbow away from my body.
Superset of the following:
3x15 front raises - thumbs up
3x15 side raises - thumbs up
3x15 45 degrees (between front and side) w/ thumbs down
By thumbs up I mean keep the dB vertical (your thumbs pointing to the ceiling) - thumbs down=oppisite of that.
