Shoulder still bums when sleeping and rolling out it etc etc, but the pain from lifting is NOTHING like it use to be. I don't care what anyone says, it helped me. I was in pain for 3/4 months prior to running the cycle. Something like driving would irritate the shit out of it or putting on a shirt. Nothing like that anymore, now its just a little bum here and there when I sleep and roll on it. Even lifting while off for the past 2 months, pain has not really came back while lifting. Its "barely" there at most and I still lift in the 300s ( just using that exercise as an example. )
also, while on cycle ( not any more ) I always did rotators-cuff movements with 5lbs on the cable machines to warm up. inner and outter head and used 5lb front delt raises. 2 sets x 12/15 reps each movement.
