    The amazing thing about the rotator cuff, is that it can be extremely undeveloped and sore for essentially forever and you can still functionally work the biceps, triceps, and delts. I was suffering from this annoying "minor" pain in my one arm for the longest time and it would seemingly come and go. What I realized is that poor form from fatigue would result in minor twisting in exercises that targeted the arms and shoulders. This would trigger the rotator cuff and cause the pain. It wasn't until I started working out the minor muscles that the pain started feeling better and eventually went away. These muscle exercises might look stupid, but in reality these are probably the most important muscles in the entire arm.

      Something in both of my shoulders have been sore constantly for about 3 years now. Now I’m starting to get what I thought was distal bicep tendinitis, but I think you’re right that the rotator cuff is really the source of the problem.

    Great video. 💗 Traditional Rotator Cuff isolation exercises alone don't address the CAUSE. I had rotator cuff issues for several years and discovered that a lack of upward rotation of the scapula was the underlying cause. (With a lack of upward rotation of the scapula there is less roof space in the shoulder, so the rotator cuff muscles have to work waaay too much.) That was the cause in my case and I believe is the cause in most cases. Exercises for serratus anterior and the lower traps to activate them and strengthen them increased the upward rotation of the scapula and... Shizam! Adios shoulder issues!👍

Although I knew some of these exercises, I didn’t think of combining like you explained, and the fleshed out explanation filled in some minor details that are easy to not think of.

    Great video showing all the shoulder exercises.....

The upshot is 2 wks after rupturing my bicep my shoulder problem disappeared! I have a slightly weaker right arm but I'm now pain free.

From what I’ve watched here, you have different exercises for different areas for the rotary cuff/shoulder. I feel I will benefit from some of these then what I’m currently doing.

    This video is incredible. Just so easy to see what's what, something that is very rare in shoulder rehab videos. And concise considering the vast range of exercises covered.
    One thing I've never seen answered: is there a group of simple exercises that tests appropriate strength e.g. at bodyweight a healthy person, but recovering from shoulder ailment, can do X pushups, Y chins (underhand pullups) and Z overhead press (at say 15% bodyweight).
    Some ratio that is a marker for being on the right track? I'd love to know this.
