I use some resistance bands to warm up my shoulders. My left one is all kinds of snapped up from an injury, the warm ups have really helped. Something to look into anyway when you are on the mend.





Haha thanks for trying to help but I injured my left shoulder using resistance bands. However I did not stretch first, and they were about as powerful a band setup as you can get for what I was doing. I've done it a bunch before but clearly I need to stretch and warmup more before I go that intense in future.

I am having sympathy pains for you Djoser, along w/ sm newly amped-up pain in my left shoulder. You know all abt the initial injuries but I popped that sucker twice in the last month. I'll be having a hot soak in the tub later, along w/ a good stiff drink in your honour! Hope your injury feels better quickly![]()




Wishing you a speedy recovery and hoping you're 'back on the pole' soon!

Oh crap. The person above me said the same.exact.thing! Lol


Are you still injured?
Don't stretch before weight training, as the chance of injury is increased. Just do 5 mins of cardio, and then dynamic stretching, then warmup sets, then your main working sets.
Stretch after.
Also, for the shoulders of most people, internal rotation is strong and external rotation is weak which will lead to injury.
Just saw this, Djoser get some blood flow to the area through massage, deep tissue. The rotator cuff is a very easy muscle to tear, I have issues with my left. Most people don't do exercises for it because it's not a sexy muscle. There is a equation to how much you can push to the amount of strength in that muscle but I forget. Band work is how it's strengthened.





Wow just saw all the replies--thanks everyone!
I can still do the pole work. What was much harder for a while (but getting much better now) were the handstand pushups that have always been the core of my workout. The shoulder is slowly getting better, but is still a little tender. I injured it using several very high tension bands at once in a boxing motion; just up and started doing it which is what I have always done with any extreme exercise.
From now on I will ease into it--already have done a little and I can tell it will be alright if I ease into it in future, instead of going full tilt right off.

Instead of bands, I'd use a cable machine for your rotator cuff because the strength curve is more even through the ROM. Or you could lie down on your side and use a light dumbell.
Also, the external rotators would need more work, for people who train.

Compensate by using both hands.





That's a great cup!^
Hope you're shoulder's feeling better soon, DJ
